I’ll believe it when I see it. There’s no telling what is going to come out of some of these negotiations.
They can talk all they want about moving some troops around, making some changes etc.. but until they leave it is all talk.
It ultimately doesn’t really matter though. They’re going to have to leave one way or another. If they don’t leave voluntarily they are going to be forced to leave. The American presence in this region is unsustainable, especially considering the US support of the Jewish genocide in Gaza.
