Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan put US President Donald Trump's letter "in the bin", the BBC has been told.
In the letter dated 9 October, and sent after US troops were pulled out of Syria, Mr Trump told Mr Erdogan: "Don't be a tough guy. Don't be a fool!"
President Trump was urging Turkey not to launch a military offensive against Kurdish-led forces in northern Syria, but Mr Erdogan ignored this request.
US Vice President Mike Pence is now in Ankara to push for a ceasefire.
The US has faced intense criticism for the withdrawal of troops, which critics say gave Turkey the green light to launch the military attack.

WE CANNOT LOSE TURKEY AS A NATO ALLY! But I do agree Erdogan, like Barack HUSSEIN Ibama, is a Muslum dirtbag. I say let Erdogan dig his own grave, but DO NOT EVER GIVE UP TURKEY AS AN EXTREMELY STRATEGIC ALLY!!
We only get one vote on whether they are going to be an ally. The other one is Turkey’s and it has been cast against us.
A trillion dollars thrown down Middle East hellholes is enough.
NO MORE...
The promise made to America’s young is we won’t throw their lives away on senseless missions. The military part of the deep state lied to our young - broke their promises to the American people. Military ‘elites’ betrayed their country... they ONLY care about ‘promises’ made to Arabs... a pox on their house...

The Kurds were releasing the ISIS fighters. They were running out of resources and means to hold them and their home countries don’t want them back so some were released. Let ISIS eat cake in their new land of want and disorder.
Trump asked firmly for Erdogan to stand down and he rejected the idea so let him eat cake too. He has been a problem child to the world since he came into power. Looks like a good time to remove the thorn stuck in the gateway to the middle east.
The disconnect with her is so obvious that I can’t believe the media can’t see this.
Schumer’s and Hoyer’s rendition of what happened at the meeting is 180 degrees different.
Trump starts the meeting with the letter to Erdogen, and Pelosi turns it over and doesn’t read it. She starts smiling. Trump says why are you laughing, and then it starts.
I hat these people with a passion, why? Because it’s clear to me, and everyone else on this forum and most of America, that the democrats hate this country. They’re in it to line their own pockets.
The corruption runs so deep, that it HAD TO HAVE started with OBAMA to be so wide spread.
The only thing all the BS has gotten us is a bunch of third world muslims living here.
Which was probably the goal all along.
usually both!!! :)
They were an extremely important ally under the separation of mosque and state established by Mustafa Kemal in the 20s. But they are fully islamized now and never going back. That means their alliance with us is in name only. They stand completely athwart our purposes and are ready to backstab us every chance they get.
So I value your opinion and simply assert a very different one. Our two perspectives vary quite a lot.
I enjoy the repeated whimperings of the butt hurt you are feeling. Winning!
What nobody has brought up— the US is energy independent, this alone make the Middle East is no longer concern for us. Yes we need to protect some of the interest, like Isreal, and Iran nukes. But fighting the tribal wars like we have been doing is stupid. Let Russia Syria and Turkey fight this war. This is, and has been their playground.
I think the only people that care about Syria are the people in DC. Do they really care about the Kurds that much? Or is their something else. I’m betting the latter.
Lol
And now its being reported that Turkey just agreed to a ceasefire.
Sucks to be you.
