Missed opportunity by President Trump to firmly hold Russia accountable for 2016 meddling and deliver a strong warning regarding future elections.

This answer by President Trump will be seen by Russia as a sign of weakness and create far more problems than it solves. (1/3)
It is imperative that Congress hold hearings on the extent and scope of any cooperation with Russia in Syria regarding Iran’s presence.
Finally, if it were me, I’d check the soccer ball for listening devices and never allow it in the White House.

I learned a lot from President @realDonaldTrump about our efforts in Syria that was reassuring. (1/3)
@realDonaldTrump The President will make sure any withdrawal from Syria will be done in a fashion to ensure:

1) ISIS is permanently destroyed.

2) Iran doesn’t fill in the back end, and

3) our Kurdish allies are protected.
@realDonaldTrump President @realDonaldTrump is talking with our commanders and working with our allies to make sure these three objectives are met as we implement the withdrawal. (3/3)

I’m very glad to see the President and First Lady visit our troops in Iraq.

It’s always good for morale to have a visit from the Commander in Chief.

foxnews.com/politics/trump…
We must remember these troops are in Iraq to retake ground from ISIS after Obama’s ill-conceived withdrawal.

The worst thing for morale would be to give back to the enemy territory that was previously taken through blood and sacrifice.
I hope President Trump will not do in Syria what Obama did in Iraq -- which led to the rise of ISIS.

We also must not abandon our Kurdish allies who have fought so hard by our side in Syria.

America’s worst nightmare is to have reliable allies -- like the Kurds who have fought so bravely against ISIS -- abandoned and destroyed.

washingtonpost.com/world/turkey-t…
Mr. President, we will never have partners in the future.

Our nation is better than this.

Please reevaluate the Syrian withdrawal strategy.
We will hold Turkey accountable for any actions to destroy America’s Kurdish allies who have fought so bravely against ISIS.

If this happens we will, in my view, put Erdogan in the same category as MBS of Saudi Arabia.

1/ The #Saudi kidnapping of #Khashoggi reminds me of the kidnapping of #Hariri. It is meant to embarrass the other party, this time the gov of #Turkey, and provoke a diplomatic crisis. This is drug Cartel methods. It has no other goal than to assert power over the other.
2/ However, resorting to these methods to assert power in the political and international affairs sphere is always a sign of weakness and a sign of a power in crisis. #SaudiArabia

When Russia downed MH17 over Ukraine, I thought surely that’s the West’s wake-up call to Putin’s shocking aggression. 4 yrs later, Russia uses the same playbook to avoid culpability—deny, lie & kick up the propaganda machine. Truth’s a great antidote👉NEW JIT investigation video
Netherlands, Australia Hold #Russia Responsible for 2014 Shooting Down of Malaysian Airliner #MH17, Killing All 298 Passengers. Russian response to indisputable evidence identifying 🇷🇺army, 🇷🇺missile & 🇷🇺soldiers? Same old denials & #disinformation. npr.org/sections/thetw…
Russia masked its invasion of Ukraine w/ propaganda about "separatists" & "civil war." Flight MH17–downed by Russian forces w/ Russian equipment–blew the lid off Russia's lies, I wrote in 2015. It took time, but the Kremlin's finally busted for its terror. eastwestblog.net/2015/07/18/rus…
