Trump’s plan for Syrian civil war stalls after Risk board game runs out of pieces
WASHINGTON — A new plan touted by President Donald Trump to end the nearly six-year-long Syrian Civil War has reportedly stalled after the president and his staff realized they did not have enough different colors and pieces to represent all the different factions in the country, sources confirmed today.
“It’s a pretty ridiculous oversight for a strategy game that supposedly prides itself on realism,” said Michael Flynn, the president’s national security adviser.
Trump had planned to use a single colored army to represent “all the Syrians,” sources say, but he was apparently foiled once he realized there was no brown army. Instead, he began using blue for American forces, red for Russian, black for ISIS, gray for rebels, green for Turkey, and yellow for Kurds.
However, he realized there were not enough colors after the CIA presented a list of 12 former and current Al Qaeda affiliates that were also fighting inside the country, along with at least 30 other non-governmental tribes, armies, militias and terror groups.
