Graham says he's 'increasingly optimistic' Trump's Syria strategy will succeed

After spending a week railing against President Trump’s decision to pull U.S. troops out of northern Syria, abandoning America’s Kurdish allies and opening the door for Turkey’s deadly invasion, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said on Sunday that he now supports the move.
“I’m increasingly optimistic this could turn out very well,” Graham told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo. “I am increasingly optimistic that we can have some historic solutions in Syria that have eluded us for years, if we play our cards right.”......(read the rest at the link)

First of all, there is no strategy.

The megalomaniac told Erdogan in a phone call to go ahead and invade, the US will do nothing. A decision he made on a whim.

Kurds fled in terror and are being killed.

Our troops fled, destroying their own stuff and what they didn't were taken over by Russia.

US troops met in the streets with betrayer Kurds pelting produce.

What about that is a successful strategy?
