Sanctions are designed to extract meaningful concessions by applying pressure over time, not as a punishment. What’s the concession here? Is Turkey going to resurrect the Kurds it has killed? Recapture liberated ISIS? Could actually embolden Turkey by letting Hill feel good.

A video depicting a macabre scene of a fake Trump shooting, stabbing and brutally assaulting members of the news media and his political opponents was shown at a conference for his supporters at his Miami resort last week, according to footage obtained by The New York Times. | The video, which includes the logo for Mr. Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign, comprises a series of internet memes. The most violent clip shows Mr. Trump’s head superimposed on the body of a man opening fire inside the “Church of Fake News” on parishioners who have the faces of his critics or the logos of media organizations superimposed on their bodies. It appears to be an edited scene of a church massacre from the 2014 dark comedy film “Kingsman: The Secret Service.”

Retired U.S. Navy Admiral and former NATO Supreme Commander James Stavridis warns Trump's Syria withdrawal 'will absolutely' allow ISIS to reform. Stavridis previously had pointed out that intelligence reports show 20,000 to 30,000 ISIS fighters had simply "melted away" and remained in the region.

It's Trumpian: he tells someone to say something, then repeats the statement as if it is an independent utterance of fact confirming his position. Kind of like how he says something to Fox News, Fox News repeats it, he hears Fox News repeat it, and then says, 'See? Many people are saying it!' It's the circle of bullshit.
