John McLaughlin called Trump's decision a 'disaster' and illustrative of his 'reckless instincts' regarding foreign policy.
McLaughlin called the decision"a disaster on multiple levels." He explained the withdrawal"illustrates not only his reckless instincts on foreign policy but also the near-total absence of a process for making momentous decisions in his administration."
Such an approach, he argued, leaves other nations"shaking their heads and wondering: what is U.S. policy and how is it made?"Trump's Syria withdrawal prompted criticism from across the political spectrum. The president has defended his actions, suggesting there is no longer a need for U.S. troops to be stationed in northeastern Syria.
Trump also appeared to try and justify his decision based on the fact that Kurdish soldiers did not fight alongside Americans in the Second World War. He said the Kurds"didn't help us in the Second World War, they didn't help us with Normandy as an example—they mention the names of different battles, they weren't there."
Ultimately, the U.S. withdrawal from northeastern Syria"means the U.S. will surrender most of its influence in resolving what many countries see as the key political, military and humanitarian conflict of this decade," McLaughlin wrote.
