    That another medical facility bombed didn’t even make the headline is so telling. How is this not even a problem anymore?

      I feel like this micro-news-cycle and news fatigue thing is exactly what they’ve been counting on, seems like they legit think this will all eventually blow over. People will forget, get bored, or get distracted by something new…

      I also feel like the attention has been sustained longer than they would have liked but they’re so balls deep into murder that its too late for the pull out game

        Usually the US could just bully through for them. This time South Africa stood up. Erdogan has plenty of blood on his hands but also is a NATO country and stood up. The most interesting thing is how they felt so confident the US would squash anything, they said the quiet part out load and have made South Africa’s case very compelling.

          Not only did they say the quiet part, they went ahead and pulled the cloak from the dagger. Every statement and action seems to be in blatant disregard of public perception on the international level. Diplomatic and otherwise.

          I remember being utterly flabbergasted by how overtly things were happening when this all started. “The blood oath must be kept” was the best reason I had then.

          Thanks to the less bullyable entities you mentioned some definitive action might finally be taken.
