If I can just drag you away from the Colleen Rooney thread just for a second, what do you think of this situation?
To me this seems like a typical 21st Century conflict. US, Russia and Iran looming in the background. Faceless, to us, people in the middle east dying.
Trump saying things "the Kurds didn't help us at Normandy", which makes all the other things he's ever said look quite sensible.
I have a view which I suspect won't be the majority view, that we can't expect Trump to protect the Kurds if we're not in the UK prepared to do it ourselves. Also by blaming Trump, and concentrating on the moronic comments, it reduced the blame form where it should go. To Erdogan.
