24 hours since the earthquake hit Turkey, which killed thousands and injured tens of thousands... felt in a dozen cities and effected ~15-20 million people..
Turkish Pres Erdogan, famous for his micromanagement of things, has not made any appearance.

I don't think I ever saw this in previous calamities: Turkish foreign missions and Turkish government affiliated orgs in foreign countries asking for money for #TurkeyEarthquake

Sec State Nominee Blinken calls Turkey 'so-called strategic partner' | @ahval_en ahvalnews-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/ahvalnews.…

Blinken said they will "see if more needs to be done" with regards to the CAATSA sanctions that were already imposed on Turkey in December by the U.S. State Department. @ahval_en Senator @SenatorMenendez talks about “destablizing” actions of Turkey in Syria, Cyprus, EEZ, support for Azeri engagement re Nagorno-Karabakh… More lawyers & journos jailed in Turkey than any other countries. Are we cleared eyed about Erdogan?
Blinken: We are very clear eyed ++
