On foreign policy matters, unlike on domestic policies, party differences in the US or those between liberals and the hard right are minor and tactical, never strategic. For this overall project of domination, West Asia/North Africa or the WANA region is key. The four legs of that stool are Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

Erdogan’s current quest to ban the pro-Kurdish Peoples Democratic Party (HDP) in Turkey itself has aroused US criticism but nothing more.
