Puerto Rico's boiling point
Puerto Rico's Center for Investigative Journalism "published the 900 pages of chats that served as the boiling point for protestors" now demanding Gov. Ricardo Rosselló's resignation, CNN's Leyla Santiago wrote Monday.
I wanted to know more about the organization known as CPI. It has broken many, many stories in the past eleven years. But this month has been unlike any other in its history. "As soon as we scrolled through the documents," exec director Carla Minet told me, "we knew we had to publish."
That was back on July 13. The protests have been growing in size and strength ever since. Reporters have depicted the profane messages as a breaking point for Puerto Ricans who were already fed up with corruption across the island. And the center has been reporting about that, as well: David Begnaud, a CBS News correspondent who has spent months in Puerto Rico, tweeted that CPI "has done great work exposing alleged corruption." | | The ProPublica of Puerto Rico
The center specializes in going to court to fight for documents -- a tactic that proved especially important in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. CPI has led the way in reporting on the direct and indirect death toll from Maria. Last year it published a database of hurricane-related deaths. Melissa Mark-Viverito, the Puerto Rico-born former speaker of the New York City Council (and one of the figures targeted in the texts), told me that CPI's role has been "invaluable" in the wake of Maria.
The site's biggest story yet
Minet said the scandal that's erupted from the text messages "is definitely" the most significant story in the site's history. One of the results has been CPI's best week of donations ever. A few days ago Lin-Manuel Miranda tweeted that "it's more important than ever to support investigative journalism" in Puerto Rico, sharing a message from his father Luis A. Miranda, Jr., who encouraged donations to CPI.
Minet said the center has also been a substantial increase followers on social media. And some thank you gifts have shown up at the newsroom -- including a coffee plant. Fuel to keep going! Here's my full story...
Shep challenges Rosselló
Rosselló joined Fox's Shep Smith for his "first one-on-one interview since scandal engulfed his governorship more than a week ago," and Smith "did not hold back," Politico's Caitlin Oprysko wrote. Here's how Smith challenged the governor...
Trump: "I'm the best thing that ever happened to Puerto Rico."
That's really truly what Trump said on Monday afternoon. It's the type of quote that can't merely be fact-checked. It must be... I don't know... gut-checked?
Stephen Colbert, who knows a thing or two about truthiness, played the soundbite and reacted this way on Monday's "Late Show:" "Excuse me? Excuse me? The best thing? I got two words for you: Ricky Martin. You sir! You sir! You sir are livin' la vida loca!"
Don't believe your eyes!
Trump keeps saying, in effect, "don't believe your eyes." Last week he said he started speaking "very quickly" after his rally crowd chanted "send her back." News outlets disproved his claim by playing the clip of him soaking up the chant while remaining silent for 13 seconds.
 It happened again on Monday. Trump tried to dispute a detail from a WaPo story by saying "there were no talking points" about the so-called "squad" of freshman congresswomen. But a WaPo photographer, Jabin Botsford, literally took a photo of the typed talking points.
And just like that, we're back to the Marx Brothers: "Who you gonna believe, me or your lying eyes?"
Paul Waldman's must-read
"Right now Trump is whipping up racist animosity against four Democratic congresswomen while simultaneously arguing that his attacks have nothing to do with race. When, for instance, he argues that he never spoke about them with the aid of talking points, though there are photographs of him holding the talking points, it's hard not to think he's trying to send the media chasing one bizarre lie after another, to drive us all mad," WaPo opinion writer Paul Waldman said Monday.
His full column is a must-read. He thinks ahead to 2020, imagining Trump coming up with preposterous lies about his general election rival, lies that are promoted all throughout the pro-Trump media universe. "Meanwhile," he forecasts, "voters' social media feeds are inundated with fake organizations and fake people offering a dizzying array of misinformation, leaving them stumbling from one supposed blockbuster revelation to the next and utterly unable to figure out what is real." The nation's news media simply is not ready for this potential mess, he says.
"The whole thing begins to take on a feeling of madness, where the only safe harbor lies is in the tribe that offers you belonging and the conviction that the people you hate are even worse than you thought. That's what's coming. And it hasn't even begun." Read it...
FOR THE RECORD, PART ONE
-- Come to this story for the sweeping two-year budget agreement -- stay for Jeff Zeleny's color about Nancy Pelosi negotiating the final details while aboard a delayed Delta flight waiting to take off from Detroit to DC.

Mueller countdown
-- The top headline on CNN.com right now: "Mueller's testimony must not stray from his report, DOJ says."
-- Anderson Cooper debunking some of Trump's anti-Mueller claims: "Literally every single assertion of fact from the President there is not true. It's false."
-- Garrett Graff has the "definitive congressional guide to Robert Mueller's mind."
-- The NYT is out with "19 questions we have for Mueller," including "would you charge the president if he weren't in office?"
-- "It's time for Robert Mueller to lose the mystery, drop the double-speak and stop the riddling. He needs to tell the American public where he stands -- straight, clear and in plain English," CNN analyst Elie Honig writes...
-- Margaret Sullivan's latest column: "The media is getting a second chance to cover Robert Mueller's findings — and this time get it right."
The "racist" debate rages on
WaPo's Erik Wemple says Reuters "is struggling with descriptions of Trump's racist tweets." He hears there's been "a 'brawl' within Reuters over how to handle the matter, with a masthead edict not to use 'racist' in the Reuters voice, according to a source with knowledge of the proceedings." Details here...
A correction to Sunday's show
On Sunday's "Reliable Sources," I said one of the "standards editors" at NPR said "we should not be in the business of moral labeling." This was VP Keith Woods, arguing that newsrooms shouldn't state that Trump's tweets were racist. I called this "the view from NPR," but I was incorrect. Woods' opinion piece did not reflect the news organization's position -- in fact, NPR's newsroom disagrees with him -- and reporters have been calling the "go back" tweets racist for the past week.

AOC, a made-up story, and a police officer's threatening message
Two police officers have been fired in the wake of this: "Gretna police officer suggests U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez 'needs a round' in social media post."
Chad Calder's follow-up story on Monday said "the author of the Facebook post, Charlie Rispoli, and another officer who 'liked' the post, Angelo Varisco, were both fired for violating the department's social-media policy."
But I want to flag something from Calder's initial story -- about the insidious effect of made-up stories on social media sites. The officer's original anti-AOC comment "referred to a fake news story he posted to his personal Facebook page on Thursday at 1:51 p.m. The story's headline attributed a fabricated quote to Ocasio-Cortez saying, 'We pay soldiers too much.' The photo on the post is marked as 'satire' and it had been labeled 'false' by the website snopes.com on Wednesday, but Rispoli appeared to be upset by it."
Le Batard and Pitaro at loggerheads
Dan Le Batard took the day off from his ESPN radio show after a series of conversations with ESPN president Jimmy Pitaro over the weekend. In the wake of Le Batard's commentary assailing Trump and calling ESPN "cowardly" for having a no-pure-politics policy, some prominent voices have been coming to his defense -- but Pitaro isn't loosening up on the policy.
Nor was Pitaro persuaded by his phone calls with Le Batard, Sports Business Journal's John Ourand reports: Pitaro "consistently cites research that shows that ESPN's audience views the network as an escape from politics. The research, he says, makes it clear that ESPN loses viewers when its hosts discuss politics."
So the two men are clearly at odds. Le Batard skipped his radio show on Monday... but he did tape his TV show... and "ESPN expects Le Batard to host his radio show tomorrow," per Ourand. Read my story here...
Donald Trump Jr.'s "Triggered"
CNN's Betsy Klein writes: Donald Trump Jr. has a new book coming out. "Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us," is out on November 5, just in time for Christmas and just under a year before the election...

Maria Elena Salinas, who left Univision at the end of 2017 after 30+ years, is joining CBS News as a contributor. The network says "Salinas will contribute reports across CBS News broadcasts and platforms and will frequently appear on coverage of the run-up to the 2020 election..."
What's with the "equal time" excuse?
The Cumulus explanation for spiking Blair Garner's interview with Pete Buttigieg -- citing the FCC's "equal time" rule -- doesn't add up. I've been hearing from numerous experts about this. Cumulus' rationale "is flat wrong," media researcher Dylan McLemore tweeted. "The equal time rule is indeed 'widely understood' ... to NOT include 'bonafide news interviews,' even by entertainment hosts like Garner." McLemore cited late-night talk show interviews as an example. "So what's the real reason?" he asked...
Some of what helps and hurts trust in media
Frederic Filloux's latest Monday Note is a look at how trust in the news media varies around the world -- and why. A few key quotes:
-- "To reinforce the overall trust in news media, nothing works better than favoring direct access to online sources."
-- "Consumers who pay, trust their media more."
-- "The damages inflicted by all forms of social media have been tremendous," by devaluing the notion of info and creating lots of confusion about accurate versus made-up news. "While social remains a fantastic playground to test innovative products or tap into new audiences, it is clear that the information industry needs a decisive reconnection strategy with its consumers."

Cable blackouts: From bad to worse
Brian Lowry emails: Variety's Brian Steinberg points out that cable blackouts (see AT&T-CBS, and Dish/practically everybody) are becoming more common, which would seem to reflect the uncertainty surrounding that distribution system, exacerbated by the studios that own many of these networks bypassing those entities in launching their own streaming services...
| | "Old Town Road" ties the big Billboard record
"Lil Nas X's 'Old Town Road' rode right into its 16th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 today, tying the record for longest consecutive time in the top spot," NPR's Emily Abshire wrote Monday. "Only two songs have achieved this long of a streak before in the chart's history. Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men's 'One Sweet Day' was first in 1995, and held the record for more than two decades until Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee — with an assist from Justin Bieber on the remix — tied it in 2017 with 'Despacito.'"
But here's the key context, per Abshire: The rapper has "dominated the Hot 100 in part by exploiting Billboard's murky remix policy, which counts the original song and its remixes as one when it comes to calculating chart position (as long as the remixes don't deviate too far in composition). Lil Nas X has released four official versions of 'Old Town Road,' the newest of which, featuring rapper Young Thug and viral star Mason Ramsey, came just last week, in time to push listening numbers up ahead of week 16..."
| | 'The Lion King' sinks its teeth into critic-audience divide
Brian Lowry emails: The boffo box-office numbers for "The Lion King," which is still licking its wounds from tepid reviews, is already inviting some to question whether critics are "out of step" with audiences. While there are a few crumbs of truth in that, there are more misconceptions, starting with the whole point of a construct like this, which is designed to be largely review-proof; and the fact that most critics are providing opinions about the movie without seeking to dissuade people from seeing it, or harboring delusions that their reviews will. Read on...
This movie can't come soon enough
On Monday "Sony has released the first trailer for the upcoming film about the late Fred Rogers, 'A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,'" Marianne Garvey writes. "In the teaser, schoolchildren sing to Rogers on the subway and we see Tom Hanks dressed as the children's television host on the set of 'Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.'" The film will be out in time for Thanksgiving...
Cameron says congrats to Marvel
Brian Lowry emails: In what's now become a Hollywood tradition, "Avatar" director James Cameron congratulated Marvel for unseating his movie as the top-grossing worldwide release of all time, just as George Lucas congratulated Cameron when "Titanic" sank "Star Wars." Of course, it's all a bit more incestuous now that "Avatar" and Marvel share space under the Disney corporate umbrella... | | FOR THE RECORD, PART FOUR

-- Miranda Lambert and her new husband are having a great summer...
-- Beth Chapman's final reality series is set to air in September. She died in June at the age of 51 after battling cancer.
"Lies" aftermath
Megan Thomas emails: For those who are caught up on "Big Little Lies" and feeling mixed about the second season, I liked this take from The Atlantic's Sophie Gilbert, asking if ANY show could "meet the expectations that the HBO series set."
Gilbert wrote: "There just aren't that many shows out there, still, that give such substantial time to the subject of how women think and feel... Amazon's Fleabag is one; Hulu's Shrill is another. The Handmaid's Tale, once a window into the interiority of a woman whose mind was her only release, has long since lost its potency. And yet there are more series than ever, which is why one so studded with extraordinary actors has the privilege of being that most unlikely thing of all for many people: a disappointment." Read on...
How about a third season?
Some viewers are clamoring for a Season 3 after Season 2's finale, Lisa Respers France writes...
>> Vulture's Joe Adalian tweeted: "HBO execs have been clear for some time that there's no plan for a third season of #BigLittleLies, and that it's highly unlikely there'll be one any time soon, if ever. I think a lot of fans of the show will read finale as cliffhanger, but...it probably isn't..." He added: "Do I still think this group of actors will reunite in some project based in Northern California sometime within the next five years? I do! Especially if HBOMAX doesn't hit its subscriber targets out of the gate." | |

Covering the pattern
Here's what I wanted to get across on Sunday's "Reliable." Yes, some parts of Trump's track record on race are well known: Birtherism. Mexican "rapists." A "total and complete shut-down of Muslims entering the U.S." Judge Curiel. "Shithole countries." Charlottesville. And many news outlets have been referring back to these episodes while covering "go back" and "send her back." Journalists have been seeking to connect the dots.
But this pattern goes back even further... to the DOJ's discrimination lawsuit against Trump in the 1970s... and his call for the Central Park Five to be executed in 1989... and so on. There's a pattern, going back decades and continuing up until the present day. Covering the pattern requires history, context and time. Are news outlets up to the challenge? Here's my opening essay from TV...
Notable quotes
-- "Newsrooms need to recognize that race and identity will be the central, key point of this election," Astead Herndon said...
-- Bhaskar Sunkara, the founder and editor of Jacobin, reacted to Fox's portrayal of "toxic" socialist policies... He said "it really behooves them to try to scare monger people..."
-- The Atlantic staff writer Adam Serwer, who coined the phrase "the cruelty is the point" last year, says a key part of the president's relationship with his supporters is "this sort of community flaying of the president's enemies..."
-- "American Carnage" author Tim Alberta said "the decline in some of those more institutional mainstream media outlets" coincided with "the growth of Fox News and with the Republican Party as a whole moving farther and farther to the right..."

| Puerto Rico’s smoldering rage ignites Posted: 22 Jul 2019 04:57 PM PDT TicToc Tonight | Greetings, TicToc readers! Monday's almost over. Here's what's happening: But first...  Massive protests take aim at Rosselló Thousands of Puerto Ricans again hit the streets demanding Gov. Ricardo Rosselló resign, a day after he said he said he wouldn't seek re-election. Toddlers, teens, professionals and the elderly were seen waving flags, hoisting signs and banging pots and pans during the demonstrations, which jammed a major highway and forced cruise ships to skirt port stops. The protests, possibly the island's biggest ever, came 10 days after the leak of 889 pages of online chats revealing homophobic and misogynistic messages between Rosselló and some of his close aides. Headlines from around the world Hong Kong tensions escalated overnight when a group of men in white attacked protesters wearing black at a train station near the China border. India launched its unmanned Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft to the far side of the moon, a week after aborting the mission due to a technical problem. Boris Johnson is favored to become Britain's next prime minister after voting closed in the race between him and Jeremy Hunt. Democrats plan to ask Robert Mueller very specific questions about obstruction of justice when he finally testifies before Congress this week. Iran handed down death sentences to several nationals accused of being part of a CIA-trained spy network uncovered earlier this year. Highly quotable "I could win that war in a week." Trump says he could end the war in Afghanistan but doesn't want to wipe it "off the face of the earth." "Emerging classified flight mission." The U.S. Army is conducting a secret operation that has Black Hawk helicopters flying over D.C. "You are all the squad." Rep. Rashida Tlaib told attendees of the NAACP convention that if you support equity and justice, "you are one of us." This'll only take a minute Are you on WhatsApp?

Sign up today.  Significant figures $700,000,000. Equifax agreed to pay up to that much to settle probes into a 2017 breach that exposed the private data of 147 million people. 160,000. Despite the U.K.'s population of more than 66 million people, that's how many—just 0.25%—will choose the next prime minister. $191,800,000. The Lion King raked in that much in its opening weekend, despite lukewarm reviews from critics.  What's good? Sawdust: a plastic waste solution?

The agreement, negotiated by Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, is expected to clear both chambers before the August recess — alleviating pressure ahead of a slew of high-stakes fiscal deadlines this fall. "This was a real compromise in order to give another big victory to our Great Military and Vets!" Trump tweeted. Read more here.

| Apple’s heir apparent Posted: 22 Jul 2019 02:16 PM PDT Evening Briefing Congress and the White House are on the brink of an agreement that would raise the debt limit until July 31, 2021 and increase government spending for two years, Bloomberg News reports. The question remains whether President Donald Trump, who's been briefed on the outline, will support it. —Josh Petri Here are today's top storiesJeff Williams co-created the Apple Watch and runs the company's global operations. With the departure of Jony Ive, he's now taken over the design studio as well, making him the second most important person at Apple and Tim Cook's heir apparent as CEO. So what's he like? Iran has handed down death sentences to several nationals accused of being part of a CIA-trained spy network, an official said on Monday. Goldman Sachs is having one of its more unusual deals investigated by a private intelligence firm. Investors snapped up $1.2 billion worth of bonds that channeled proceeds to a cluster of airlines linked to Etihad Airways; two years later, it went bust. Now a group of creditors wants to know how the deal came together. American farmers are making more money advocating for the industry on social media than actually farming. The Pentagon revealed a few details about a secret Army mission that has Black Hawk helicopters flying missions over Washington D.C. Several Democratic presidential candidates want to make public college free, but their plans could pose a major threat to the survival of the country's 1,700 private institutions. What's Sid Verma thinking about? The Bloomberg cross-asset reporter says Wall Street concern over "crowded trades" is legitimate. While risk aversion and herding are nothing new, the extent to which active funds are willing to pay up for popular stocks is at extreme levels, according to a recent note from Bank of America strategists. What you'll need to know tomorrow- Goldman Sachs says stocks likely won't go up much higher.

| 24 Sussex is crumbling. No one is willing to commit to fix it Posted: 22 Jul 2019 02:05 PM PDT | The federal Conservatives accuse the Trudeau government of dithering over “critical” upgrades to the stately yet run-down home, and needlessly costing taxpayers more money in the process. Butts, a close long-time friend of Trudeau, resigned in February amid the SNC-Lavalin controversy, citing allegations from anonymous sources that he pressured former Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould to assist the Quebec engineering giant to be considered for an agreement akin to a plea bargain. It would be unprecedented for the Greens to hold the balance of power at the federal level but it has happened provincially. In British Columbia, the Greens’ three seats are keeping NDP Leader John Horgan’s minority government in office. In the pictures taken by his mum, the young royal, who turns six on July 22, is giggling on the ground, and sports a gigantic, “look-how-many-teeth-I’ve-lost” grin.

| Iran and the West keep stumbling into greater tension Posted: 22 Jul 2019 01:51 PM PDT Bloomberg Opinion Today Today's Agenda  Iran Dispute Reaches Nice Roiling Boil Cooler heads keep struggling to hold their ground in the confrontation between Iran and the West. Iran today said it planned to execute several Iranians it accused of being part of a CIA spy network. President Donald Trump responded by declaring that Iran's pants were on fire, something that happens to liars. Iran continues to hold the British oil tanker it seized in the Strait of Hormuz on Friday, in retaliation for Britain taking an Iranian tanker a few weeks ago. Oil prices jumped for a bit, until everybody remembered the U.S. is swimming in the stuff while the global economy is slowing down. Still, the aforementioned strait is a key chokepoint for the global oil flow, and Iran keeps demonstrating it can clamp it down when it really wants to, notes Julian Lee. Major oil exporting countries don't have many alternative routes, he adds. And everybody shooting at each other won't uncork the flow nearly as much as diplomacy, which has been scarce lately. Fortunately, aside from a few rabid hawks, nobody yet seems very interested in shooting at each other. The U.K. tried to downplay its own tensions with Iran today. That seems wise, given it stumbled into confrontation with Iran with no real plan, observes David Fickling, other than hoping the U.S. would come to its rescue. It's all redolent of the U.K.'s misadventures in the Suez Canal in 1956, David suggests, an incident that signaled the death of the British empire. These days, it would settle for a functional government. Further Middle East Diplomacy Reading: Trump's Self-Defeating Asylum Policy Like it or not, Trump's approach to immigration has at least been consistent; namely, he doesn't want any of it. You can see this in his latest directive forcing asylum seekers to first apply in some other country that is not their own or the U.S. Bloomberg's editorial board notes this will make seeking asylum all but impossible for most people – though it will certainly not deter asylum-seekers from coming to the U.S. and further straining a collapsing system. Trump could do much to fix it by simply hiring more judges to clear out a backlog of claims, but he'd rather grandstand and let the problem fester, apparently. Bonus Editorial: Japan and South Korea must end their pointless trade war, which only hurts both countries. Editorial Update: Last week, Bloomberg's editorial board said Turkey had walked away from the West by buying a Russian air-defense system, drilling for oil in Cypriot waters and otherwise behaving badly. Today Recep Tayyip Erdogan's spokesperson, Ibrahim Kalin, responds by saying it is the West that has abandoned Turkey, by ignoring its contributions and needs. Kroger Builds Robot Army Sci-fi writers have long envisioned dystopian futures of warring robots, but few likely expected the earliest skirmishes would involve bagging groceries. Nevertheless, here we are: Kroger Co. is teaming up with Britain's Ocado Group Plc to build warehouses across the U.S. that will employ robots trained to carefully separate your eggs from your dog food when filling online grocery orders. This is a sensible effort to try to survive online competition from Whole Foods-owning Amazon.com Inc., Walmart Inc. and similar behemoths, writes Sarah Halzack. But those behemoths have their own robot armies, and Kroger probably should have thought of doing this three years ago.

| Why the U.S. Ejected Turkey from F-35 Program (Cagaptay | NBC News) Posted: 22 Jul 2019 01:45 PM PDT WHY THE U.S. EJECTED TURKEY FROM F-35 FIGHTER JET PROGRAM, AND WHY THE TURBULENCE WILL ONLY GROW by Soner Cagaptay NBC News
July 22, 2019 The future of the bilateral relationship looks bleak after years of strategic divergence on crises in Iraq and Syria. READ THIS ARTICLE ON OUR WEBSITE
When the Pentagon took the unprecedented step of suspending Turkey from America’s flagship F-35 fighter jet project earlier last week in retaliation for Ankara’s decision to purchase the Russian-made S-400 missile defense system, it spoke volumes about the dismal prospects for the U.S.-Turkish relationship. The F-35 project will serve as the backbone of cooperation between America and its allies for decades to come. It’s a future that Turkey’s military is unlikely to share in. For the almost seven decades since Turkey entered NATO in 1952, following Russian threats and demands that Ankara hand over Turkish territory to Moscow, military relations have served as the glue in the bilateral ties between Ankara and Washington. In 2002, when I started my work as an analyst in Washington, the U.S. military was Turkey’s biggest fan in the American capital. The Pentagon viewed Turkey, which possesses the second biggest military in NATO and boasts the largest economy lying between Germany and India, as a reliable ally and the bedrock of a regional security architecture serving America’s interests across Europe, the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Today, the U.S. military is Ankara’s biggest adversary in Washington. As such, Turkey’s suspension from the F-35 project for its Russian acquisition is a symptom of the problems between the United States and Turkey, rather than the problem itself. It’s the wars in two of Turkey’s neighbors, Iraq and Syria, that have helped catalyze this change and eroded the relationship. Namely, in Iraq the U.S. wanted to do a lot and Turkey wanted to do little, and in Syria, Turkey wanted to do a lot and America little. After supporting the 2001 U.S. campaign against al Qaeda in Afghanistan in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the Iraq War marked the first time that Turkey stopped throwing its unconditional support behind U.S. wars. The break came under its new prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and the version of political Islam that he and his party introduced when he took office in 2003. He became Turkey’s president in 2015, and altogether has put his stamp on Turkish foreign policy for the past 16 years. Erdogan objected to America’s Iraq campaign in 2003, warning, to his credit, that the war would unleash instability in the Middle East. Moreover, in weakening Iraq’s key institutions, including its military, the conflict left Ankara with the challenge of having to deal with a failing state on its doorstep. In Syria, Ankara has been the trigger-happy one, rushing to oust the regime of President Bashar al-Assad without building an international consensus or regional alliances to that end. The Arab uprising reached Syria in 2011, by which time Erdogan had delivered phenomenal economic growth and received tremendous popular support. He hubristically saw the Syrian insurrection as an opportunity to replace the Assad dictatorship—secular and Arab nationalist in nature—with a leadership closer to his own model of political Islam. Friends of the Assad regime—Russia and Iran—have successfully pushed back against Erdogan’s vision and Ankara’s proxies in Syria, which have proven themselves a weak force. To counter Russian military deployment and Iranian proxies, such as Hezbollah, Ankara has turned a blind eye to radical fighters crossing through Turkey into Syria to battle the Assad regime and its allies. Turkey is not in bed with jihadists. Rather, Ankara’s calculus was that if Assad fell, the “good guys” (i.e. Ankara-backed rebels) would take over, and that the latter would clean up the “bad guys” (i.e. jihadists). But this was a fallacy. At least some of the “bad guys” who crossed into Syria have morphed into fighters of the Islamic State militant group in front of Ankara’s eyes.
This shortsighted vision and the rise of ISIS have only added to rising negative sentiments inside the Pentagon toward Ankara. Erdogan, meanwhile, resents that America has not given him sufficient support to oust his enemy in Damascus. Erdogan’s view of the U.S. military took a further nosedive in 2014 after the Pentagon started to collaborate with the People’s Protection Forces (YPG) to fight ISIS in Syria. The YPG is an offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), designated as a terror entity by Ankara and Washington alike, which has been fighting Turkey for decades. Not only Erdogan but also many Turks will never forgive President Barack Obama’s decision, backed by the U.S. military, to partner with an offshoot of Turkey’s sworn enemy. At the same time, rising concerns that Turkey would attack U.S. allies on the grounds, i.e. the YPG, while the Pentagon had military personnel alongside these forces, further soured the U.S. military on Erdogan. Sadly, these views are likely to become only more entrenched for now. For instance, at least some officers from Central Command, the U.S. military’s wing responsible for fighting in conflicts in the Middle East, simply view Turkey as an adversary at this point. Many officers from CENTCOM will be promoted within the ranks in the coming years, growing this negative view of Turkey in Washington. For his part, Erdogan’s grip on power remains. And his list of American transgressions has only grown, particularly the role he has accused the U.S. of playing in the unsuccessful coup against him in 2016. In the failed takeover, officers aligned with cleric Fethullah Gulen—who lives in the U.S. and has not been extradited despite Turkish requests—seem to have played a key role. I see the future of U.S.-Turkish ties as bleak. Developments in the past two decades have split American and Turkish strategic views of each other, and it is unlikely that these views and those who implement them will converge any time soon—unless, of course, Russia plays its hand wrong as it did at the beginning of the Cold War, threatening Ankara and pushing Turkey back into Washington’s arms.
