Iran is next. POTUS setting something up? President Trumps removal of a small contingent of military personel has caused pearl clutching in every corner of the swamp. In particular Lyndsey Graham. Who remember was tied hoof and snout to noname. The presidents decision however may have something to do with Iran. To the articles. Senators announce outline to sanction Turkey https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2019/10/10/Senators-announce-outline-to-sanction-Turkey/2011570682930/?spt=slh&or=2 Then this https://www.dailysabah.com/diplomacy/2019/10/09/turkey-rightfully-worried-about-its-southern-borders-iran-president-says Dont let the byline fool ya. Iran is now conducting military exercises near the Turkish border. These are historical enemies! Iran and Turkey have each their own interests in Syria and this may lead to a conflict between these two M.E. powers. This also puts Putin in a pickle ....boy howdy. For a very long time rootin pootin Putin and Russia have been at each others throats, more especially after Turkey shot down a Russian acft. Which led to some fence mending and cooperation. Russia has been allied with Iran and helping them with their nuclear tech (in competition with china.) So, this seems to be a strategic move on the part of POTUS. Letting the natural tendencies of the players expend themselves on each other. And causing Russia and china big problems on what to do with who. This gives Israel rest and gives us less problems to deal with in the area. Meddeling in this crap was bushes obama and  hilldawgs idea. If we back off the problems will resolve themselves and we do not loose troops.
