Romney raises a troubling theory about Trump and Turkey

A theory Sen. Mitt Romney pitched on the Senate Floor Thursday:

“It’s been … suggested that Turkey may have called America’s bluff, telling the president they are coming no matter what we did,” said Romney, of Utah. “If that’s so, we should know it. For it would tell us a great deal about how we should deal with Turkey, now and in the future.”

Romney then returned to the idea that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan might have given Trump an ultimatum that was met with acquiescence.

“Are we so weak and inept diplomatically that Turkey forced the hand of the United States of America? Turkey!?” Romney said. “I believe that it’s imperative that public hearings are held to answer these questions, and I hope the Senate is able to conduct those hearings next week.”

But here is a U.S. senator — and a Republican one — suggesting not just that Trump got out-negotiated, but that he basically got told what was going to happen and ran away. Romney is entertaining the idea that a relatively small country forced the hand of the United States and also dictated to the supposed Dealmaker-in-Chief.

Trump...the great negotiator that never was got rolled. It would be funny if it were not so pathetic.
 
Romney is an idiot. It's part of being a #neverTrump- look at this shit he mouths.
It's pure neocon trash laced with a dose of misunderstanding the forces on the ground

since when is a withdrawal to protect a very small force incapable of combat "running away"?

I swear the stupid is just getting stronger and stronger over Syria.

Oh please. The Americans on the ground with the Kurds were not fighting a war. Do you mimic everything that a moron like Trump instructs you to? And lest we forget...Cadet Bone Spurs took credit for getting rid of ISIS...didn't he?

He might be gearing up to primary Trump but who cares. I don't thin we need another Republican, especially one who believes corporations are people as this is the garbage that brought us here. Although, if Romney does primary Trump it would drive Trump up his beloved wall which would be fun to watch after all.
 
The question is: How might all of these events eventually benefit Russia?

Is Putin pulling the strings and for what long term strategic purpose?

NOTE: Any Trump worshipping sycophancy out of dukkhanoiseatta will be summarily dismissed out of hand as the mindless, truth-twisting, ass-licking bullshit we all know it will be.

I don't think he nor others are for perpetual war just because they oppose imposing more chaos on the ME & betraying allies........

Putin's strategic and tactics moves in Syria are to cement his power on his existing client state
Putin is the superpower in control of Syria

??? That was decided over 130 years ago, I don't see what that has to do w/ Romney, no more than his belief in Santa Claus or Kolob...
