    • The worst thing about T rump’s impulsive Commander in Chief mode in this case is the Betrayal of the Kurds.  But they might survive extermination by the Turks, since they (the Kurds) have now sought alliance with Assad and the Russians.  That was however a humiliating decision in itself, for the Kurds, since they have been abused by Assad before.  The worse news is that our most effective anti-ISIS ally is now allied with Russia and thinks that we are cowards and scum.
    • The next worse thing is that ISIS will be reforming its Caliphate.
    •  Putting everyone in the world and their dogs on sanctions and tariffs and such, all at the same time, is going to catch up with the world economy at some point.  So sanctions on Turkey, which won’t even have much impact for months, is just another T rump boondoggle.
