#Breaking Update: There is also a “Caveat” within this #Trump ExecutiveOrder for #TurkeySanction: It will NOT be implemented right away. It will be effective when #Trump gives the “Go”.

Maybe #Trump signed this to shut the hysterics (#LindseyGraham & #Democrats) Up & Preempted the Sanctions predated by #USCongress. It is important to keep in mind: The Sanctions won’t be implemented until and unless Trump gives them the “Go”. Think of it as “Dormant Sanctions”.

No casualties.

Just for the comparison purposes: Why didn’t we see anywhere near this Hysteria by #MSM when #SaudiArabia went on massacring thousands in #Yemen?! Just asking. #Turkey #Syria

See- two hours after my prediction it is confirmed now: With this executive order #Trump intends to preempt the #USCongress Sanctions on #Turkey over Syria.- - - “Intel: How Trump is trying to get ahead of Congress on Turkey sanctions” almon.co/39nx via @AlMonitor

Here’s my tweet from 2 hrs ago- See Screenshot Below

I think it is cute & funny how al-Monitor dubs this as “Intel”. We had it two hours ahead of them, and didn’t need “Intel Sources” to figure out/predict the sound strategy behind the move. But hey, Others need extra “Intel” to figure these things out😉

Despite clarification by both #Turkey & #USA officials #MSM continues spreading “Turkey shelling US base” headlines for one purpose only: Inflammatory Effect

Here is one comment from an exasperated #US Military Official (See Screenshot)
