Just a thought that popped into my head this morning. Could the decision to allow Turkey to invade Syria be a message to President Zelensky ? With Russia massing troops in the areas of Ukraine it already controls and the US indicating it will standby and let an autocratic country like Turkey do whatever it wants to some of our best and most reliable allies, why would Ukraine take any chances of offending our nutjob President ?
So, Zelensky comes out this morning saying there was never any blackmail or extortion from the United States. Of course he would say that, with the Russians breathing down his neck and the Kurds being slaughtered.
It is sickening to see an American president treating honorable allies as pawns like this. It is also disgusting to see an American president coordinating with Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan for such purposes. People are dying because of this. I am sure John McCain is rolling over in his grave.
I am ashamed of my country today. First time in the 63 years I have walked on this earth.
