Its difficult to conceive over a more complicated situation than the one we have where the Syrian Government. You know which the this administration as as well as the previous one has really fight theyve called for an ounce there of president assad and because of his actions trump has cleared the way for the Syrian Government and the russian auspices to work out a deal with the syrian kurds and through to all the syria and now hes very late in the day hes. Announcing some sanctions which are going to have absolutely no effect whatsoever on the turkish government and to compound the error hes sending rice president pence to encourage where hes sure to come in for a very difficult a series of negotiations its Mission Impossible the turks will react with scorn and its a total misunderstanding of the turkish psyche when you listen to the president out on statements youve carried a portion of it as well as the kind of coverage you know very jingoistic picture out of coverage wall to wall 24 hours a day on the turkish t.
