Erdogans response to the letter Trump sent is quite telling.

Also, an image someone on another forum linked that was apparently tweeted by Turkeys former abassador to the US:

Spoiler: rather big image (click to show/hide)

[PTTG??]

Oh look, it's exactly what one would have expected by having an immature huckster as chief diplomat of the United States.

There's now a deal with Turkey. Basically, the US gives Turkey everything they want, and in return Turkey won't have sanctions imposed on them. Ladies and gentlemen: "The Art of the Deal".

Trump also made a point of calling Turkey's president a "Strong man" and how close their relationship is, which kind of feeds into the impression of Trump having a strongman fetish. I heard it on the radio, so no link.

To note, Turkey has already broken the ceasefire.

Uh, has anyone noticed this shit? Children in the hospital with burns. Guess it's ok so long as it's one of his business-senpais.

Trump is happy because they aren’t American soldiers.

The children didn't help us with D-Day.

'may have used', 'alleged use', 'concerns', 'may be consistent with', 'has not yet determined the credibility of these allegations', 'cannot confirm at this time'
Maybe wait until you know it actually happened instead of swallowing the clickbait.

[Cheesy Honkers]

Ayy boy skepticism in this context in this context doesn't mean shit when God Blessed 'Murica can disregard evidence at will

why the fuck should i give yankee goons the benefit of the doubt if non-yankee goons don't get the same priviledge?

[Il Palazzo]

The point being, there's no evidence to disregard.

[Cheesy Honkers]

has that stopped the invasion of iraq?

[Il Palazzo]

Yes, I get it. America bad. This doesn't excuse the lack of scepticism.

[Frumple]

I mean... even without chemical attacks, turkey's being a complete genocidal fuckstick, here, and the US largely enabled it to happen. Chemical attacks would be extra shit on a shit sundae of "demographic correction", or whatever that not so euphemistic statement was, but them not happening wouldn't make it not a shit sundae.

So... I'unno, wait till confirmation on that one, keep shitting on turkey for what it's doing and the US for fucking over its ostensible allies. Seems like an appropriate game plan.

Can you simplify it for those of us that aren't Money Magicians or Stock Market Necromancers?  Financial sorcery where a small group of people are lying and cheating so hard it bends time, space, and the economy, just goes way over my head.

Best description of this so far.

I, too, would like a moneymancer to chime in and translate for us pedestrians.
