Germany, a NATO member, has halted arms exports to Turkey, another NATO ally, due to Syria op.

It's getting pretty messy in here.
Netherlands too. Also Sweden, which is pushing for an EU-wide ban.
And Norway and Finland.

My kingdom for a frickin' debate moderator that will ask -- on day we've turned American assets used to stabilize Syria over to f***ing destabilizing Russian mercs -- about the death of the free world and America's role in it.

I mean for real.
Or maybe they want to ask if the "gender fluid illegals crossing border twice" from Succession propaganda are real. I mean come on. Come on.
Let's ask about the things THAT PRESIDENTS CAN ACTUALLY DO

VPOTUS and APNSA off to Turkey for ??????!??

Maybe we'll get lucky and there will be an "administrative action function".
(Tweeps please watch Succession, already ;) )

Eating marvelous lunch in small family-run dive. News is on. The matron sighs, looks at me. "Do you mind if I turn on my ghost show?"

Nope. Same. 😂
They are now apologizing to the unseen angry spirits so they no longer haunt them -- do you think that would work on politics? Asking for a friend.
"Real American" contractor type at table next to me: "I tell you, graft is the one thing in Washington that is truly bipartisan." They all laugh.

Reminder, Turkey is the 2nd largest member of NATO and has been a member since 1957. This predates Erdogan's government. One of the main objectives for the Russian state is to break-up NATO.

The current crisis in N.E. Syria aims to remove Turkey and flip it towards Russia.
This thread will monitor any NATO related news or movements created in relation to the N.E. Syria invasion. And if Russia will succeed in breaking the alliance.
The U.S. Republicans, many of them linked to Russian assets, warn Turkey may be suspended from NATO. After the Russian asset Trump gave Erdogan the green light to invade N.E. Syria and establish an alleged safe zone alongside the Russian military. businessinsider.com/lindsey-graham…

Urging Calm Amidst Hysteria On #Turkey #Syria- 1- Without explicit green-light from #USA it will be a very limited (for show) maneuver; 2- This is being used here in #Turkey for temporary political gain (uniting the opposition with current admin); 3- #Russia also has put limits
Take in the macro picture (Forest instead of the trees): A major offensive by #Turkey is opposed by: #USA #Syria #Russia & #Iran. Only a brief limited muscle-flexing show is allowed. #GeopoliticalTheater
Here it is #Turkey “Still Preparing”. For the last 5 days, 1 minute they say “we are going in shortly, as in the next 24 hrs”, the next minute “we are preparing” or “we are waiting for XYZ ...”. The written on stone “Sep 30” deadline in #Syria expired 9 days and 11 hrs ago.

🔴 As we mark #HumanRightsDay, a devastating new @EURightsAgency Report on #Antisemitism in #Europe underscores how alarming situation has become.

You can read full report, most extensive in years, here: bit.ly/2Qovhjh

But thread below on some of these jarring figures:
@EURightsAgency @TimmermansEU @VeraJourova @kschnurbein @EUinIsrael @EGiaufretEU @IsraelinEU ➡️ 90% of Jews feel #Antisemitism has increased over past 5 years.

➡️ 89% of Jews think Antisemitism is most problematic on the internet & on social media.

➡️ 71% avoid Jewish symbols (e.g., kippah, Star of David, etc) in public things that could identify them as Jewish.

@EURightsAgency @TimmermansEU @VeraJourova @kschnurbein @EUinIsrael @EGiaufretEU @IsraelinEU ➡️ 85% of Jews consider #Antisemitism to be the biggest social or political problem in their home country;

Excellent write-up by J. Flores at FRN on Russia going along with western narrative over the IL-20 jet downed on Monday.
That French frigate Auvergne shot down the plane is a long shot, but #NATO wanting to sever #Russia–#France ties is nothing new. fort-russ.com/2018/09/full-a…
Summing up the facts that led to, and followed, the downing of a Russian IL-20 plane.

1/ #NATO has strongly opposed the #Idlib campaign from #Syria & #Russia, warning a response to a chemical attack and then – to secure an escalation – on any attack. maps.southfront.org/now-u-s-threat…
2/ One #NATO member also strongly opposed to the #Idlib campaign, but for all different reasons: #Turkey reinforced its backed rebels in Idlib with support (after striking out the #HTS on its books) and weapons.
