once some troops die then there is a segment of Americans that will never accept withdrawal.

This has got to be one of the dumbest moves an American administration has ever made and that is saying a lot because we have made some really dumb moves when it comes to meaningless wars.

We simply have to stop elected low quality leadership for our leaders - if this is the best we can do then we are definitely a failed nation state..

For US bases. Anyone could see this coming. Why would those countries want to pay for their own militaries when the US tax payers will do it for them?

Iran has literally no allies except China, Russia and NK and none of those are willing to invest much in them.
