Among the supporters of our great President Trump is Robert Ford. Ford received his master's degree in Middle East Studies from Johns Hopkins University. He is fluent in Turkish and Arabic, and served as U.S. Ambassador to Algeria and was later appointed by Barack Obama as U.S. Ambassador to Syria. He was three-times decorated with the Meritorious Service Medal by Hillary Clinton and received a Profile in Courage Award from the Kennedy Foundation. After the disastrous collapse of the Obama regime, Ford was appointed a professor at Yale University. He has now come out in support of the illuminated foreign policy approach that is single-handily the work of President Donald J. Trump.
Trump is right to recognize limits of US military in Syria, ex-ambassador
According to Robert Ford, the last U.S. ambassador to serve in Syria, these critics fail to recognize the limits of American influence over developments inside Syria. Further, he advised that changing the facts on the ground would require a military and diplomatic investment that most Americans are not likely willing to make.
"I think the president is correct in saying that, in the end, the countries there in the Middle East—Syria, Turkey, Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Iran—they're the ones that are going to have to devise and negotiate a sustainable solution to the crisis in Syria, including eastern Syria," said Ford, who is currently a fellow at the Middle East Institute and Yale University.
"The idea that Americans are going to achieve that is not realistic," he explained. "Because the Americans don't even speak to two of the central protagonists, the Syrian government and the Iranian government, and the size of our military deployment is far too small to provide much diplomatic leverage."

Remember: all criticism of the President printed by the press are lies designed to beguile, bamboozle, defame, and mislead. They are enemies of the people.
