Remember when Obama announced a withdrawal of troops from Iraq & Afghanistan & when Trump announced a withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan & Syria? The credulous chose to believe them against the evidence of 150 years of US wars. Now Trump is deploying 1,000 more troops to some undisclosed place in the Middle East. That is on top of the thousands of mercenaries, special forces, CIA operatives, & undisclosed troops already there in several countries.

The only thing that will stop this is rebuilding a principled international antiwar movement.
