Trump urges the U.S. to stay out of the Syrian rat's nest. Joe Biden responds with airstrikes and big-dollar nation-building plans

As President Trump is warmly received on the world stage, it's not hard to think that Joe Biden back home is jealously stewing and thinking up ways he can throw a few number-twos into Trump's punch bowl ahead of his taking office.
That's obvious enough in his response to President Trump's statement that the U.S. should stay out of Syria's civil war, particularly since the Russians and Iranians are on the run and will no longer be players.
Biden instead decided to escalate U.S. involvement upon hearing that, with airstrikes and approximately 900 U.S. troops on the ground. Biden normally hesitates in taking action of any kind, whether of securing the border, delivering aid to hurricane-ravaged North Carolina, or in offing bin Laden, but this time he decided to be decisive.
Trump stated that this wasn't our war and we shouldn't get involved. His statement makes sense because all sides in it -- from Iran-backed Assad's brutal torture regime, to the Marxist Kurdish rebels, to the ISIS and al-Qaida backwash that have taken Damascus -- are bad guys.
But Biden not only has launched airstrikes, he went on and on about nation-building in the hellhole regime.
According to CNN:
President Joe Biden on Sunday called the extraordinary fall of the Assad regime in Syria “a moment of risk” and “historic opportunity” while offering a blueprint for how the US plans to support the region.
Speaking at the White House in his first substantive comments since President Bashar al-Assad’s regime fell in the face of an astonishingly swift rebel offensive, Biden also announced the US had conducted dozens of airstrikes in Syria as it remains committed to preventing the resurgence of ISIS.
“It’s a moment of historic opportunity for the long-suffering people of Syria to build a better future

It sure looks like Joe intends to leave a big mess behind.

Joe is gifting grifters again. Maybe he’s looking for work after his Presidency?

A couple of apropos quotes:
"Joe Biden has been wrong about foreign policy for the last 40 years."
and
"Never underestimate Joe's ability to f*** things up."

Nation-building…it’s arrogant, expensive, and unworkable. Where have I heard that phrase before?
Oh, now I remember. It was from the idiot on the right in the picture below.

Joe (or whoever is behind this demented nitwit of a “president”) loves war and the money that comes from war-grift. Biden’s extended family should be “drafted” and sent to the front lines.

“As Robert Gates, former defense secretary in the Obama administration, once put it, Biden has “been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.””

Biden couldn’t find his butt even if he used both hands...
It’s Obama and his crew that’s causing most of the problems the U.S. is facing. After Obama showed up the world has started going down hill, and the pace is increasing with every passing year.

Air strikes to prevent chemical weapons and massive weapons stockpiles from falling into the hands of jihadis is fine.
Trying to build Syria into a real nation is a waste of blood, money, and time.

To be clear, he is not doing this to Trump, Trump is just who the American people hired to run this joint.
Biden is doing this to the American people. And surprisingly he has supporters. More than a few.
Probably time to rethink them good ol’ democrat boys down at the mill.

Something doesn’t seem right in Syria. The collapse of the Assad regime seems staged. There was almost no resistance to the rebels in fortified cities that held our for years. It doesn’t make sense. Could it be a trap to bleed the West similar to Afghanistan? Of course Biden will run head first into a trap. President Trump’s more reserved response is more prudent. The more I think about it the more I question what we are seeing.

But the CIA’s mouthpiece, NPR, says that they are more “moderate terrrorists”, so we should help them reorganize the central bank and let ‘em kill a few Jews and Christians.
These people are literally insane.

Think this is merely incompetence?
Because if it was, you’d think he would have been right sometimes.

Hopefully, they are coordinating with Israel; who knows what they are attacking?

Yes, and the left will still call Trump hitler/mussolini/stalin and refuse to give him the Nobel Peace Prize.
