administration who served and helped direct the kurdish fighters in the fight against isis. how are they responding this morning? right, again, i think they very much view the sdf, the syrian defense forces, as one, just one of the key, perhaps the key allies in the fight against isis. and the former special envoy, bret mcguirk, who served under president obama but also in the early months of the trump administration, very tough in his tweets this morning. and he is saying, and i quote, donald trump is not a commander in chief, he makes impulsive decisions with no knowledge or deliberation. he sends military personnel into harm s way with no backing. he blusters and then leaves our allies exposed when adversaries call his bluff or he confronts a hard phone call. a lot of formers and allies like lindsey graham, like nikki haley, expressing a good deal of dismay, feeling very much that
withdraw from nato? yeah. that s silly. you know, you look at people like general mattis and bret mcguirk who are on their way out really made an effort to point out their concerns about the president s adherence to alliances or his confidence in these alliances going forward. and you talk about how, you know, the dynamic needs to change, 70 years later we are in a different world. president trump knows that america can t go it alone. we need partners we built that collisions of dozens and dozens of country to defeat isis. pressure on north korea to protect not only united states, japan, south korea and the whole region. president trump understands that strong nations will have alliances that work on behalf of their countries and all countries. that s what we are trying to do not only with nato but with every organization around the world. is it working and delivering security for the american people? if it is we will reinforce. where it s not we will work to make it better.
