IN SOME ways, recent history appears to be repeating itself.
It wasn’t so long ago in December 2018 that the commander-in-chief of the US military, Donald Trump, announced that he would be pulling all troops from Syria.
This followed a phone conversation with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, which was apparently sufficient to convince him of the fact that Ankara could lighten Trump’s “burden” in Syria by taking over responsibility for “security” there, including the threat of any remaining cells of fighters from Islamic State (Isis).
