Turkey's Islamist Tyrant Erdogan: Europeans Will Not Walk Safely Down Their Own Streets Until They Change Their Policies To My Liking

This said on the day of what appears to be an Islamist "marauding attack" in London that killed four and injured 20, including some visiting French schoolchildren.

(BTW, early reports naming the attacker as a Jamaican Islamic convert and murder-cleric seem to be wrong; sources say that guy is still in jaii.)

On to the Hamas-arming Erdogan and his new threats against Europe:

President Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday that Europeans would not be able to walk safely on the streets if they kept up their current attitude towards Turkey, his latest salvo in a row over campaigning by Turkish politicians in Europe.

Turkey has been embroiled in a dispute with Germany and the Netherlands over campaign appearances by Turkish officials seeking to drum up support for an April 16 referendum that could boost Erdogan's powers.

Ankara has accused its European allies of using "Nazi methods" by banning Turkish ministers from addressing rallies in Europe over security concerns. The comments have led to a sharp deterioration in ties with the European Union, which Turkey still aspires to join.

"Turkey is not a country you can pull and push around, not a country whose citizens you can drag on the ground," Erdogan said at an event for Turkish journalists in Ankara, in comments broadcast live on national television.

"If Europe continues this way, no European in any part of the world can walk safely on the streets. Europe will be damaged by this. We, as Turkey, call on Europe to respect human rights and democracy," he said.

193 Bomb Mecca... turn it into rubble and then keep
bombing to make the rubble bounce. Let them take an object lesson from
that... or not. If they persist, start targeting population centers that
support Islamic terrorism

I strongly disagree with this.

And condemn it in the most emphatic possible way.

201 BTW, it was Europe that promoted the islamicization of Turkey and the continued rise of Erdogan. It was the EU that pressured Turkey to amend its Constitution to take supreme power away from the secular military in order to be considered for EU membership (which was just a joke because the EU was never going to offer Turkey membership - which is the correct thing but the EU didn't have to break secular Turkey just for fun).

Erdogan owes his long-running tyranny to the EU. They made him. They have to live with him.

207 Why do the same people who complain about Putin never do it with Erdogan?

Let us look at this honestly:

1. Erdogan is making threats against Europe and its neighbors
2. Erdogan has been meddling in Syria and Iraq
3. Erdogan has talked a lot about past empires
4. Erdogan has won some rather questionable elections
5. Erdogan has increased his own powers
6. Erdogan has demanded bribes to behave

I mean yet one is the enemy of NATO and the other for some strange reason is still in NATO. And you wonder why some of us view NATO as a farcical alliance system. Even worse unlike Putin, Erdogan is a Islamist!

American military and foreign policy planners need to wake up the reality of today, and stop pretending it is 1980. One prime example: Turkey is not an ally.

303 Back a thread --

These press idiots seem to be taking this whole "wiretap" thing very literally. They do realize no one "taps" into "wires" anymore, so when PDT said wiretap he was using a term which meant any electronic monitoring of communications.

I mean, they seem to be saying that while there may have been monitoring of communications, there was no wiretapping because there was no monitoring of phone lines in Trump Tower, but even if that was happening, it would not be literal "wire - tapping" where you take a wire and tap into it with another wire.

Turkey was never a strong Ally of Israel. Did they ever vote with Israel in the UN? Their basic mutual interest was they had the same enemies and most of their cooperation was on a military basis.
The travel part was not because the turks loved the Israelis, but because it was cheap and close for Israelis to travel there. And t he Turks were happy to have the Israeli money.

So, even if true I do not care if Russia did what the Democrats are accusing them of. If true, they made nothing up.

I should have said "its big resource". I don't know what the trade with water is but Turkey is where it's all at. This has been a big thing in the middle east for some time.

Interesting about a proposed "EU army", particularly if it exists outside of NATO. Turkey, along with Albania, Norway, and Iceland (soon to be joined by the UK), are the only non-EU members in Europe that are part of NATO.

If there is an "EU army" split from US & UK lead NATO, than the US would be obliged to side with Turkey (if the EU makes the first move), against the EU.

Now that would be some interesting wargaming!

Eighty people including George Soros, Steven Rockefeller and Abigail Disney wrote to lawmakers and Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo saying they and other top earners should pay more to support schools, roads, bridges and programs to help poor and homeless residents of the state.

“Now is the time to invest in the long-term economic viability of New York,” the letter reads. “We need to invest in pathways out of poverty and up the economic ladder for all of our fellow citizens, including strong public education from pre-K to college. And, we need to invest in the fragile bridges, tunnels, waterlines, public buildings, and roads that we all depend on.”

The letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, endorses a plan that would create new, higher income tax brackets for top earners to raise a projected $2 billion.

As horrid as Obamunist foreign policy was, it was an understandable--if utterly wrongheaded--backlash against the goo-goo-for-globalism of the Bushyrovies.

Although deciding where the Obamunist was more treasonous, foreign or domestic policy, is a close call, I still say the Obamunist was far more damaging deadly at home than Abroad, from inciting race riots and pitting Citizen against Citizen and non-Citizen, to Making Welfare Parasitism Cool Again.

The Bushyrovies saw their globalism as America wielding a Ring Of Power that could Rremake The World In Their Desired Image.

The Obamunists brought back the view of America as a Pitiful Helpless Giant, which deserved whatever the Turd World sent its way as payback for past sins.

So what's focking stopping them?? Is there some law that says they may not pay more than the minimum the IRS will allow? Or do they not really want to pay more themselves, but want those just slightly above and below them (especially them, the crass social-climbers) on the economic ladder to pay, and pay dearly?
