    If we had a functional US government, today committed diplomats & senior officials would be holding emergency meetings, calling international counterparts, and working to try to prevent a massacre in Sudan. Has this government even issued a pro forma statement of concern?

        Trump probably thinks Sudan is a luxury car.

        Trump knows Sudan is not a white country. And Indonesia is majority Moslem. So why offer any assistance?

        Just checked, it did not. I am willing to bet that Trump hasn’t gotten and/or read a brief on Sudan yet

        No. Nor have we volunteered any assistance to Indonesia as far as I can tell.

        Likewise with what is developing in Ukraine. Russian media claiming US & Ukraine preparing for war with chemical weapons at Russia border. If Russia strikes & is not repelled there, the likelihood of attack on Estonia will increase, IMHO.

        This is one of my greatest concerns with this administration. Despots the world over the world know he's not watching and likely wouldn't do anything anyways.

        How about a comment on exchanged missiles between Israel and Syria? Russian propaganda releases on supposed Ukrainian intent to use chemical weapons? Poised retaliation of Turkey against our allies the Kurds?

        Well, they didn't do much to prevent a massacre in #Gaza. And in that particular case, they control the purse strings of the killers.

        The problem is obvious - we no longer have a functioning government. This is what happens when we allow @GOP to run things.

        Doubtful any of them can see that far past the end of their own noses. This is a government of NPD.

        Tl;dr- *"Poorly executed" US sanctions helped the Sudan regime rather than hurt it. Now the poor are left in the rubble without any global support --> b/c US sanctions were* (see above).

        What does #Foreign Policy look like for USA? Now that USA is pulling out of Syria, surely #POTUS et al have no interest that #Sudan’s Bashir visited with #Syria’s Assad last week. Water always seeks it’s own level...#Assad #Bashir #Putin #Erdogan #SudanUprising #SudanProtests
