ISTANBUL - Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned the European Union that if it continues threatening his country he will open the border gates and allow hundreds of thousands of migrants to flood into EU countries.

Erdogan, in a speech Friday, reacted furiously to a non-binding resolution approved the previous day by the European Parliament demanding that the bloc freeze membership negotiations with Turkey over the government's heavy-handed crackdown following a failed coup in July.

"We are the ones who feed 3-3.5 million refugees in this country. You have betrayed your promises," Erdogan told the EU. "If you go any further those border gates will be opened."

Let us into the EU, or else we will let you be invaded. So then build a wall and let Erdogan and the rapefugees stew in their own juices.

Opening borders TO migrants usually meant letting migrants INTO the country. I think that Erdogan means letting migrants out and into other countries. Who writes these headlines?

Translation colon we can do this the easy way, or the hard way. Either way you will be invaded. Well, at least they’rere telegraphing their punch. But I suspect the knuckleheads in Brussels won’t even figure that out.

I would hire bounty hunters and unleash them to the border area.

Knowing the Europeans, they’ll demand both - letting Turkey into the EU and DEMANDING the release of 3.5 million Muslims onto their soil - so as to STICK IT IN THE FACE of ethnic Europeans.

Would they take scalps, or bring in live suspects?

threatening his country he will open the border gates and allow hundreds of thousands of migrants to flood into EU countries.

Uh, that play only works if the EU also opens its borders to let them in. It would be fairly simple to complete blockade the Turkish border from the EU side.

Threatening Europe with what? bombs? disease? No. Worse. Millions of muzzards who will rape the women and go on welfare.

England is very fortunate to be and island.... They should thank their lucky stars for that..! It should make it much easier to keep the filthy stinking rapist out of their country... Of course, it will be necessary for them to hunt down and dispose of the ones they already have....

I’m waiting to see if Donald Trump will fill our own foreign and defense establishments with people who think Erdogan is such an important ally that he must be appeased and catered to.

Watch out for anyone who heaps praise on Turkey!

The EU better nip this in the bud. Send out their armies to guard the border and shoot Turkish invaders on sight.
