America is in a fever

The US House of Representatives has approved a package of sanctions against Turkey. The project involves the imposition of sanctions against those involved in the military operation “Source of Peace”. There is no rational explanation for this decision - continuous emotions. Congress freaked out, Trump did not seem to mind, since he himself had recently threatened with sanctions. However, with pretexts for sanctions, there is complete confusion, and each side in the growing American confrontation is trying to name its reasons, which have already entered a state of semantic cacophony.

And what, in fact, Turkey, having started this operation, did wrong from the American point of view? Illegally crossed the border of Syria? Well, who would be outraged about this, but not the Americans, illegally crossing any borders that they think fit, along and across. Hit the Kurds supported by the US? Well, they would have supported them further, defended them, protected them from the blow, would have covered them with all their American power. But no, the Americans simply left, leaving the Kurds (to whom they, which is already quite obvious, do not care) to the mercy of fate. The very Kurds who until recently fought with the Daesh, which is the most hated for the whole of America (alternative name IG *, which has a derogatory connotation. - RT ), which Trump “defeated” with the help of the Kurds (at least from his words).

Maybe there is a hidden logic here: the United States, on the contrary, put the Kurds (having retreated to a safe distance) under the blow of Turkey to get even with them because they fought too well with Daesh, previously created by the American globalists to displace Bashar al-Assad? And then the Turks did the right thing, that they entered Syria, which the globalists generally wanted to destroy as a state, and punished the Kurds, who too zealously destroyed the man-made Daesh. But this is bad luck - Trump was not warned about this (after all, they despise him and fight him), and therefore he was against the Turkish operation and is now not against sanctions against Turkey.

There are also all sorts of little things. The sanctions bill prohibits the sale of weapons to Turkey and at the same time introduces additional sanctions against Turkey in connection with the acquisition of S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems from Russia. That is, we will no longer sell American weapons to you, but we will not allow buying from Russia. And what, Turkey is now generally banned weapons? It is impossible neither American nor Russian?

The sanctions project also includes a ban on the supply of arms to Turkish forces in Syria. Who is this ban for? Maybe the Turkish Minister of Defense Hulusi Akar, who himself has come under personal sanctions and now will not supply the Turkish armed forces located in Syria, weapons from Turkey - if that didn’t work out: they say, “it’s not enough now, you see what’s going on "supplies were blocked, we are short of ourselves, deficit."

The US Foreign Ministry has already indicated the inconsistency and randomness of the US actions. An official statement published on the website of the Foreign Ministry of Turkey indicates that Turkey, for a minute, is a member of NATO. If anything. And to introduce restrictions on the supply of American weapons in relation to the NATO ally ... well, this is kind of "not in line with the spirit of NATO" - the statement of the Turkish Foreign Ministry says so softly. In addition, the sanctions introduced contradict the US-Turkish agreement on Syria, which, if someone forgot, was concluded on October 17, after which Turkey ceased its operation in Syria. Turkey has stopped, but sanctions have been imposed anyway.

Or maybe her, this logic? And do not look for it either in American decisions or in American actions. Moreover, she is not there.

America is in a fever, shakes and throws, pounds in convulsions, and we must treat this with understanding. The patient has agony, fever and delirium, but he continues to make decisions, impose sanctions and send troops anywhere.

Do not like it when they offend America by saying something offensive? Then let's try to reason rationally (at least grains of rationality remain in the same place). Then the whole point is that Trump is trying to fix the situation that he did not create, but the previous administration of the globalists - Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, who unleashed the war in Syria and tried to drag Turkey into its partition in order to eliminate the general existence of the Syrian state.

This is an old story that Trump inherited, and today he corrects the situation as best he can. On the one hand, he is trying to maintain a US presence in the region. And if he had not stopped the Turkish operation with the help of threats and blackmail Erdogan personally, then the Kurds would simply have switched to the side of Russia, having signed an agreement with the Syrian official authorities, completely surrendering to the Russian military presence.

True, they did so by concluding an agreement with Damascus. And now the Syrian authorities and the Russian military presence have established joint control over the north of Syria, as it should be within the law. But Turkey is still present in Syria. Trump would not have stopped the operation “Source of Peace”, and who knows ... Against Turkey then there would have been not just Kurds, but Kurds who had concluded an agreement with Damascus, behind which Russia was behind. Such a alignment would be beneficial to the American globalists - ultimately push Russia with Turkey. But Trump is disadvantageous: after all, it would be his (as the supreme commander in chief) troops between the Turkish hammer and the Russian-Syrian-Kurdish anvil.

Now, however, America has no place at all. The Americans left, and it was legal. Trump promised - Trump did: withdrew the troops. But it turned out to be a shame, the Democrats teased in Congress - and he sent troops back: they say, protect the deposits from these ... like them ... terrorists whom I (long ago) defeated. It turned out awkwardly and in violation of the law. But here the choice is already small: prestige or law (see above - America wanted to spit on the law).

As a result, everyone was offended. To Turkey. And the Democrats in Congress - because the Turks listened to Trump and did not get involved in a big conflict with Damascus and, accordingly, with Russia. And Trump - for having outlawed him, forcing him to first step out due to the operation launched by the Turks and then back in, but on a silly, far-fetched pretext, which everyone now blames him for.

In general, by imposing sanctions, the Americans simply settle accounts with Turkey, each compensating for their grievances. What about the excuse? As they could, they came up with it, picked up what turned up by the arm - in the American manner, as always. For the United States, the main thing is intervention, pressure, settling accounts, and there is a pretext.
