It should be easy for Tennessee to change the law. I mean, you can't make it up if you tried. Then again, they may change it to "southern," too. pic.twitter.com/gyCDoOWvpA

Also watch and follow what @aaronstein1 says. He's called it right better than anyone I know.

Yes, I heard that the gun was cocked, so now has the tigger been pulled? Not yet, from what I understand. twitter.com/rolltidebmz/st…

But if the administration delays sanctions Congress has passed or slow-rolls OSD's very firm desire to see Turkey leave F-35, I can bet you the already terrible war over sanctions here will escalate. Mostly words not actions, but some words are, in fact, actions.

I still wouldn't be surprised to see mixed US messaging, like a delay in sanctions that had more to do with process dressed up as diplomacy, or more POTUS-Erdogan freelancing. The US can kick Turkey out of the F-35 program without using a single statute passed by Congress.

This will get worse. The United States lost patience with Turkey even before this absolutely insane Turkish temper tantrum. That is quite something given where the US, and particularly Republicans, used to be in the Greece-Turkey split. That kind of feeling died long ago.

Not one single Turkish military officer of any skill, acumen or knowledge thinks S-400 fixes things in a capable or permanent way. If they aren't in prison, or out on release, they'd tell us that.

But the S-400 sale really did serious harm to any hopes we had that Turkey wasn't the annoying to damaging (and worse) erstwhile ally we watched develop from 2003 to today. So many times Turkey was the worst, most demanding and least cooperative party in the room.

I didn't agree with how the US handled the aftermath but this goes back before 2015. I didn't agree with withdrawing US assets from Turkey in the years before the airspace incursion. I can say more about US arms sales and missile defense cooperation with Turkey. twitter.com/ragipsoylu/sta…

We get the terminology, and to us, it's still a target one way or the other, whatever it's called.

But did he say it with or without his shirt cuff buttons undone? He never seemed to roll up his sleeves, only unbutton his cuffs, even when he put on jacket. It was an eccentricity I never saw in anyone else I ever met.

I haven't a strong objection except for the name. It sounds very suspicious. You know where you are with blueberries and strawberries. But lingonberries sound like "legion berries," which must have been some awful Napoleonic Wars-era disease.

This is a rather expansive definition of logistics. But if an army travels on its stomach, I suppose bread can fly.
