Remember Trump had phone call with
Erdogan of Turkey, made a promise, then
promptly called the Pentagon and ordered
them to pull all US troops out of Syria?
No consultation with the Joint Chiefs,
no consultation with his Sec of State, just
an impulsive command. Same with him cancelling
military operations in S Korea. A top-down
decision to appease a foreign dictator with
no consultation with the Pentagon, the State
Dept or his own Chief of Staff.
This is the problem with putting a
"businessman" in the White House. They
think they can make foreign policy
decisions on a whim without getting all
the facts first.
