As much as I dislike the guy, what he is saying is not wrong.

A US diplomat's wife has fled the UK and has claimed diplomatic immunity after she killed a man in a head-on crash while she was driving on the wrong side of the road.

Anne Sacoolas is wanted for questioning over the death of motorcyclist Harry Dunn in Northamptonshire on 27 August.

The US State Department said diplomatic immunity was "rarely waived".

Boris Johnson said the UK would speak to the US ambassador and "if we can't resolve it then... I will be raising it myself with the White House".

The 42-year-old Sacoolas is married to Jonathan Sacoolas, public records show. It is not clear what position he holds in the U.S. government that has provided him and his wife diplomatic immunity. The couple lives near RAF Croughton, a British Royal Air Force base currently being used by the U.S. Air Force as a communications station. Sky News referred to it as a “spy base.”

Sacoolas had only been in the U.K. for three weeks, The Telegraph reports.

Dunn was killed in a head-on collision near the base on August 27. His family and British government officials have spoken out about the incident in order to call for justice for Dunn, encouraging Sacoolas to return to Britain to face questioning and potential charges. She has not been accused of any criminal wrongdoing at this point.

All that progress in Syria that we accomplished is about to be completely undone. The amount of lives lost are going to be innumerable over this. Ugh.

Whoa whoa I think you guys are jumping the gun a little bit here. So what if we're leaving the Turks to their own devices in the region? Are you trying to imply we can't trust Turkey with unchecked military action against ethnic groups they don't like?

"I have a little conflict of interest, because I have a major, major building in Istanbul ... It’s called Trump Towers. Two towers, instead of one. Not the usual one, it’s two. And I’ve gotten to know Turkey very well."

Donald Trump, December 2015

didn't most of you lefties oppose the intervention in Syria

am i taking crazy pills

i mean i agree with what yalls is saying and good on Lindsey for trying to prevent the Kurds from getting Turk'd / realigning with the Shia Crescent but often it feels you guys take the position opposed to Donaldo regardless of your past beliefs. when did everyone become an interventionist that supports deployments in the Middle East.

Remember when Jim Mattis resigned over Trump wanting to withdraw from Syria?

Wonder if we'll hear from him at all?

Didnt people criticize obama for not doing enough in syria? I dont recall people being up in arms about helping the Kurds, especially if it was to help fight against ISIS.

The replies to that tweet are pretty damn funny.

I was against intervention at least in the form of U.S. boots on the ground but pulling out at this time for these reasons makes an already bad situation worse.

You can oppose being there in the first place and also, once we are there anyway, oppose leaving our allies high & dry to get genocided. It’s not mutually exclusive.

I know this is could barely be said to be the cherry on this bat-shit Sunday but did he just say he's previously destroyed Turkey's economy?
