| America First - Time For United States to Police Our Own Neighborhood |

| [Canadian Free Press] In November of 2016, the American people elected Donald Trump to be our nation’s 45th President. He campaigned on a platform of bringing our troops back home from Syria and Afghanistan and focusing on an "America First" foreign policy. By announcing he was removing our 2,000 troops from Syria, the President is following through on another campaign promise. Syria is a hodgepodge of multiple terrorist groups, regional forces, foreign troops and religious fighters exerting influence. Our forces have been working with the Kurdish fighters in the Northeast section of the country fighting Islamic State terrorists. The operation has been an amazing success and the Islamic State has suffered tremendous losses. In both Iraq and Syria, the terrorists now control only 1% of the land they used to dominate. The conflict in Syria will continue with or without the involvement of the United States. |

| #5 We need allies. You'll find people with shared common interests in a particular matter. If they share no interest as demonstrated by their behavior, they're not allies. |

| #3 Just make sure it doesn't turn into America Only. We need allies. And we should always go after the wolf instead of waiting for it to start eating our flock. |

| #1 The paragraph about restocking military hardware is apropos. More whack-a-mole or B-21s and Columbia class SSBNs? I say buy the hardware and invest in the manpower. There are going to be hellholes in this world whether the US is there or not. Let's get our own house in order now. |
