Leaving Syria

On this year end edition of the Geopolitical Report, I take a look at Trump’s surprise decision to withdraw troops from Syria and Afghanistan. While this should be a welcome development, we should remain skeptical the withdrawal will actually happen. I examine why this is probably the case. I also take a look at Trump’s serial flip-flops and his disastrous foreign policy which is in direct conflict with his election campaign promises. As usual, the corporate media hasn’t bothered to look at this in depth and has instead exploited it to once again criticize the president. Most news coverage focuses on the foreign policy establishment’s criticism of getting out of Syria and Afghanistan, thus once again making arguments for sustaining forever war and failed policies. This is why Newsbud is important—to provide a venue for the other side of the news either omitted, spun, or glossed over by the script readers doing service for the warfare state. In order to make informed decisions, the people need information sources that debunk official lies and misrepresentations. That’s what Newsbud is all about. But we can’t do it without you. Please consider making a donation or subscribing to Newsbud so we can continue to bring you concise analysis of the political events that are now shaping our future. The ruling elite and their functionaries are now trying to make sure you can only access information vetted by their propaganda specialists. Newsbud stands in the way of that agenda.
