Speaking at a Florida rally in front of 9,000 people, President Trump announced on Saturday evening that the Gulf States will end up paying the cost of the Syrian safe zones he intends to establish, insisting those nations “have nothing but money.”
Recent reports had suggested the Trump Administration was having second thoughts on the safe zones scheme, but Trump presented it as a matter of decided policy at the speech, saying it would allow Syrians to “Stay there and life safely in their cities” for the duration of the civil war.
Trump did not offer any new details on how the scheme would work, nor any specificity on which Gulf states would be paying what for the plan. A bigger question though is whether these states have been consulted on paying for the program yet, as Trump had similarly suggested Mexico would pay for his border wall without getting Mexico to agree to it first.
While the safe zones were expected to be a costly effort, that was only part of the concern surrounding them, with bigger questions surrounding the large number of US ground troops needed to secure that area, and whether efforts to impose no-fly zones over such areas would bring the US into direct war with Russia and syria.
Like Mexico paying for the wall? President Trump is beginning to face the reality that doing his things need funding.
Like Mexico will pay for the wall.
Just more pap for the lowlife who bought into Trump’s bullshit because they were motivated by their wallets. How sad that Raimondo continue to perp this kind of nonsense.
Okay, they’ll pay for it. So, who will die for it? Who will suffer combat operations for months at a time for it?
They’ve “got nothing but money” so it won’t be them.
This is what Hillary and her Deep State around Michele Fournoy said they’d do. We voted against that, and now the Deep State is in full rebellion to force it anyway.
Removes any doubt that there is any difference between the major parties, rogue or not.
June 17, 2011 The Destabilization of Syria and the Broader Middle East War
What is unfolding in Syria is an armed insurrection supported covertly by foreign powers including the US, Turkey and Israel.

Creating safe zones in Syria is PART of the AGENDA of the globalists…..then the safe zone will be over run with isis & taken over, that way Syria can be split up.
I voted for Trump, but this idea sounds like it came out of the brain of a guy who seldom thinks things through. The last news I’ve seen said that Assad has emphatically stated that he does NOT want to allow the creation of any ‘safe zones’ inside Syria because he is convinced that they would (a) become a recruiting grounds for ISIS, and (b) he knows how devious the neocons are and he sees this as a pretence to station thousands of US military troops inside Syria – and then use those troops to try to overthrow the duly elected government of Syria and orchestrate another neocon regime change. Since Syria is a sovereign nation and under international law has every right to refuse to allow a foreign military force to enter it’s borders – just how in the heck is Trump going to follow through on this lamebrain idea?
This is NOT to suggest that I want even ONE of these so-called Syrian refugees to be brought to the USA – but, unless Trump can find some nation in the Middle East who would volunteer to allow a safe zone to be created inside their sovereign territory – I fail to see how this idea is ever going to work.
Maybe he can talk his buddy Bibi Netanyahu into letting these safe zones be set up in Israel?
