Key allies of Washington expressed concern on Friday (Dec 21) about the resignation of U.S. Defense Secretary #JimMattis and the policies of President Donald #Trump that prompted it, praising Mattis as a committed partner. Mattis said on Thursday he would quit after falling out with Trump over the latter’s foreign policies, including the surprise decision to pull troops out of #Syria and plans for a drawdown in #Afghanistan.
Mattis has been seen in Europe as firmly committed to the #NorthAtlanticTreatyOrganisation (NATO) #military alliance, unlike his ex-boss. Trump has warned European allies the United States could withdraw its support unless they boost #defence spending.

'A rogue presidency’: The era of containing Trump is over
For President #Trump, the era of containment is over. One by one, the seasoned advisers seen as bulwarks against Trump’s most reckless impulses have been cast aside or, as Defense Secretary #JimMattis did Thursday (Dec 20), resigned in an extraordinary act of protest. Trump will enter his third year as president unbound - at war with his perceived enemies, determined to follow through on the hard-line promises of his insurgent campaign and fearful of any cleavage in his political coalition.
So far, the result has been disarray. The federal government is shut down. Stock markets are in free fall. Foreign allies are voicing alarm. Hostile powers such as Russia are cheering. And Republican lawmakers once afraid of crossing this president are now openly critical. Trump is surrounding himself with 'yes' men and women - at least relative to Mattis and other former military generals who tried to keep him at bay - who see their jobs as executing his vision, even when they disagree.

For two years, U.S. Defense Secretary #JimMattis has been urging nervous #NATO counterparts to judge the #Trumpadministration by its actions and not by the president's tweets or off-the-cuff remarks. But on Thursday, President Donald Trump posted a tweet the Europeans couldn't ignore: an announcement that the four-star general would soon be leaving the Pentagon. It has shocked #America's traditional allies, who like Mattis are eager to preserve the U.S.-European alliance. In the Marine general they had a partner they trusted and who they believed helped temper an unpredictable U.S. leader.
U.S. relations with #Europe are at their lowest ebb in the history of NATO after a series of acrimonious encounters between #Trump and European leaders. His episodic outspoken criticism of NATO allies has echoed across the continent. Earlier this year, Trump suggested he might cut U.S. force levels in Europe if the allies didn't boost their #military spending.

With the angry departure of Defense Secretary #JimMattis, the #UnitedStates and its shaken allies are about to discover the true meaning of 'America First.' Mr. Mattis, a retired 4-star general, prided himself on spending 4 decades preparing for war while nurturing the alliances needed to prevent conflict. He was more than the competent grown-up in the Situation Room, quelling talk of unilateral strikes against North Korea. In fact, he was the last senior official in the administration deeply invested in the world order that the United States has led for the 73 years since World War II, and the global footprint needed to keep that order together.
Now President #Trump appears determined to assemble a new team of advisers who will not tell him what he cannot do, but rather embrace his vision of a powerful #America that will amass a #military that will enforce national sovereignty and bolster American deal-making - but not spend time nurturing the alliance relationships that Mr. Mattis, in a remarkable resignation letter, makes clear are at the core of American power.

SAYS Who indeed... Realistically as in Absolutely!! 😎
#USDefense Secretary #JimMattis abruptly said he was quitting on Thursday (Dec 20) after falling out with President Donald #Trump over his foreign policies, one day after Trump rebuffed top advisers and decided to pull all U.S. troops out of Syria. Mattis announced plans to resign in a candid resignation letter to Trump that laid bare the growing divide between them, and implicitly criticized Trump’s disregard for #America’s closest allies.
Mattis, a retired Marine general whose embrace of #NATO and #America’s traditional alliances often put him at odds with Trump, had advised against the Syria withdrawal. The news is certain to shock #USmilitary allies, already bewildered by what they see as Trump’s unpredictable, go-it-alone approach to global security, and raises questions about whether Mattis’ successor will be as steadfast about traditional treaty commitments, including to NATO.

Cheeto Without Rein
For Washington’s #nationalsecurity community and overseas allies, the departure of U.S. Defense Secretary #JimMattis is a nasty surprise. President Donald #Trump started 2018 with a triumvirate of respected current and former generals seen as central to restraining his wilder #foreignpolicy instincts. Now that constraint will soon be gone, leaving U.S. #internationalrelations hugely less predictable.
It began earlier this year with the ousters of national security adviser Lieutenant General #HRMcMaster and Secretary of State #RexTillerson and continued this month with the announced departures of #WhiteHouse Chief of Staff #JohnKelly and now Mattis. All four individuals were seen as moderating influences on Trump on issues like potential strikes on North Korea or U.S. military support for NATO and Asian allies. By the end of February, all will have departed - with replacements such as conservative national security adviser #JohnBolton seen as much more willing to follow Trump’s direction.

Defense Secretary #JimMattis is stepping down from his post, President Donald Trump announced Thursday, after the retired Marine general clashed with the president over a troop drawdown in #Syria and Trump’s go-it-alone stance in world affairs.
Mattis, perhaps the most respected foreign policy official in Trump’s administration, will leave by the end of February after two tumultuous years struggling to soften and moderate the president’s hardline and sometimes abruptly changing policies.
The announcement came a day after Trump surprised US allies and members of Congress by announcing the withdrawal of all US troops from Syria, and as he continues to consider shrinking the American deployment in #Afghanistan.
