Erdogan’s threat to send fleeing refugees to Europe sorta lines up with Trumps statement that Isis fighters would “escape to Europe”.

Oh, good morning!

Trump gives Turkey green light to go after our allies the Kurds.
Trump gives Russia green light to fill vacuum we leave behind.
Turkey threatens everyone with human rights crisis if they carry out the expected ethnic cleansing of the Kurds.

Trump is furthering Putin’s agenda in one fell swoop - NATO chaos, EU chaos, Turkey shifts orbit even closer to Russia, and Trump panders to his white nationalist isolationist base even further.
