this is pretty on point. trump remains an overwhelming favorite not to be removed from office but i'm not sure there is anything he could be doing to make it more likely short of personally literally murdering republican senators that he is not already doing

You still haven't responded to anyone stating that Turkey being a part of NATO fundamentally disproves your dogshit argument and instead have pivoted to trying to claim victory through sick memes (that were deployed by a driveby shitposter that also fundamentally and obviously doesn't understand what's happening). Very smart, very wise.
Is this the part where you wargame Dardenelles 2: Erdogan Boogaloo?

Nobody is going to start a war with Turkey over anything they do in Syria. Most of NATO is militarily irrelevant and the EU would probably go full fascist if the refugee situation got any worse.

Our presence in northern Syria was never humanitarian or motivated by the well being of the Kurds. It's a weird twist that in this one instance our imperial policy lined up with the continued existence of a semi-anarchist mini-state.

The military rank and file really like the kurds because they're loyal allies and insanely good fighters. Much like how the rank and file really liked the Iranian National Guard who helped coordinate our missions in the early days of the invasion of Afghanistan.

Shame about the politicians.

This is just an impulsive move to distract from everything that’s going on. Either that or Erodgan realized that Trump was vulnerable and threatened Trump’s businesses in Turkey / Trump Tower and immediately got concessions.

I'm so sick of people going on about "distractions". They aren't loving distractions. He's just a goddamn idiot. It's probably a cheap grift with a business. Generally if someone is trying to distract from something they do something less bad. Like Bush Jr steals an election so he gives everyone in the country 300 bucks. That works. Being threatened with impeachment and deciding to make a foreign policy decision that pisses off everyone isn't really a distraction, it's just doing another dumb terrible thing.

If I am on the run from the cops for robbing a 7-11 and run into a bank as I'm being chased to rob them it's not a "distraction" it's just me making poor decisions.

Erdogan didn’t make plans to push forward until Trump announced he’d pull troops out. It was clearly actually working as a deterrent, I don’t know why you keep pulling out hypotheticals and comparisons like they change that in any way. Erdogan didn’t “call our bluff”, Trump removed the bluff entirely.

The great thing about the thousands of slaughtered Palestinian children is that they can't pull away when you fondle them or sniff their hair.

That's a Biden success story.

Ehhhh, that's not an A -> B through line. There's a whole host of reasons as to how the US became the Great Satan to some of the Mujahideen in the greater Middle East, and withdrawing support post Afghan war is really low on that list.

It was because in the wake of the retaking of Kuwait in the first Gulf War we left troops stationed in Saudi Arabia, that was what turned OBL against us. The idea of infidel troops in the holy land is what pissed him and the Wahabists off. Our screwing the Palestinians was also used to drum up anger against us but it was mainly the troops in Mecca thing that they really cared about. They didn't give a poo poo about what the Shia in Iran thought about us as they hated them long before they got mad at us.

He might show a modicum of concern for the 100,000 Christians in the area, at least. The exact same people fundamentalists pull out every time they want to tell people how persecuted Christians are, and the great godly president is about to let them all be slaughtered.

I realize we're breaking through norms non-stop these days, but loudly threatening to destroy a NATO (ostensible) ally's economy if they violate some secret undefined criteria seems like a different level of transgression.
