By "literally" the world's policemen I meant taking on the responsibility to investigate this incident and seek redress for it.
...that's actual "literally", not 2018 "literally".
So what we're looking for is: "Yeah, we don't like that. Don't do that"?
I am hardly an isolationist, but I guess my "meddling" overseas is usually limited to things like national security and interests, genocide, humanitarian disaster....not isolated incidents of bad behavior. I guess is we're talking about a response in words rather than anything of real substance, sure, let's try to grab some moral high ground. Why not?
Well, I'd use it as the cover necessary to directly support progressive elements in SA. That's something we've been reluctant to do. That's more than words.
As far as sending the FBI... unless we're getting something REALLY meaningful from Erdogan, NFW pal. Sure, if we can use this to lever Turkey away from Russia, that'd be great, but... let's not just do stuff for free. At least not for him.
