Today.

Tomorrow: "When you think about it, Cyprus* wasn't around at D-Day either! All those parachuters, shooting Germans, not one shooter from Cyprus. Not one. Or Lebanon, where they said 'No' to Trump Tower Beirut, no help from the Lebani-, those people."

*a former territory of the United Kingdom that gained independence in 1960

I wish I could find that funny, because it is. But my heart hurts right now.

I'm still remarkably angry. Suck it, outrage fatigue. It started on 9/26 with the WSJ report about eight requests to Zelensky. Things were cooling off for me until the Syria withdrawal announcement. I'm staunchly anti-war, but this was like 200 people tactically positioned to deter Erdogan's bullshit. Erdogan deserves far worse than the sanctions being proposed by Graham and Van Hollen today.
