    Tulsi Gabbard has extensive, financial ties with Hindu Right extremist groups. , listen up, if you would not accept someone with white supremacist ties running on your ticket, you should not accept Gabbard either.

    What strikes me about this tweet is the number of baked in assertions/assumptions far outside the author's domain expertise.

    The donors to the charters schools may be rich, but their interest in this issue is philanthropic, making it quite different than an interest group protecting its own income.

    Brilliant idea. At the end, the winner "sees it all"...

    I want someone to design a board game called "Büyük Oyun". Based, of course, on Turkish domestic and international politics.

    Still wondering:

    Assuming Turkey will need a very big bailout next year: 1) Who other than the IMF could pay? 2) How would RTE accept the conditionality on transparency & governance required?…

    I recall after the Brunson issue was resolved some people warning it might give Trump a dangerous faith in his ability to wield economic leverage over Turkey

    Especially because it is so tragically fragile right now, due to its government's egregious economic mismanagement, authoritarianism, and cronyism.

    'Diplomacy', in front of millions, on social media. 2019 is great.

    Mr It is a fatal mistake to equate Syrian Kurds with the PKK, which is on the US terrorists list, and its Syria branch PYD/YPG. Turkey fights against terrorists, not Kurds. We will protect Kurds and other Syrians against all terrorist threats.

    All the parties have moved on. No one has much interest in resolving the dispute because it isn't hurting anyone other than passengers on Qatar Airways whose flights are longer because of closed airspace.

    Pompeo offers some rare pessimism about the status of the Saudi-Qatar rift in a meet-and-greet with US diplomats in Doha. It's "not at all clear that the rift is any closer to being resolved today as it was yesterday and I regret that."
