In other news of avowed Trump toadies reverting to form, Lindsey Graham, who has actually been criticizing Trump for once over the Syria pull-out, has decided that now that Trump is making war sounds on Twitter about putting sanctions on Turkey (which Graham and Cheney both support), everything is obviously OK, because Trump is so well known for writing checks his ass can cash and not caving at the last minute when a dictator tells him he's pretty.

We are going to send a signal to Turkey that is unmistakable in the eyes of Erdogan and the world and we're going to break his economy until he stops the bloodshed.

This will surely satisfy all the Kurds who die waiting for us to pass sanctions or waiting for them to gain a result from Erdogan. Or will this be like Crimea where we put economic sanctions on but otherwise just recognize the land grab?

All of it is horrible. Trump doesn't listen to anyone but even he could have seen this coming. Sanctions have done exactly zero for America because it's actually hurting Americans. Why the hell would any country get behind America at this point?
