Even without the letter, the best, to-the-point, nonapologetic Realpolitik since Bismarck.

Trump just gives zero fricks.


About leverage. First he green-lights the incursion (Was he not aware of what would ensue?) with no deal in place and once he gets a lot of heat he tries to, first, tweet Turkey out of doing what they're doing and Turkey literally gives "zero fricks". Then he sends this comical "Let's work out a deal!" letter, on Oct 6....Here we are, Oct 16, and Erdogan still gives "zero fricks".

You have to give zero fricks about any facts to find this entire dromedy to be anything but a gigantic clusterfrick.

Why do you keep posting that gif of yourself? Just use the up/down vote mechanism if you can figure it out. Good luck little buddy.

So what is wrong with the letter? It isn't full of BS canned talking points.

Isn't it ironic that the people who support Trump on this issue want to pull out of the Middle East, no ifs ands or buts, but go all Rambo and threaten fire and brimstone if someone in the Middle East embarrasses Trump?

Ooof. Even for a leftist that's a bad moral equivalency.

So are we supposed to be outraged because the letter was weak and ineffective or because it was too strong?

I'm getting mixed signals here.

Yeah, I'm a leftist. Sure.

Your stubborn pride is going to cost a lot of American lives when we have to clean up this mess.

He's never once threatened military action. Every single possible action I've seen him discuss was economic in nature.
