Today, Mike Pence (R-IN) rose on the House floor and warned Turkey that the United States will stand with Israel even if Turkey decides to risk its alliance with the US.
Well, that is one congress member's opinion. Even the President cannot state with finality and certainty what the United States "will" do.
I, for one, would not allow Israel, Turkey, or Armenia dictate what our foreign policy should be. We can work with, support, oppose, or talk to, almost any nation, depending on whether the actions they choose to take are in harmony with those we choose.
