Fox News' Alex Hogan provides details on two U.S. marines' condition following an attack in Turkey that resulted in 15 arrests. Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., argues the attack is the result of weak leadership in the White House.

The Left is violent and getting worse.
Does anyone know what triggered this?
Supposedly 5 more Marines standing nearby charged in and attacked the assailants. I wanna see that part of the video.
Most of the US reporting on this is just a blurb, and would have you think that it was just some drunken shenanigans of some shore-leave sailors and Marines, as does happen occasionally.
This was politically motivated, carried out by a political group. They were trying to overpower and put a hood over the head of one of the Marines- that’s no mere altercation- that’s an abduction attempt.
Crazy that the Turks are reporting it more accurately than US media. (And charging accordingly- most of the accused are facing some sort of kidnapping charge, not just the Turkish equivalent to disorderly conduct).
If Biden will sit on his hands after an American was murdered to prevent his release in Gaza, what would he do about some street fight between off duty Marines and Turks, even if the Turks were fully to blame.
A former marine friend tells a great story about he and 3 buddies had to fight their way out of a bar in Manila where they were drinking, chatting and playing cards with some bar girls, who after a while, claimed the Marines owed them $1000 in gambling losses - with a large group of Filipino dudes showing up to enforce the judgement
suffice it to say - they didn’t pay
Semper Fi!
They were yelling “Yankee American Pigs”. They hate us, and they know darn well that they can get away with showing us how much they hate us.
The “hood” was not a cloth hood, it was a plastic bag. They were trying to suffocate the Marine.
Yes, they hate us. But they have always hated us. So, why this now?
Was in Bangkok with some buddies and 4 of us ended up in a bar mid afternoon in a not great area of the city, thanks to a tuk-tuk driver taking us to a “good” place. After a while I was looking around the bar, and the walls were lined up with Thai dudes, all staring at us.
Told my buddies we needed to get out, now, or we’d be fighting our way out. Had to push and force our way out the door. I am convinced it would have ended badly if we were there much longer.
Attack is the result of muslims being muslims in Turkey. Has nothing to do with US politics.

“For a nation of pigs, it sure’s funny you don’t eat ‘em!”
In the old days when America was a country, it would have taken one call from a President to stop that nonsense immediately.
Like I said, they know they can get away with it.
If I were president, I would apologize for a pile of corpses. Matines would not be permitted to be harassed.

I would shoot them just for calling me a yankee...
Should be hazardous to one’s health.
How much do we give to turkey in foreign aid? I would hope it is zero or drops to zero immediately.
