Obama, Kerry, Hillary and several others claimed to have forced Syria to be rid of chemical weapons.
Turns out they were wrong. They didn't do what Reagan advocated; namely "Trust But Verify."
Obama was full of plenty of talk, but fell down on results and follow through.
Trump is a man of action. The US military is many times that of Russia, for those weak of heart among you.
The US has 10 aircraft carriers, Russia just one. The budgets run US seven times that of Russia.
Negotiations are now underway. In this case there are several players. The US can oppose BOTH Assad and ISIS.
The US can notify Russia and Assad, we intend to destroy ISIS in the end. We invite their help.
The US can notify Russia and Assad, we intend to halt further harm to innocent civilians by the Assad government, even if it requires destruction of that government. If the harm stops, the government can remain in power and hopefully become an ally against Islamic terrorism.
