I'm not a big fan of coincidences. Here's one I'm not buying. Trump and his Erdogan bagman Tom Barrack moved all our forces out of Syria just in time to put them in an Iranian bull's eye in Iraq. Did the Israeli intel get to Erdogan? Was it shared with Barrack?

James Jeffrey is too close to Turkey that allies with Jihadists to trust with the lives of Kurds, Yazidis and Christians in Syria
James Jeffrey’s Connections to Turkey: A Structured Assessment Jeffrey’s relationship with Turkey is not incidental—it is a defining feature of his diplomatic career and his Syria policy worldview. His own testimony reinforces several of these patterns. 1. Career Background: Deep Institutional Ties to Turkey Jeffrey’s résumé includes: U.S. Ambassador to Turkey (2008–2010) This role placed him at the center of U.S.–Turkey military and intelligence coordination during the Iraq War drawdown and early Syria unrest.

1/ Why did Putin need Zelensky to go to Palm Beach? Because Russia is in trouble. Russia’s rail network — the core of its national logistics — is failing across capacity, staffing, infrastructure, and security. These are systemic, not isolated, breakdowns.
