Now that Warren emphatically supported Trump's decision to withdraw troops from Syria & Afghanistan - ignoring @Maddow's desperate bait to bash Trump & instead condemned Endless War - the silence on these issues of Sanders (&, to a lesser extent, @AOC) becomes harder to maintain:

I emailed Sanders' office on Dec 26 to ask his view on Syria troop withdraw - was told they were discussing it but he didn't yet have a position. As I said, people are entitled to time to address complex matters, but these debates are central & ongoing silence is hard to justify.

To be clear, the quote I got when I emailed Sanders' office on Dec 26 about Syria troop withdrawal was this: "We’ve been discussing but he hasn’t made a statement yet." They're now suggesting this doesn't mean he has no position, just that he hasn't publicly expressed one yet.
