We need to pull ALL our troops and stop ALL aid dollars to Turkey!

Uh, no we don't. We need to keep Turkey as an ally. Many in the Turkish government already regret the Parliament's decision, and I can hardly blame the public for being against a war. The last one overwhelmed them with refugees and damaged their economy.

I'm glad to see the aid package has been pulled, and it's unfortunate they left our troops hung out to dry, but I do hope we'll get past this and keep good relations with our long-time ally.

I agree, but on our terms of course.

Uh, yes we do! Why aren't you thinking of OUR economy? The Turks wanted to EXTORT $30B out of us to let our troops pass thru Turkey! Ok, their parliament said NO so I guess they don't want our money and they SHOULDN'T get our aid! NOT ONE PENNY!!!
