time for the US to recognize the Armenian genocide, finally. and Trump is the man.
The real reason is that Turkey is going Islam crazy.
Erdogan wants to install himself in the Sultan’s palace, but I think “Kurdistan” has a nice ring to it.
Regardless of the current state of affairs (reasons), I’m still really pissed that they did not let the 4th ID through to North Iraq during the 1st Gulf War, and what they have done to the Kurds.
Hopefully, I will never have to visit Turkey again.

Yuan or gold backed bonds are like COMECON barter deals, a farcical replica of the dollar dominated global trading system.
Having lived in Turkey when I was younger; it’s important to note the leadership/government/military of Turkey is not representative of the average person in Turkey just like when the muslim-loving obama was giving away the farm to our Islamic enemies was not representative of us. Most people, especially in the cities where the people are educated, are comfortable with Western style and values unless that has changed since I was there.
I see the Iranian people are protesting and are generally fed up with the Mullahs leading the country under Islamic principles. I hope the same thing happens in Turkey and they overthrow the corrupt Erdogan regime. Time will tell I guess.
Islam is the problem; never the solution.
Ask the 4th ID who were prevented from entering Iraq thru Turkey.
Trump asks jailed pastor to be "patriot hostage" as U.S.-Turkey feud escalates
Turkey and the United States exchanged new threats of sanctions Friday, keeping alive a diplomatic and financial crisis that is threatening the economic stability of the NATO country as a Turkish court rejected the appeal of an American pastor caught in the middle of the row. Turkey's lira fell once again after the trade minister, Ruhsar Pekcan, said Friday that her government would respond to any new trade duties, which U.S. President Trump threatened in an overnight tweet.
Mr. Trump is taking issue with the continued detention in Turkey of Andrew Brunson, an American evangelical pastor who faces 35 years in prison on charges of espionage and terrorism. Before leaving the White House on Friday, Mr. Trump warned that "we are not going to take it sitting down." He also called the spying charge against Brunson "phony" and denounced Turkey as a "problem for a long time."
He said Turkey has "not acted like a friend" and demanded Brunson's release, saying "they can't take our people."

Erdogan has turned it into another Muslim State.
NATO should be abolished. Once the Berlin Wall fell, Europe should've been on its own.
