Trump administration plans to pull U.S. troops from Syria immediately.
The fallout: The Kurds will now have to face Turkey alone, which will force them into an alliance with the Syrian Army. Turkey will then have to face Syria, Iran and Russia where Putin will encourage the Turks to withdraw from Syrian territory in order to preserve their economic (gas pipeline) deals, in a situation where the Turkish economy is presently under a lot of pressure.
In related news the backlash from the mainstream media and from both political parties to this withdrawal, and from the military industrial corporate warhawks in the Pentagon, reveals that these folks are the enemy of the average American person. US troops have ended up being cannon fodder for dead end conflicts that support the goals of large defence corporations and the goals of the neoconservatives - but not the American Nation (Note that no Middle Eastern country will attack Israel because they have HUNDREDS of nuclear weapons).
The running excuse for maintaining the illegal Syrian deployment is that the mission to stop ISIS is not over, but it is. The Russians and Syrian Army have the situation under control.
It has also been said that continued occupation is needed to block Iran (and Russia), but Iran is ONLY there because ISIS was winning. Let the Syrian coalition win, and then EVERYONE can go back home to their respective countries:
