America's Modern-Day Pilate tries - in vain - to wash his hands of the noble Kurds, his/their erstwhile most loyal of (Middle East) allies...and in the process gives Unmistakable Evidence of his utter unfitness for any position of leadership, much less that of the world's most powerful political office...-but pray tell me, where are *all the others coming in to fill the vacuum? Indeed, Nowhere to be Seen!

Part Two:

Rarely is a political decision as obviously fraught with such a combo of unenviable characteristics. Indeed it would be rather hard for anyone to argue that President Trump's latest 'move' - to precipitately remove all remaining U S troops from Syria asap - is not one of those decisions, and does not contain pretty well all the elements of such seriously questionable decision-making, i.e.

#sickening shamefulness in unusual unison with sheer shamelessness

#treasonous treatment of those deserving quite the reverse, worthy of the uttermost loyalty and support

#short-sighted, short term-oriented 'action' with deeply disturbing long-range repercussions

#effective acquiescence in the ethnic cleansing of a people who have already suffered far more than **their share of systemic, systematic suffering at the hands of genocidal madmen

#and, moreover, then as now effectively aided and abetted by a nation whose solemnly proffered word and commitment has been regularly violated and impeached

#whilst the particular 'actor' involved simultaneously, immediately moves to bolster military support to its reprehensible Saudi ally, itself engaged - again, alongside the selfsame United States - in perpetrating war crimes upon and against a relatively helpless little nation and one of its ethnicities in particular

#while being exposed as all bluff and bluster in threatening virtual Armaggeddon against the Turks should they go ahead and commit the very thing it is presently going all out to undertake

*now belatedly - as the storm of international outrage and indignation grows apace - offering piecemeal, belated, halfhearted and wholly inadequate measures (sanctions etc) to seek to somehow ameliorate the same

#whilst having the unbelievable nerve and 'credulousness' to then claim it hadn't effectively given the 'green light' to Turkey to go ahead with exactly the sort of military adventure they've been in all too eager haste to undertake

#as well as having the sheer gall to suggest that their belated and tame gesture of reimposing stricter sanctions upon Turkey could somehow help the Kurds in defending themselves from their aggression

Sheer stupidity - senselessness - surrealism - shamefulness - shamelessness - treason/treachery - collusion with evil - callousness, cruelty - aiding and abetting evil, and that of the most reprehensible variety, effective ethnic cleansing/genocide...

these are just a sample of the sorts of things Trump has implicated himself in with this injudicious act of sabotage and of stabbing America's most valiant and courageous Middle Eastern ally in the back... 

For the very person who has made his global debut and cut his political teeth in accusing foreign (Middle-Eastern) nationals of bringing terrorism to America's shores...

...to thereby effectively enable a multitude of Sissii Internationale captives to holus-bolus go free... and even enable them - as he himself has openly admitted - to thereby return to and terrorize Europe

...is utterly beyond words - or even contemplation...

Move aside 'Dubya' -and indeed his much-ignored Dad, President George Bush Senior- Donald is busily vying to join you as a war criminal of the very first - I mean, worst - order...

...and may he reap precisely what he is now busily sowing...but sadly, so will his/our world!

*Such as, just for starters, the likes of the (usually loquacious) United Nations, the **European Union etcetera etcetera etcetera

**Though admittedly apparently ***"all 27" members thereof have unsparingly condemned Turkey's aggression...

***Except, of course, newbie European nation Turkey, although the BBC report I heard did indeed specify all the 27 members thereof...
