There was a lot of truth spoken here, whether we conservatives wish to hear it or not, and most don't because they do not understand the politics of the Middle-East (Western Asia and Egypt in North Africa). Why Fox will not explain this, I have no idea. In the Middle-East, the counties politics are separate from their religion and sharia law. The northern countries are socialist/communist in their politics, and the south, such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan are not. That is what Afghanistan and Iraq was really all about, the political control within those countries.
In Iraq, it was the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party - Iraq Region (that of Saddam), which happens to be the same party that was installed in Syria, by an Iraqi led coup, under Assad's father. In Iran, after the Shah did his runner, it came under Russian control with the Ayatollah. Next, was Russia's invasion into Afghanistan, which borders Pakistan, during Carter.
In Syria, Assad's political party is the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party – Syria Region. It is part of a political front, known as the National Progressive Front.
The National Progressive Front consists of:
Syrian Regional Branch of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party
Arab Socialist Movement
Arab Socialist Union
Syrian Communist Party (Khalid Bakdash faction)
Syrian Communist Party (Yusuf Faisal faction)
Social Democratic Unionists
Socialist Unionists
Democratic Socialist Unionist Party
Arabic Democratic Unionist Party
National Vow Movement
Read from the links below, and you will understand what the US is trying to stop the spread of. It is stopping the spread of Marxism/Communism into southern Asia.

Separate the Muslim's religion and law from their politics, as they are completely different beasts. The radical Muslims are within and from these Marxist/Communist groups. They have been since the end of WWII. Yes, Putin did lie to Trump, and I'm sure Trump misled Putin about the US. That happens all the time, and has since this country was founded. What is going on now, is from a policy that was started under Eisenhower, after WWII, to stop the spread of communism, and to keep control of the resources in southern Asia.
