Now Iran can run weapons across Syria, even into Lebanon for Hezbollah, without worrying about it. But when it comes to Trump, stupid is as stupid does.

Being the C-in-C he has that authority but I'm of the opinion he tends to do what he is allowed to do without a great deal of forethought, on a whim, despite the advice he is able to call upon from the 'experts' whose job it is to advise.
This latest decision is nothing short of a gift to Putin and hands Syria over to Russia as their latest colony. This could well lead to some European countries (Britain included) wondering just how reliable an ally the US is under the current administration.
