Trump, Turkey, and the service to Russia

News just broke, as the graphic to this piece indicates.

The Trump "administration" has imposed "punishing" sanctions on Turkey to penalize it for its incursion against the Syrian Kurds.

As I just tweeted out, let's look at the particulars.

Donald Trump is imposing these "punishing" sanctions on Turkey, a NATO ally, for its ethnic cleansing campaign against the Kurds.

This is something he wouldn't have had to do had he not been rolled by Turkish president Reccep Tayyip Erdogan.

By doing so, he's weakening, possibly to destruction, the underpinnings of the Western alliance.

Trump initiated these actions not out of concern for Trump Tower Istanbul. This was a directive from his case officer, Russian president Vladimir Putin. Everything Trump has done over the past two weeks benefits Putin and Russia to the detriment of the West. Trump is now what he has always been: an out and out traitor, betraying American national interests in the service of his master.

Forget impeachment. Or I should say, impeachment and removal are only the first two steps. Then Trump, his children, and everyone in his regime must be brought up on treason charges. 

The Founders put the natural-born citizen requirement into the Constitution out of a fear of foreign subversion of the Republic. What we now see is that, in the modern era, that's not enough. Trump is a bought and paid for agent of a foreign power. Everything he has done over the past two weeks has been to benefit Putin and his career-long intention of undermining the West. There can be no doubt that Trump is a traitor. We have the evidence of our own eyes by which to judge.

Trump is a traitor and a coward, from a family of traitors and cowards. No one in his family, before him or after him, has sacrificed anything for this country. No one in his family believes in the principles upon which this country is founded. They care only for their own selfish desires. They must get condemned, as Roman traitors, to a damnatio memoriae, their deeds consigned to eternal damnation.

This republic will not survive if we coddle traitors, as we did after 1865. They must be purged and forced to suffer the consequences of their actions. It will be cold comfort to the Kurds, but it might serve as a signal lesson to enemies who attempt to interfere in our affairs in the future, as well as to their lackeys in this country.
