The enemy of my enemy is… still my enemy but sometimes our goals align.
Bolton has been frothing to hit Iran for decades and this Kurds/Syria hand-off to Russia benefits Iran. The icing on this asscake is Shithead ever trusting Bolton in the first place.
It has occurred to me that he could fire Yovanovitch and Kent to deny them their pensions. Civil service regs may protect them but Trump is nasty and afraid.
Bolton has never been a diplomatic sort, so perhaps I’m reading too much into this. But I find his use of aggressive phrases with violent criminal undertones like “drug deal”, “cooking up”, and “hand grenade” interesting. They’re common terms in the American vernacular these days -readily understood by most American - especially after popular shows like Breaking Bad and The Sopranos. I wonder if that was his intent.
Dunno…nasty, vindictive and insane as he is, even his lizard brain has to realize that repetition of certain types of behavior makes you vulnerable to those hunting you.
I like the part that says Impeach the Pres, the rest is bullshit of course, but when will he comment on this turn of events. Russia is playing him like a violin.
As the Middle East reels from President Trump’s erratic foreign policy, Russia is savoring a fresh chance to build its status as a resurgent world power and cast itself as a force for stability. The withdrawal of United States troops from northeastern Syria, coupled with Turkey’s incursion, is allowing Russia to play the part of responsible peacemaker and to present a contrast to what many in the region see as unstable leadership from Washington.
What really cracks me up about all this is that it’s yet another example of Trump having no fucking clue how Washington works. He’s used to being able to bully people into silence with his big mouth and big money. In the business world, he can be an absolute horse’s ass to underlings and few consequences would ever follow. He could treat anyone how he pleased because it’s not like they could do anything about it but leave. It’s a whole new ballgame in DC. They can destroy you.
Once you start seeing images of Kurdish refugees running for their lives, carrying babies, crying, being shot point blank by Syrians it’s awful and you realize djt has no idea and care less. You’ve probably also seen the BBC reporting, my added go to website, and what’s going on. Great and unmatched wisdom on view.
