It's absolutely disgusting that GOP voters think it's a good thing for political leaders to have this sort of conflict of interest in international business dealings over careers in government service and policy. Trump has gone against all of his military and intelligence and most Republican advisors in throwing the Kurdish people to their deaths like this.
Turkey is not our ally just because we have 5000 Air Force personnel stationed at Incirlik air base. We have thousands of soldiers stationed in Saudi Arabia and Qatar and other countries who still financed terror against the US. Turkey has been buying a large portion of ISIS oil giving them money to fight against US soldiers in Syria and Iraq.
It's pretty sick that anyone would think the US should put Turkey's interests first over the Kurds.
