Trump simply recognizes the Kissinger doctrine. Additionally it can be deduced from his regular statement about the waste in the ME--6 trillion dollars--that he feels Syria should be left to the Russians to figure out.
Look at the crap -we installed the Shia in Iraq and then through our surrogates fought Assad and the Shia in Syria.
Trump is looking at Libya and drawing his own conclusion.
Furthermore Trump is not a fool. He might not be polished but he has a strategic sense.
He knows that China is and will be our greatest challenge. Russia is weak.
It is foolish to make her weaker and push her in the hands of China, making China that much stronger.
The constant anti Russian articles are for the most part driven by Soros and his gang who were forced out and barred from Russia.
Obama paid them lip service because he owed them. Trump owes them nothing. Clinton owes them big time, but she failed to achieve power.
Now they are gathering...
Soros bands with donors to resist Trump, 'take back power'.
