Panico se estabelece após Trump anunciar fim de guerra : afirmam que ele está "pavimentando o caminho rumo a um segundo 9/11"
O pântano é "assustado" pelo movimento de Trump em direção à paz

Após seu anúncio de que ele está retirando as tropas norte-americanas da Síria, o presidente Trump está avançando com a retirada do Afeganistão, de acordo com vários relatórios. A notícia abalou o establishment, com a mídia, os democratas e até mesmo os republicanos entrando em pânico.
O Wall Street Journal informou na quinta-feira que "7.000 soldados americanos começarão a voltar do Afeganistão nas próximas semanas". O número equivale a 50% de todas as tropas americanas estacionadas no país.
"A medida será a primeira etapa de um levantamento em fases e o início de uma conclusão da guerra de 17 anos que, segundo as autoridades, pode demorar pelo menos muitos meses", observa o relatório.
O movimento mandou Lindsey Graham ao colapso, com o senador republicano declarando que Trump está "abrindo caminho para um segundo 11 de setembro".
I have just returned from Afghanistan and can say – without hesitation – ISIS-K remains a direct threat to our homeland and they would dramatically benefit from a reduced American troop presence.

Like in Syria, troop withdrawal should be based on conditions on the ground.
The conditions in Afghanistan – at the present moment – make American troop withdrawals a high risk strategy.
If we continue on our present course we are setting in motion the loss of all our gains and paving the way toward a second 9/11.

Os relatórios coincidem com a renúncia do secretário de defesa dos EUA, James Mattis, que falou com Trump com um tom pungente em sua declaração final.
"Porque você tem o direito de ter um Secretário de Defesa cujas opiniões estão melhor alinhadas com as suas ... Eu acredito que é certo para eu deixar minha posição", escreveu Mattis.
O estabelecimento reagiu com o máximo de pânico, usando palavras como "assustador" e "assustador":
Just read Gen. Mattis resignation letter. It makes it abundantly clear that we are headed towards a series of grave policy errors which will endanger our nation,damage our alliances & empower our adversaries. 1/2

I hope we who have supported this administrations initiatives over the last two years can persuade the President to choose a different direction. But we must also fulfill our constitutional duty to conduct oversight over the policies of the executive branch. 2/2

This is scary. Secretary Mattis has been an island of stability amidst the chaos of the Trump administration. As we’ve seen with the President’s haphazard approach to Syria, our national defense is too important to be subjected to the President’s erratic whims.

General Mattis was a comfort to many who were concerned about the path the Trump Admin would choose to take. His resignation letter is defined by statements of principle — principles that drove him to leave the Administration. All of us should be concerned at this time.

The media followed behind in lockstep:
Syria withdrawal, Afghanistan draw down, Mattis gone, govt shutdown looming, President making decisions on the fly. Almost any other place in the world the guys in camouflage would be at the TV station by now.

If we lived in a lesser country than our great nation, today is the day we really would be talking about a military coup. Soldiers down to the enlisted ranks are raising hell about the President's Syria decision.

I think I speak for all national security reporters tonight when I say I’m about ready to jump off a cliff. But at least I already wrote the “who will replace Mattis” story two months (only two months?????) ago @ForeignPolicy foreignpolicy.com/2018/10/15/who…

Lawmakers and Pentagon officials said tonight that they were shaken by Mattis's departure and what it could mean for the U.S. military and the nation's national-security strategy. “We are on the edge,” one Pentagon official said. “This is unbelievable.” wsj.com/articles/trump…

Rubin acrescentou que o Congresso deveria "reafirmar sua autoridade exclusiva para travar uma guerra" para impedir que Trump inicie unilateralmente guerras:
Congress must reassert its sole authority to wage war, denying Trump the legitimacy to unilaterally launch first strikes. In addition, it is essential to subpoena the translator’s notes from Helsinki to determine what, if any, pledges Trump gave Putin

O comentário provocou algumas reações contundentes, dado que Trump é aquele que se retira ativamente das guerras declaradas unilateralmente:
Everyone is totally fine with the executive branch unilaterally starting wars, but God forbid it should unilaterally end one

If congress had reasserted its authority to wage war, we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place

Pay attention! He's pulling OUT of Syria. Mattis does not like this. Let him go. Your irrationality is showing.
