The Reason why Trump blocked US troops from helping the Kurds is to divert

[Blueplanet]

attention from his own domestic problems. No one is reporting on this! It's obvious. Please say it isn't so.

1. Plus it's what Putin wanted

[dewsgirl]

2. That's part of it. There is a book House of Trump House of Putin

By Craig Unger that explains it all. That and Seth Abramson's books/Twitter feed.

3. This is close to unthinkable,

but I've read some folks on twitter write that another, equally significant concern of his is a hotel in Turkey. What do you think?

[Blueplanet]

6. His Hotel could be a concern

But he has a scorched earth policy. If he thinks he is going down, he is going to try to take as many down with him as he can.

4. Husband and I were just speculating this - But it doesn't seem to be working

The Giuliani conspiracy deal is all over MSNBC, at least.

5. With this he quadrupled down on his problems

7. This is how Kompromat works

With Trump facing impeachment, Putin and Erdogan probably threatened to leak damaging information if he didn't toe the line. The evidence will be found in those top secret WH call transcripts, assuming they're not erased before Trump is forced to turn them over.

8. michael wolf said they kept of list of outrageous proposals/actions

that would change the headlines.

this one seems a little serious for that, tho.

9. Nonsense

What Trump did is 100% in line with the permanent bipartisan foreign policy.

Betraying the Kurds is an old tradition going back to Henry Kissinger.
