Rumors of War - Doomed Damascus

United States imposes sanctions on Turkey; Erdogan calls for NATO help in Syria
UPI reports: "U.S. President Donald Trump imposed new sanctions against Turkish officials for their role in the country's military operation in Syria. [...] Nations in the European Union agreed Monday to halt exporting weapons to Turkey, saying they undermine stability and security in the region and hinders the Syrian peace process."

Comment: I'm not sure what to make of this. Trump withdrew to allow an Turkish invasion and now seems angry that the invasion happened? He has zero credibility and his leverage looks like sour grapes.
