The TSK is right on the border. As soon as they cross and create facts on the ground, its irreversible. With US troops already withdrawing, I dont see how anyone puts the genie back in the bottle now.

I suspect Erdogan understands Trump well enough to want things in a no takes backsies kind of position. Pentagon probably isn’t slow rolling this one because they don’t want to be there if Turkey is moving troops.

In all of this, has anyone in the House, Senate, or the candidates asked what did Erdogan offer to Trump to get him to invade Syria?

Honestly people it's not that complicated.

Look at what you're sitting on.

Is it a Dragon Throne?

Yes? Then you are fully mandated up and good to go.

Otherwise, you are unworthy and have lost the mandate, woe to your dynasty!

For whatever reason, I keep getting Trump ads and other super super super right wing Youtube ads despite being Incognito, but I don't think the messaging is on point for this one.

tbf trump literally doesn't know anything at all about foreign policy so it's not like he had even an inkling that everyone would call this 'dumber than nuking hurricanes'

IMO it says a lot about how Rs feel towards trump behind closed doors that he's getting this much public pushback instantly. The Kurd's specifically english language efforts to produce US-oriented propaganda paid off, but not this much.
