Opinion | Trump Can’t Afford to Go Soft on TurkeyOpinion: President Trump lambastes allies who fail to pull their weight. Turkey tops that list, relying on U.S. beneficence while undermining U.S. interests, write Eric Edelman and JSchanzer. JSchanzer The US is unappreciative of Turkey. The US is financing and arming what the US considers a terrorist organization PKK. That's a fact! Most importantly, look how the West behaved while the coup is happening July of 2016; no one condemned it. The US takes it allies for granted JSchanzer On the bright side, trump has been so belligerent and hostile to every country that used to be our friends that we probably don’t have any real allies left. That should help a lot when we go to war with Iran. JSchanzer Rudy’s clients? MeK.
