turkey is at the white house, yesterday. and that relationship is weird and inexplicable enough. but when trump does erdogan this favor, right, and precipitously pulls u.s. troops out of north eastern syria, he does it, the immediate result is that turkey and russia come in to take over that land that our allies and u.s. special forces had been holding in north eastern syria. the u.s. base there -- literally the american base there now has the russian flag flying over it. and russian soldiers are now using that base. and russian soldiers are now patrolling that part of the country where u.s. troops and u.s. allies were removed by president trump's actions. we're out, here putin you can have it. turkey has also just bought anti-aircraft weapons. it is a crisis for nato. i mean, not to get into the technicalities of it. but having a nato member operating a sophisticated russian anti-aircraft missile system like this potentially exposes the most secret u.s. fighter jet technology to the russians. thanks, turkey. thanks for doing that. republican senators who were upset by that and who are upset by the turkish military attacking our allies in syria, president trump weighed in during th
