To the victors belong the spoils?

Reading Trump's letter to Nancy Pelosi,I came across this statement from Trump as some sort of acheivement: "recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights"..
~~I must have missed the news concerning the Golan Heights.

FACT: Israel seized the Golan Heights from Syria in the closing stages of the 1967 Six-Day War.. ~~That excuse was/is because the Golan Heights is mainly hills, those damn Arabs can attack from that elevated terrain with their artillery...
~~BTW in 2019 you don't need high country for artillery with weapons like these: "drones, cyber warfare, stealth technology,and long range accurate rockets" to attack a country..

I am appalled that our country supports the old adage: "to the victors belong the spoils"..
That does explain Trump's attitude about places like the Golan Heights,Crimea, and allowing Turkey & Russia to claim the northern section of Syria.

Trump said this on 11/4/2019: "But we did leave soldiers because we're keeping the oil”..
~~Whose oil is it and who is the "we" that's keeping it?

If Trump doesn't get removed from office he may decide buying Alaska from Russia was a bad deal and return Alaska to Russia in order to "renegotiate"...
