“Politics stops at water’s edge” is a famous saying in 🇺🇸 foreign policy. Clearly this is NOT a principle for SYRIZA.

We can clear up whether this is deliberate or a failure on the party’s part to understand the #NoJetsForTurkey campaign: @TasouliAlexia is willing to host a conversation between me and whoever their “expert” on this campaign and Congress is.
