Others have had longer careers as members of Congress, which has been the branch of government most willing to impose consequences on Erdogan for his actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Michele Flournoy,<\/strong> one of the top <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2020\/11\/07\/joe-biden-cabinet-picks-possible-choices-433431\">contenders<\/a> to be Biden\u2019s Secretary of Defense, served as the US Under Secretary of Defense for Policy from 2009 to 2012. In August 2014, she expressed support for aid for \u201cKurdish fighters,\u201d though she did not specify whether she was referring to Iraq or Syria. \u201cYes, the US should supply Kurds with what they need to defend key territory and thwart ISIS,\u201d she stated in a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/micheleflournoy\/status\/502200963529072641\">Tweet<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a 2019 House Foreign Affairs Committee <a href=\"https:\/\/www.govinfo.gov\/content\/pkg\/CHRG-116hhrg35612\/html\/CHRG-116hhrg35612.htm\">hearing<\/a> on NATO, Flournoy raised concerns about democracy in Turkey in discussions of the challenges posed by Turkey\u2019s acquisition of the Russian S-400 missile system, and suggested that this should be connected to security cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think the backsliding on democracy needs to be part of the conversation\u201d she stated. \u201cWe have not been raising that issue enough with our Turkish counterparts. We need to press them on this issue. We need to connect what goes on in that sphere with&#8230;the degree to which we can cooperate in the security sphere.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Former US Army officer and Senator <strong>Jack Reed,<\/strong> ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has also been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2020\/11\/07\/joe-biden-cabinet-picks-possible-choices-433431\">named<\/a> as a potential nominee to lead the Defense Department. He is a harsh Erdogan critic who has been broadly supportive of active Kurdish and Armenian constituencies in the state he represents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2019, Reed spoke out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reed.senate.gov\/news\/speeches\/reed-discusses-kurds-syria-and-turkey-on-the-senate-floor\">strongly<\/a> against the Turkish invasion of North and East Syria. He has sponsored legislation calling for stronger US action on human rights in Turkey throughout his legislative career, dating back to a 1996 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/104th-congress\/house-bill\/1274\/text?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22Turkey%22%2C%22Kurds%22%2C%22Turkey%22%2C%22Kurds%22%5D%7D&amp;r=3&amp;s=4\">bill<\/a> that called on the United States to end all aid to Turkey until it \u201crecognizes the civil, cultural, and human rights of its Kurdish citizens, ceases its military operations against Kurdish civilians, and takes demonstrable steps toward a peaceful resolution of the Kurdish issue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Former military veteran and Senator <strong>Tammy Duckworth<\/strong> is another possible <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2020\/11\/07\/joe-biden-cabinet-picks-possible-choices-433431\">choice<\/a> for the position. She was also an outspoken opponent of the attacks on Sere Kaniye and Tel Abyad, referring to Trump\u2019s decision to greenlight the invasion as an \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.graydc.com\/content\/news\/Sen-Tammy-Duckworth-D--563226551.html\">atrocity<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Duckworth has sponsored <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/116th-congress\/senate-resolution\/418\/text?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22Turkey%22%2C%22Turkey%22%5D%7D&amp;r=1&amp;s=2\">legislation<\/a> condemning Erdogan\u2019s crackdown on individuals and organizations that have called for a peaceful resolution to the Kurdish question, supported <a href=\"https:\/\/www.duckworth.senate.gov\/news\/press-releases\/duckworth-helps-introduce-bipartisan-legislation-to-impose-strong-sanctions-on-turkey\">sanctions<\/a> on senior Turkish officials, and expressed support for a stronger US role in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.duckworth.senate.gov\/imo\/media\/doc\/19.01.31%20-%20Duckworth-Blackburn%20Letter%20to%20POTUS%20re.%20Preventing%20Armed%20Conflict%20between%20Partners%20and%20Allies.pdf\">mediating<\/a> a political solution between Turkey and the SDF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Antony Blinken,<\/strong> a close Biden advisor and a possible <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2020\/11\/07\/joe-biden-cabinet-picks-possible-choices-433431\">candidate<\/a> to serve as Secretary of State, is the most traditionally pro-Turkish of Biden\u2019s likely cabinet picks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blinken has held various national security posts dating back to the Clinton administration\u2014and was involved to some degree with that administration\u2019s most destructive policies of appeasement. In 2001, he gave an interview with Turkish television where he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hurriyet.com.tr\/gundem\/aponun-teslim-emri-clintondan-38248135\">defended<\/a> the US role in the capture of the Kurdistan Workers\u2019 Party (PKK) leader Abdullah Ocalan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a January 2017 editorial, he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/01\/31\/opinion\/to-defeat-isis-arm-the-syrian-kurds.html\">argued<\/a> that the United States should support the SDF in their campaign to liberate the self-declared ISIS capital Raqqa from the group, while simultaneously helping Turkey establish a presence in Bab city, on the border with Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blinken has claimed that Trump should establish a personal relationship with Erdogan to make tough diplomacy with Turkey work, and has made the same recommendation for Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Susan Rice,<\/strong> who served as US Ambassador to the United Nations from 2009 to 2013 and National Security Advisor from 2013 to 2017, is also a potential <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2020\/11\/07\/joe-biden-cabinet-picks-possible-choices-433431\">nominee<\/a> for the State Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the October 2019 invasion, Rice repeatedly criticized both Trump and Erdogan for their actions, and expressed concern that Turkey could not effectively fight ISIS. \u201cWe have not viewed these elements of the Kurdish SDF&#8230;as people that we believed posed a terrorist threat to us or others. They were, on the contrary, fighting ISIS when the Turks wouldn&#8217;t,\u201d she said in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/show\/susan-rice-says-u-s-has-sold-out-the-kurds-with-syria-move\">interview<\/a> with <em>PBS NewsHour.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Turks allowed thousands of ISIS fighters to flow through Turkey into Syria. And now to hand over the fight to the Turks and pretend they&#8217;re going to take it to ISIS and secure those prisoners is \u2014 it&#8217;s just not credible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notably, when Trump equated the PKK to ISIS, Rice <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AmbassadorRice\/status\/1184531020470804480\">stated<\/a> that the comparison was \u201camong [his] most dishonest, craven statements ever.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Senator <strong>Chris Coons,<\/strong> a co-founder of the Senate Human Rights Caucus, is also a potential <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2020\/11\/07\/joe-biden-cabinet-picks-possible-choices-433431\">choice<\/a> for the State Department. He has supported <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coons.senate.gov\/news\/press-releases\/carper-coons-join-bipartisan-group-of-senators-to-introduce-turkish-sanctions-legislation\">targeted sanctions<\/a> against Turkey for its actions in Syria, stating that the US \u201ccannot ignore the actions of Turkey and President Erdogan to further de-stabilize Syria and the entire Middle East.\u201d He also called on the White House to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msnbc.com\/mtp-daily\/watch\/coons-congress-absolutely-needs-to-see-transcripts-between-pres-trump-and-turkish-leader-erdo-an-71505989932\">release transcripts<\/a> of Trump\u2019s phone calls with Erdogan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another Senator whose name has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2020\/11\/07\/joe-biden-cabinet-picks-possible-choices-433431\">proposed<\/a> for the Department of State, <strong>Chris Murphy,<\/strong> has a similarly strong record. Murphy recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/116th-congress\/senate-resolution\/409?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22Turkey%22%2C%22Turkey%22%5D%7D&amp;s=2&amp;r=6\">sponsored<\/a> legislation demanding a report on Turkey\u2019s human rights practices. He <a href=\"https:\/\/www.murphy.senate.gov\/newsroom\/press-releases\/murphy-statement-on-launch-of-turkish-offensive-in-syria\">referred<\/a> to Turkish attacks on the SDF as \u201ca humanitarian and national security disaster,\u201d and called on Trump to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.murphy.senate.gov\/newsroom\/press-releases\/murphy-statement-on-upcoming-erdogan-trump-meeting\">rescind<\/a> his invitation for Erdogan\u2019s November 2019 White House visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While cautious about imposing sanctions on Turkish officials, Murphy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.murphy.senate.gov\/newsroom\/press-releases\/murphy-statement-on-turkey-sanctions\">claimed<\/a> that they could be effective if they were targeted to deter war crimes or counter Turkish support for ISIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nominees for cabinet posts will not be named until after Biden takes office in January. All will require 50 or more Senators to vote to confirm them, which could be a difficult process in a polarized Senate where Republicans will likely hold a majority. But whoever is chosen is likely to view Turkey, the SDF, and Kurdish issues differently than their Democratic and Republican predecessors\u2014which could suggest favorable policy shifts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>@_____mjb writes for North Press on how Biden\u2019s potential cabinet members would deal with Turkey and the #SDF. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":50000,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[39,38,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-49992","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home","category-meghan-bodette","category-opinions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
