2/ First, contrary to the belief of much of the establishment, there was no magic moment in 2011/12 when U.S. could have put our muscle behind the rebels to topple Assad. From the start, Iran/Russia had more at stake than us, & they were always going to do more than us to win. — PolitiTweet.org

1/ Trump's abandonment of the Kurds is the precipitating cause of this pending disaster in Syria, but we shouldn't let the foreign policy establishment gloss over years of hubris and bad policy in Syria (that all led to this moment) and avoid a real accounting of what went wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

3/ But our hubris led to us to believe that tepid, mostly secret support to the rebels could do the job. All it did was prolong the war, without ever being enough to help them win. We dragged the war on needlessly, and misled the rebels about what we were prepared to do. — PolitiTweet.org
