Turkey, it would be a way of defusing the dispute between turkey and saudi arabia. it would be a way of the u.s. keeping its bet on mbs, and so there is some risk that the three of these will agree on some weak and unconvincing explanation from mbs blaming it on somebody else. the truth is that u.s. and turkish intelligence have a close relationship. if we wanted to get to the bottom of this, we would ask turkey for the tapes that they have. and we would listen to them, and i think that would di...

Suggest something. you have to propose something. one of the key points of leverage is arms sales to saudi arabia. saudi arabia is very dependent on us for military support. not just arms sales but spare parts, logistical support. the list is long. the saudi arabian air force would be grounded overnight if the u.s. completely withdrew support. not to say we should do that but in negotiation, trump is supposed to be a good negotiator, then you have to put the leverage. you have to say well, this ...
