I have to wonder what initiated this change of heart, considering that he's seemed a lot like a rowdier version of your average neocon lately. It could be just the 11th hour of a republican-controlled House, I suppose. I've heard some speculate that it's the result of this wall gofundme and other increased support from the base, but who knows.

But all within two weeks? What's going to happen next, finally a subpoena from the DOJ to Hillary? A return to a gold standard? It's just all of a sudden a boatload of good news I'm kind of beside myself. Did the ghost of Christmas future visit Trump or something?

Some analysis:
- An interesting thing to note is how the Syrian hawks have completely dropped the "Assad needs to be kicked out, regime change now" angle.
- Never heard of this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_Sycamore
- Larger picture, is this just part and parcel of the neocon foreign policy thinktanks dying?
– And the seeds planted by Ron Paul after the Giuliani moment?

Rememner what Trump said in his election campaign.
He was not going to telegraph what the US will be doing and give the enemy prior warning.
He probably always intended to have the troops home this Christmas. But unlike previous leaders he didnt make a thousand speeches about it months in advance. He just announced it and then did it.
Very refreshing.

You think it's bad? I love it. Traps invented the original concept of the red pill, and lots of cute NatSoc traps browse /pol/.
Feminine and fashionable Hugo Boss cuties either curse the left for tricking them into being transgender, or they accept being a girl happily, and display their beauty and grace as an example to females.
All good traps are anti-feminist, so traps ended up being the most traditional, beautiful girls. And /pol/ loves them.

Yes, I remember that very well. The "change of heart" comes from the fact that he's personally ordered three air strikes on Syria before doing that, and that this is coming only now, instead of two years ago. There's no reason I see this couldn't have been a CY+2 Christmas present instead of CY+3.

Is this government intervention?
>US President Donald Trump suggested that a recent swoon in US sharemarkets is a buying opportunity for investors, even though many analysts blame his policies and Washington gridlock for the plunge.
<"We have companies - the greatest in the world, and they're doing really well," Trump told reporters at the White House on Christmas Day. "They have record kinds of numbers. So I think it's a tremendous opportunity to buy. Really a great opportunity to buy."
>US equities extended a weeks-long slide into Christmas Eve, dragging the benchmark S&P 500 index to its lowest level in 20 months. The president has looked to the sharemarket as a barometer on his administration, and the declines have infuriated him.

What will happen to the Kurds when the US leaves though? Turkey could come in and wipe them out leading to a potential massacre or even genocide. What about Assad? With the rebels on the verge of defeat, will he turn on the Kurds as tankies have a habit of turning on left anarchists? If Syria has taught the world anything it's that, "the enemy of my enemy is not your friend". The Kurds are arguably one of the better forces in the region and deserve their own state.

Here's the fucking answer: He's playing long-term.
Look at the progression of events in 2 or 4 year periods at a time. You're liberatarian, right? So you like money. Ever trade stocks or currencies before? Well, if you look at a chart on the 5 minute view, you get one perspective. But if you zoom out and view it at 4 hours per candle, it's a different view. And zoom out more, and view it at one day per candle, the truth is known.
Just zoom out and see how this is all working very, very slowly. Not days at a time, but years.
