Putin Moves In After Trump Betrayal

Russian thug Vladimir Putin is seen as the main winner in the abrupt withdrawal of U.S. special forces from Syria, abandoning our Kurdish allies. After backing the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad for years, and maintaining friendly relations with the Iranian regime, Putin can now add the Kurds, who are seeking protection by Syrian and Russian forces against the Turkish incursion into Syria.

Now, Putin is expanding Russia's influence in the Middle East, arriving earlier today in corrupt Saudi Arabia to talk about regional security, energy policy and other matters. Also on the table is the provision of Russian S-400 air defense systems, which the Saudis may purchase at the same time that the U.S. is sending 3,000 additional troops to Saudi Arabia. After his discussions with murderous thug Crown Prince Mohammed "Bone Saw" bin Salman, Putin will fly on to another erstwhile U.S. ally, the United Arab Emirates, presumably to talk about the same issues.

Incompetent moron and Russian asset Donald "Tovarich" Trump has undone years of building relationships in the Middle East in one reckless action in Syria. Russia has long sought to expand its influence there beyond Syria, and they got a priceless gift from Trump toward that goal.
