And What About That Other Phone Call?

     Donald Trump is currently under an impeachment investigation for a phone call he made subtly extorting the President of Ukraine to dig up dirt on his political rival in exchange for military aid.  A protection racket, as it were

​      But what about Trump's phone call last Sunday with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan,

...immediately following which Trump ordered American troops to be pulled back from the Northeastern Kurdish Syrian border? This sudden departure of American troops left the Kurds, whose Syrian Defense Forces fought ISIS for five years alongside American troops, at the mercy of Turkey, which had in recent months been pacing its border with Kurdish Syria like a cat preparing to pounce a mouse.
       Worse, the American military had convinced the  Syrian Defense Forces, despite the recent build-up of Turkish tanks and guns along the Syrian border, to dismantle their defense fortifications along the border starting in September, with the assurance that the United States and Turkey had agreed on a five mile demilitarized safe zone or "Peace Corridor" inside northeastern Syria to maintain security along the Turkish-Syrian border.
         Then came Donald Trump's  October 6 phone call with Erdogan, a call that will surely go down in infamy.  Hours after that phone call Trump called back American troops from Northeastern Syria and three days later Turkish  missiles were devastating Kurdish towns,

...while Turkish tanks rolled across the Syrian border,

...and our Kurdish allies realized they'd been betrayed.

     Erdogan has subsequently made no secret of his intention to cleanse Northeastern Syria of Kurds and to use the conquered land as a place to relocate the Syrian refugees who have poured into Turkey since the Syrian civil war.

          And so, considering the hundreds of thousands of already fleeing Kurdish men, women, and children who will be killed, maimed, orphaned, widowed, or displaced as a result of Trump's phone call with the President of Turkey,

...it would seem to me that Congress should likewise investigate what transpired in that phone call that propelled Donald Trump to commit such treachery against a loyal ally.

      After rolling over for Erdogan and giving Turkey carte blanche to invade Kurdish Syria, Trump tweeted the following:

     But even if Donald Trump had the power to destroy and obliterate the economy of Turkey he wouldn't do anything of the kind because he owns two luxury hotels in Istanbul of which he refused to divest himself of when he became President,

...which in and of itself should be grounds for impeachment.
