Washington Free Beacon editor in chief Matthew Continetti said Thursday that the chances of war have increased now that the United States is withdrawing troops from Syria and Secretary of Defense James Mattis is resigning.
„There is this idea that all of these withdrawals, firing Mattis, removing Mattis, is going to make the world a more peaceful place. In my view that’s completely wrong. In fact, if America withdraws, as we know, bad actors move in, and the chances of war have increased tonight,“ Continetti told Fox News anchor Bret Baier.
Mattis‘ abruptly submitted his resignation letter on Thursday after meeting President Donald Trump at the White House to discuss the president’s decision to withdraw U. S. troops from Syria. It was reported Mattis tried to convince Trump to reverse his decision or at least let some troops remains but Trump refused. Trump tweeted that Mattis was „retiring“ but Mattis‘ letter shows he resigned over policy disagreements with the president.
