Vad skulle Trump vinna på att ljuga om sådant? Rent politiskt har han bara att förlora om han går emot neocons - McCain skulle personligen suga av honom bara om Trump började bråka med Putin.

Trump agrees to keep U.S. troops in Syria a 'little longer,' but wants out: senior official
Citat:
President Donald Trump agreed in a National Security Council meeting this week to keep U.S. troops in Syria a little longer but wants them out relatively soon, a senior administration official said on Wednesday.
Trump did not approve a specific withdrawal timetable at Tuesday’s meeting, the official said. He wants to ensure Islamic State militants are defeated but wants other countries in the region and the United Nations to step up and help provide stability in Syria, the official said.
“We’re not going to immediately withdraw but neither is the president willing to back a long-term commitment,” the official said.
Trump had signaled his desire to get U.S. forces out of Syria in a speech last Thursday in Ohio, and officials said he had privately been pressing for an early withdrawal in talks with his national security aides.

Ryssland fortsätter att knyta starka band med viktiga partners. Senast Turkiet nu som man verkar ha kommit väldigt nära.
Likaså i Kina verkar Shoigu och försvarsministern Wei Fheng ha uttryckt varma känslor för varandras länder och att man kommer utöka samarbetet ytterligare militärt.
En ny storhetstid väntar för Ryssland. Man har funnit styrkan igen. Nationalismen är stark och landet har aldrig mått bättre än vad den gör idag. Detta samtidigt som man ser ut att vinna i Syrien. Det sänder signaler till omvärlden att man tänker ge USA en ordentlig kamp om vilket land som är störst och mäktigast. Frågan är om inte USA storhetstid kan snart vara i skuggan av den stora mäktiga ryska björnen.
Hur Putin har lyckats med att förvandla Ryssland till en maskin är smått otroligt. För ett decennium sedan räknade ingen med dessa. Nu är det andra bullar.

Nä, det har inte gått så bra för Ryssland de senaste åren. Man hade fin tillväxt när oljepriset hade sin megabull-trend 2000-2008. Sedan har oljepriset fallit och man har misskött sin ekpnomi grovt samtidigt som sanktionerna biter hårt.
Se nedan fakta över tillväxten i Ryssland under många år. Tror inte den gemene ryssen är särskilt impad, om den nu får tillgång till denna statistik öht.
