And I think he decided to announce bringing home those troops because he realizes that he is falling short on his campaign promises and that he can just declare ''victory'' in this case to impress his faithful. He believes he needs to appear decisive and that this will give that appearance.

our military and government both refer to Rojava distinct from Syria in their statements. Nobody is abandoning the Kurds. I just posted a video showing part of a 150 truck convoy of logistical supplies on page one. That was like yesterday.
Leaaving Syria means they are likely abandoning al-tanf, which is a necessary compromise. Nobody as of yet has mentioned leaving Rojava, where the bulk of our coalition partners have established bases and radar sites with us.
Syria lost a third of it's land in this war. It now belongs to our hegemony.

I don’t think it is a coisindance that Trump decides to bring the troops home after the military is bringing up charges in the major who killed the bomb maker.
I think it hit home to him, that America is really not trying to win. So instead of wasting time, money, and American lives and body parts, it was time to bring the troops home.
You could be right, but as long as we're throwing out theories, here's mine......
Putin wanted the US out of Syria. And trump bent over....that's why Mattis left, pure and simple.
Mattis and Kelly both had bipartisan support. Now they're gone and russia will be in control of the region. what could possibly go wrong with russia's new alliance with China. Russia is not our friend and we just gave them control of the ME and the oil shipping lanes. Smart move trump!
This isn't a move to more peace in the region...this is a move toward a BIG war with horrible consequences.

US envoy Brett McGurk quits over Trump Syria pullout
In his resignation letter, seen by AP news agency, Mr McGurk said that IS militants in Syria were on the run but not yet defeated. He said that withdrawing US forces from Syria would create the conditions that gave rise to IS.
In an email to staff quoted by the New York Times, he said Mr Trump's decision to pull out troops "came as a shock and was a complete reversal of policy". It "left our coalition partners confused and our fighting partners bewildered", he said.
"I ultimately concluded I could not carry out these new instructions and maintain my integrity," he went on to say.
