Pence & Pompeo head to #Turkey to meet with Erdogan, after Trump’s surrender of #Syria, betrayal of allies, & insanely inane letter. (Then Erdogan heads to #Russia to meet with Putin, director of this farcical tragedy.)
🤯How humiliating >> Erdogan initially refused to meet Pence & Pompeo, headed to Turkey now. He relented but scheduled a pointedly brief meeting. Erdogan meets Putin in Moscow on Tuesday—so #Russia can carve up #Syria—Trump’s “strategically brilliant” move thetimes.co.uk/article/putin-…
😬“Thank you for seeing us”—Pence says sheepishly to Erdogan, who grunts & glares at him. (Pompeo may not want to pose for pix after this photo-op in which Erdogan rubs Pence’s nose in Trump’s humiliating incompetence in Syria.) Oof that handshake 🤝🥶

💥Top Diplomat in Ukraine Testifies to Direct Link Between Military Aid & Investigations. Amb Taylor described the quid pro quo “in excruciating detail”—Trump held aid & refused WH meeting til Zelensky opened investigations into Dem rivals. #Impeachment nytimes.com/2019/10/22/us/…
🔥Read Amb Taylor's opening statement. It's both gripping & heartening to see a State Dept professional lay out #Ukraine's strategic importance for the US & the world. Makes Trump exploiting U's vulnerability to #Russia particularly egregious. washingtonpost.com/context/openin… #Impeachment
Taylor set the stage for his damning testimony by explaining Ukraine's strategic importance, in 3 main points.

1. Ukraine is a strategic partner of the US, important for our national security & Europe's.
2. Ukraine is and has been under armed attack from Russia for 5 years.

#Russia is about to carve up #Syria. Watch an almost giddy #Putin welcome #Erdogan to Moscow today. He does that hand hug thing, putting his other hand on their very warm handshake, and says what I think is “you bring good weather.” They chuckle.
What a difference a few days make when America is compromised by a corrupt & incompetent dictator wannabe POTUS. Compare Putin-Erdogan handshake in Russia to Pence-Erdogan handshake in Turkey. It's hard to even grasp what hell Trump has unleashed on the Kurds, Syria, & the world.
😨“Operation Peace Spring”—How perfectly Orwellian🙃propaganda-speak. That’s what #Erdogan has codenamed #Turkey’s offensive in #Syria, which has slaughtered and displaced the Kurds & democratic SDF forces, with clear echoes of ethnic cleansing and war crimes. #Russia #Putin

😤This pumped me up with hope today: Republicans are exhausted having to defend Trump’s indefensible bullshit day in & day out. (@mattklewis on @ReliableSources)

Trump counts on exhausting democracy’s defenders. (Lord knows he has!) But the exhaustion goes the other way too.
@mattklewis @ReliableSources 💯The Bullshit You Have to Believe to Be a Republican in 2019: It requires gaslighting yourself. Just like Soviets, adhering to Trumpian dogma requires Jedi mind tricks to match what you’ve always believed to the latest propaganda, 🔥from @mattklewis thedailybeast.com/the-bullshit-y…
@mattklewis @ReliableSources It's good to see people after, what, like 4 years now?, FINALLY use appropriate language for this Orwellian nightmare Trump, Republicans & Putin have mired America in. I've been squawking like a chicken w/o a head about the Soviet Republicans forever. Hopefully it's not too late.

#Turkey #Syria Op: Tomorrow is “The” Day-#Erdogan will meet #Russia’s #Putin In #Sochi. After the meeting with #Pence in #Turkey last week, this coming meeting will put the “final-Final” touch on #Syria Op. Stay Tuned for my Analyses & Predictions.- - - nationalpost.com/pmn/news-pmn/p…
Just remember, #Russia & #USA are coordinating and cooperating on #Syria. #Turkey’s hope: To Get From #Russia What it couldn’t get from #USA. I’m afraid, it won’t happen. Actually, Russia’s offer on Turkey #SafeZone will be far less, far more limited than Now-Canned US Offer.
Iran warns #Turkey & says establishing military post in #Syria will be unacceptable not only to Iran, but “Other” countries as well. By “Other Countries” #Iran meant #Russia.

Having a good time with #NewYearsEve?
Let me ruin it with this map of the military situation in Eastern Europe, which shows us:

1) #Russia's massive military buildup vs. #Ukraine & #Europe: 33x brigades & 35x regiments. (@USarmy in total: 31x brigades & 7x regiments/groups)

1/7
2) If #Russia annexes #Belarus, then #Putin will forward deploy his tanks to #Poland's border & the doorstep of #Lithuania's capital #Vilnius. He will also threaten #Ukraine's capital #Kyiv from the #North and it will be easy for Russian troops to close the #Suwalki Gap.

2/7
3) #Poland's best brigades are based near #Germany. They must move East to protect #Warsaw & be an operational reserve to come to the aid of #Lithuania. Poland also needs more tanks; & modern attack helicopters, infantry fighting vehicles, fighters, guided missile artillery.

3/7
