Turks don’t feel that they need to pay any attention to the US. There are no sanctions to be incurred by ignoring the US, says Larry Johnson, former CIA and State Department official. They are pursuing their own interests regardless of what Washington wants, he adds.
Pravda says Turkey is ignoring the US? Shocking.
What popped out at me was the statement "I think it has more to do with the fact that the US government called for Turkey to back off and leave the Kurds alone."
I don't remember that or understand how that could happen as Obama hates the Kurds and refused to help arm them because they are fighting the good fight.
Kurdistan has greatly been absorbed by Syria, Turkey and Iran.
Remember that Turkey refused to let US forces get to Iraq via their country back in the day.
