Read Trump's ridiculous threat letter to the Turkish president
Donald Trump, nominally the President of the United States of America, recently withdrew U.S. troops from Kurdish-held lands and greenlit a Turkish invasion of same, at Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoan's request. As soon as the humiliations of this outcome became clear to Trump, we now learn, he began sending threats to Erdoan instead. Erdoan ignored them, began his attack, and now those formerly-American bases are occupied by Syrian and Russian forces called in by the desperate Kurds. The New York Times' Katie Rogers pointed out that she "felt the need to ask" the White House for confirmation that this letter is "real". It is.
