So when would be a good time to pass it? Turkey’s always important...
Yes, Turkey is always important.
Let’s piss them off when we don’t depend on them for various military or logisitical purposes that if successfully maintained will make it less likely that my relatives in the military will come home dead because of a chaotic situation with the Kurds up north, or because operations out of their facilities have been curtailed and we can’t get an airstrike on insurgents firing on our men.
I am an AMERICAN not an ARMENIAN. I am willing to forgo a bit of cultural revenge to keep our men safer, no matter how insignificant it seems.
And we all know the Armenians never forget, so it isn’t as if it will NEVER get done if we don’t do it now.
The crimes were done by agents of the Ottoman Empire, but this bill is a direct attempt at stopping the supply line to our troops.
