DOState Spokesman: “Look Turkey is an ally obviously, a strong partner certainly with respect to ISIL and a friend. We support turkey’s aspirations to engage with Europe...” This is obvious BS. Erdogan is an autocrat, an Islamist, and a Muslim Brother of longstanding. He is, in sum, an untrustworthy partner. The EU has begun to jettison the idea of a Turkish membership, and it is time that NATO did the same. As for the USA, who in the hell knows what the State Department will do next!
All you said is true. It is undeniable.
However, T-Rex is runnning the Department of State. He does know what the situation is. He is NOT relying on the old State Department model. That is clear.
He in one swoop cleaned out the mahogany row on the 7th floor of the State Department. And I am sure more is to come to eliminate the Deep State treachery.
Never underestimate Rex Tillerson.
