1. This gets at something important. The slaughter of the Kurds, when it happens, will not be due to a policy of general withdrawal but because Trump specifically green lit Erdogan's plans. It's one of Trump's notorious deals.https://twitter.com/fmkaplan/status/1182002182591303681 …

2. Let's repeat. Trump green lit Turkey's invasion of Syria, knowing full well it would seal the fate of Kurds in that region. This is why those on the anti-imperialist left who welcome this are being delusional.

Would that be Jacobin? Because it sounds like something I'd expect from Jacobin.

Michael Tracey? I don't see him as having anti-imperialist creds of any validity.

I'd asked Jeet if it was Jacobin being shitty about "imperialism" He said no and provided proof. Best I can figure he was actually citing Tracey.

Not just Tracey. There's a small but vocal contingent of leftists who take these positions. Isn't hard to find out who they are.
