Trump CRUSHES Turkey For Defying Him

[Edgetho]

He's not doing our own Markets any good either.

But Turkey is in deep kimchee. Mostly..... No, that's not true. Entirely because they're too stubborn and too stupid to release that Pastor they kidnapped and refuse to release.

For no apparent reason other than to tweak America's nose. And Trump is letting the world know.....

You don't step o Superman's cape, you don't spit into the wind and you don't mess with America. Not with Trump in charge.

Further proof that Trump and his idiot supporters are about one thing; sticking it to someone, anyone.

 

[Stormy Daniels]

According to the OP, Donald is hurting our own economy in vengeance for Turkey defying him. This is grossly irresponsible. That kind of lack of professionalism would get you promptly fired from just about any company.

President Trump uses economic sanctions to crush regimes that are counter to U.S. interests. Bill Clinton preferred to bomb them into the stone age.

 

[Flash]

Turkey has been on the path of going full Muslim batshit crazy for the last few years.

Obama propped up Iran with money and legitimization of the Mullahs and Iran increased its militant Islam influence in the Middle East and losing Turkey is one of the consequences.

This is another Obama foreign policy failure.

Yeah and he failed at that. Nothing like Dubya's shock and awe at all. If you're going to go...go big

 

[Rambunctious]

Turkey is not and has never been our friend...why they were admitted to NATO is a question I'd like answered....The Egyptian government is more a friend than Turkey...

LOL Trump taxes you to punish his enemies? Do you pull your pants down, bend over and ask for more?

Turkey is drifting ever closer to Russia.

But Turkey is in deep kimchee.

Turkey isn't in "deep kimchee" because of anything Trump did, they're in trouble because Erdogan has consistently pressured the Turkish central bank to keep rates low to stimulate growth, even in the face of high levels of foreign currency denominated debt and current account deficits. Had he allowed the central bank to adjust rates and rebalance the economy it wouldn't be facing this crisis (or it wouldn't be nearly as severe).

Unfortunately for the Turks Erdogan isn't going anywhere and there is no indication that he's changed his "growth over long term financial stability" stance.

Trumps tariff threats certainly aren't helping but they also didn't cause these problems.

Turkey is an important U.S. security partner. Turkey has been a valued North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Ally since 1952. Turkey is a leader in the Alliance’s Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan and serves as NATO’s vital eastern anchor, controlling (in accordance with international conventions) the straits of the Bosporus and the Dardanelles, which link the Black Sea with the Mediterranean.

Turkey is also a vital member of the Counter-ISIL Coalition. Since Turkey opened its military bases to the United States and Coalition partners in July 2015, Incirlik Air Base has been critical in the effort to degrade and ultimately destroy ISIL in Syria and Iraq.

Turkey contributes to international security alongside U.S. forces in Afghanistan, the seas off Somalia, and in the Mediterranean. Turkey borders Iran, Iraq, and Syria, and is a key partner for U.S. policy in the surrounding region.

Bilateral Economic Relations

Although overall U.S.-Turkey trade jumped from $10.8 billion in 2009 to $17.4 billion in 2015, it remains modest compared to its potential. Through engagement in mechanisms such as the Framework for Strategic Economic and Commercial Cooperation, the High-Level Committee, and the Economic Partnership Commission, we are working with the Turkish government to deepen our economic relations.

U.S. exports to Turkey include aircraft, iron and steel, agricultural goods, oil, cotton yarn and fabric, and machinery. U.S. imports from Turkey include vehicles, machinery, iron and steel and their products, agricultural goods, travertine, and marble. Reported U.S. direct investment in Turkey is led by the banking and manufacturing sectors.

Although not a member of the European Union (EU), Turkey is a member of the EU’s Common Market.

There must be lots of CHEERING at the Kremlin.......

Nothing like steering the NINTH largest armed forces in the world, to side with Putin.

(Of course, Putin may have ordered Trump to piss Turkey off and into the "warm embrace" of mother Russia......)

Fascinating isn't it that Trump is using our tariff's as retaliation for Turkey jailing a Christian?

It will be interesting to see how much more Trump will abuse our tariff laws for his own personal agenda.

Partially correct, but Trumps' sanctions were the tipping point.

They told the rest of the world that Erdogan isn't a serious leader. You don't tangle with the most powerful economy and the most powerful Military the Planet has ever known unless there's a feckless fag leading it (obama).

Not unless you want an ass-kicking.

Only a leader on the verge of losing it does that.

Absent the idiotic thumbing of their nose at Trump, Turkey pulls itself out of this mess. They've been doing it for over 100 years. At least once a decade.

For Turkey, Crisis Is Nothing New

So your contention is that Turkey is going to abandon it's candidacy for the EU and drop out of NATO in favor of falling into the Sino-Russian orbit because the U.S. has threatened to increase metal tariffs pending the release of a U.S. Citizen it's holding captive?

You do realize the collapse of the Lira isn't being driven by these tariff threats, right?
