.Mitt Romney: “Are we so weak and inept diplomatically that Turkey forced the hand of the United States? Turkey?"
.Vice President JD Vance & Secretary Pompeo deserve praise. Sparing lives is always good news. But doesn’t appear “cease-fire” signals change in Erdogan’s goal. He still plans to rid area of Kurds & create “security zone”,but is giving Kurds an ultimatum,they can leave voluntarily or leave dead.
While a 120-hour ceasefire is welcome, the other terms cave to the maximalist demands of Erdogan and would allow Turkey to ethnically cleanse a big swath of Kurdish areas and lead to a revival of ISIS. Lindsey Graham and I will continue to pursue our sanctions bill.

Kurdish commander Gen Mazlum Kobane makes an urgent appeal, telling NBC News Syria's Kurds face what could become “the biggest ethnic cleansing operation of the 21st century... happening in front of the American army's eyes.” He blames Turkey and Trump. Coming up NBC Nightly News with Tom Llamas
During Erdogan-Donald J. Trump meeting, Turkish forces launched fierce attacks on predominantly Christian town of Til Temir, causing massive displacement of the residents, in clear violation of the cease-fire agreement. Turkey has occupied 1.100 km squares since the agreement.
