News of Defense Secretary James Mattis's departure from the Trump administration was met with bipartisan shock and concern on Thursday.
Mattis announced he would resign at the end of February, writing in his resignation letter to President Trump that he deserved a secretary "whose views are better aligned with yours."
===================================
Trump's decision to withdraw all our forces from Syria is an obvious move to placate strongman Erdogan, who hates the Kurds that we supported. This is no victory but the opening setting for a disastrous human rights & strategic political & military catastrophe in the Middle East. Oh, and Putin approves also (naturally).
