Why Is Trump Helping Obama’s Islamists in Syria?
By Julio
Severo
U.S. President
Donald Trump took the world by surprise when he ordered the U.S. military to launch a cruise missile strike on a Syrian airbase Thursday in
reaction to a deadly chemical attack, allegedly by the Syrian government, on
Islamic rebels formerly supported by Obama and now by Trump.
The
major problem that Trump faces in foreign policy is neocons, and he
clearly identified it before his election. But now he does not
recognize this problem anymore.
Yet,
the reason for Trump’s attack on Syria has been disputed.
Former
senator Ron Paul said:
“[I]t doesn’t make any sense for
Assad under these conditions to all of a sudden use poison gasses. I think
there is a zero chance he would have done, you know, this deliberately.”
Joseph
Farah, WorldNetDaily (WND) chief, said:
“I strongly disagree with President
Trump’s decision to attack Syria… There are two warring parties in Syria – the
Syrian government, which is attempting to repulse an invasion and partial
occupation of Syrian territory, and ISIS, a terrorist plague on the entire
world, not just Assad’s regime… Both of those parties have been accused of deploying
sarin weapons against civilians, though I have yet to see any proof that Assad
ever did… ISIS is the primary opposition to Assad.”
“The White Helmets, a al-Qaeda
affiliated group funded by George Soros and the British government, reportedly
staged the sarin attack on civilians in the Syrian city of Khan Shaykhun to lay
blame on the Syrian government.”
The
Syrian government has been in a deadly war against two enemies: ISIS and
Islamic rebels supported formerly by Obama and now by Trump. In 2015 Obama gave
to these rebels $500 million for “training.” A multimillion dollar investment
against a government fighting ISIS.
To
fight only against ISIS is a huge challenge. How to fight at the same time
against two enemies facilitated or trained by the U.S.? Even Trump recognized last year that ISIS was
founded by Obama.
But he never attacked ISIS as he is attacking Syria. By attacking Syria, he is
automatically helping ISIS.
Hillary
Clinton, John McCain, Lindsay Graham, Paul Ryan and leftists have praised
Trump’s attack on Syria. Incidentally, all of them were or are in George Soros’s payroll.
But
praises are not coming from conservatives.
Michael Savage, a powerful anti-neocon writer,
had called Trump the “Winston Churchill of our time” in July 2015. But now, on his
Thursday radio show, Savage complained, “The generals have gotten to him
and turned him from peace with Russia. And the people standing in the way of
war, like Steve Bannon, are being shown the door. This beating of the war drums
with Russia has to stop.”
Alex Jones, of Infowars, said in
February that he was “ready to die for Trump.” Now that Trump launched
airstrikes against Syria, Jones said on a Friday livestream, “Trump is really
disintegrating in my eyes on many levels.”
Ann Coulter, U.S. conservative author and
political commentator who had been an ardent Trump supporter and
wrote a book titled “In Trump We Trust” last year, has used social
media to criticize the Trump’s decision. “Those who wanted us meddling in the
Middle East voted for other candidates,” she wrote on Twitter in the early
hours of Friday morning, adding:
“Trump campaigned on not getting
involved in Mideast. Said it always helps our enemies & creates more
refugees. Then he saw a picture on TV.”

“Christians who live in Syria are
terrified of what will happen if Assad is gone.”

“What follows Assad? What followed
Saddam? Gaddafi? 15 yrs, 6k lost heroes 500k massacred Christians $5 Trill--for
what?”

Coulter
and a number of Trump’s well-known supporters have expressed their surprise —
and fear — at Trump’s hasty decision, which is totally at odds with his previous stance on
interventionism. As a presidential candidate, Trump campaigned against military
exploits abroad, often railing against Bush and his war in Iraq. In December,
shortly after winning election, he said “we will stop racing to topple foreign
regimes that we know nothing about, that we shouldn’t be involved with.”
When
Obama was considering military action against Syria in 2013, Trump strongly urged him not to do it.
In
one September 5, 2013 all-caps criticism, Trump tweeted, “AGAIN, TO OUR VERY
FOOLISH LEADER, DO NOT ATTACK SYRIA – IF YOU DO MANY VERY BAD THINGS WILL
HAPPEN & FROM THAT FIGHT THE U.S. GETS NOTHING!”
“Don’t
attack Syria – an attack that will bring nothing but trouble for the U.S. Focus
on making our country strong and great again!” Trump tweeted four days later.
During
the presidential campaign, Trump also bashed Hillary Clinton for her disastrous
foreign policy, tweeting, “Crooked Hillary Clinton’s foreign interventions
unleashed ISIS in Syria, Iraq and Libya. She is reckless and dangerous!”
What
has made Trump change his mind and act as Hillary would have done, by
helping ISIS in Syria? What has made him listen to neocons?
After
all, what is the point of being pro-life within the United States and not being
pro-life for Christians directly threatened by ISIS in Syria?
What
is for sure is that the Trump who attacked Syria and helped ISIS is not the
same Trump who lambasted neocons last year. Where is the original anti-neocon
Trump?
