This is exactly the kind of intimidation that President Trump was standing up to when he announced the decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. If he bows to it now, he will undo all the good work he has done in finally showing the world that intimidation and bullying are not always how to get its way with the United States.
“Turkish President Erdogan says US must immediately scrap Jerusalem decision,” Agence France-Presse, December 22, 2017 (thanks to Joshua):
Ankara, Turkey: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday asked US President Donald Trump to reverse his decision recognising Jerusalem as Israel’s capital after a UN vote overwhelming rejected the move.
Erdogan had earlier called on UN member states not to be swayed by Trump’s threat to cut funding for countries that backed the motion at the UN General Assembly.
“We welcome with great pleasure the UN General Assembly’s overwhelming support… We expect the Trump administration to rescind without further delay its unfortunate decision, whose illegality has been clearly established,” Erdogan said on Twitter.
“I am calling on the whole world: never sell your democratic will in return for petty dollars,” he had said in a televised speech in Ankara before the vote.
The US decision on December 6 broke with international consensus and unleashed protests across the Muslim world, prompting a flurry of appeals to the United Nations.
At an emergency session Thursday, the UN General Assembly adopted the motion rejecting Trump’s decision by 128 votes to nine, with 35 abstentions.
The measure was sent to the General Assembly after it was vetoed by the United States at the Security Council on Monday, though all other 14 council members voted in favour.
Trump warned that Washington would closely watch how nations voted, suggesting there could even be reprisals for countries that backed the motion which was put forward by Yemen and Turkey on behalf of Arab and Muslim countries.
Erdogan accused Trump of making “threats”….
Bodega says
It would seem he might be p*****g in the wind. I just love Trump and what he is doing.
I don’t like Erdegan in any way shape or form He is not an honest broker….but then he is Muslim and wouldn’t be an honest broker.
Jack K Warner says
“Turkish President Erdogan” May have a second name ”Mad Dog” and absolute out of his mind-but what else can the free world expect from a terror inspired terrorist……
Islam and all what it stand for will destroy the freedom in the whole world-if we don’t stop it NOW…..
Export all Muslims back to the native countries and let them do what ever they want to each other, but let the free world stay in peace and freedom for this extreme way of existing…..
Carolyne says
Erdogan is the mouse that roared.
Jim Mcgill says
Islamist Terrorist boss Erdogan is not the “mouse that roared, he is more like the”rat that whined” !
p bay says
Er dog breath is NOT going to get Trump to reverse the decision, no matter how many millions pour into Merkelville. I suspect Soros is funding all this
Lydia Church says
Erdogan:
DREAM ON!
Just don’t hold your breath because it won’t happen.
Emilie Green says
Erdogan (with the emphasis on the “dog” part) thinks he’s gonna yank Trump’s chain?
If nothing else Trump won’t reverse the decision out of sheer spite for this antic alone. But this whole thing is a lot larger than this tyrant. A sovereign country doesn’t have the authority to choose its own capital? And other countries don’t have the prerogative to accede to the host country’s decision?
Well, not to the Muslim mind. Trump will each them a lesson.
Terry Gain says
Dog’s are Man’s Best Friend. Erdogan is a Muslim Beast. Anyone who, post Holocaust, does not support the right of Jews to live peacefully in the sanctuary of their homeland is morally depraved. We are living in an inverted world.
WESTPAC Spy says
“Dog’s are Man’s Best Friend.”
This is precisely why dogs are considered filthy, unclean animals. According to Muslim legend Muhammad (I’m with Robert Spencer as I don’t think Muhammad existed and in addition I think the entire thing including their holy book was invented much later to justify the Arab conquests and to hold their empire together) ordered all dogs in or near Medina to be killed.
Islam teaches hatred for everything good and life affirming.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Dogs are good judges of character, and can sniff out something evil and wrong from far away.
No wonder mo wanted rid of them all.
Philip Copson says
“making threats” ? Since when has not rewarding people with money been the same thing as “threatening” them ?
This is the infantile logic of the self-obsessed, and is generally on display from Labour-run councils in the UK: they demand ever more money from central government, and when the increase is less than they ask for, they claim that “funding has been cut”. (Not that this ever stops them shovelling the money into their own pockets, of course.)
WESTPAC Spy says
Since it’s the season:
He’s making a list,
He’s checking it twice,
He’s going to find out who’s funding to slice
Donald Trump is coming to town
Moshe says
It will be good in the long run that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan hasso markedly escalated his rhetoric in opposition to US policy and interests. After all, clarity is good. The Erdogan government has systematically undermined the former secular and Western-oriented Republic of Turkey — once a pillar of NATO — to rule by fear and fiat based on the precepts of political Islamism.
That said, it is unfortunate that our hands are tightly tied: America and the West need Turkey as an ally in an unstable region. Thus, the brave Kurds are ever left in the lurch. President Trump’s surrogates at the State Department and in the Pentagon will paper over fundamental differences with Erdogan’s post-secular Turkey in an effort to forestall a complete rupture in relations.
With Russian forces in Syria (thanks to the policies of former President Obama) it is a fundamental US interest to tread lightly in Turkey. The US military base there is essential to the entire theater. We must look the other way.
Diane says
Hi, Moshe. -You obviously know more about this subject than I do….but I was hoping we could make a clean break from Turkey. Do you believe we truly have no other creative options to distance ourselves from them? Do we really just have to “look the other way”? I’m being serious, when I ask you this. I can tell that you are well-versed on this subject (and I am not). I am just hoping that someone, anyone (especially in our Govt/Military) can brainstorm, to find another viable strategy, to deal with this menace. Thank you for your time.
Dwight Hogg says
The US is almost self-sufficient in oil and if the oil sands in Canada were to be used as it should be North America would not need any ME oil. Shutting the oil sands down would not make one iota of difference in the world’s emissions. In fact the emissions coming from the tanker shipment of Saudi oil is probably more. North American, Mexican and South America could be self-sufficient and then we wouldn’t be paying the Saudis to build all the fanatical Wahhabi mosques going up all over Europe and North America preaching their hate and genocide.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
It is interesting that you write about oil. I recently read an article that explained what was happening in the middle by looking at the various plans for natural gas pipelines in the region. Many of those plans run lines through post-Kemalist Turkey.
Those in “bigness” (the combination of big business and big government) think they are clever enough to deal with the devil and come out of it unscathed. Maybe they should have taken a few history courses rather than all those business and accounting courses.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Turkey has been a good place to keep some Western forces for quite a while now, but might it not be time for a change? Georgia has been very pro western, Southern Cyprus has no love for Turkey, and Israel itself is right there in the middle of it all…..Moshe, what do you think?
b.a. freeman says
Moshe, one must sometimes make hard decisions in war. i remember how shocked i was to learn that the aircraft on an aircraft carrier are only expected to last a few hundred hours of flight time in a war, and the aircraft carriers and their task forces only a couple of months before they are sunk. when one’s survival is at stake, resources take on a wholly different look. islam declared war on non-muslims 1400 years ago; pious muslims have been fairly quiescent since 1922 or thereabouts, but they are reverting to their normal depraved behavior, so we non-muslims have some tough choices to make.
first of all, we in the western hemisphere should indeed begin using our oil resources. not all non-muslim countries are so blessed; in fact, if memory serves, most of eurabia gets it oil products from either russia or the middle-eastern pirates. the monsters in saudi arabia have been spending large sums of money spreading their poisonous cult over the past several decades, so we *should* blockade the enemy’s country, and include turkey in that blockade. once they have been reduced to a subsistence level, we should then occupy their hellholes. islam should be outlawed, and the imans imprisoned for life. needless to say, we should plan for the occupation to take at least 200 years so that islam can be completely stamped out.
of course, that will *never* happen, so we will have to settle for second-best. second-best would be that rational non-muslim countries would throw the uncivilized islamic countries of the OIC out of the UN, and that rational eurabian countries would throw turkey out of NATO. the former is no loss at all, since the UN is worthless, anyway, and the latter, although costly in terms of the loss of the air bases as izmir and incirlik, is worthwhile because we don’t want the enemy to be able to seize our aircraft or personnel. we might be able to talk the people of cyprus into hosting a replace for izmir, and the people of israel into hosting a replacement for incirlik. even if neither replacement happens, an aircraft carrier stationed in the eastern med might be of some replacement value.
realistically, i don’t expect anything rational to happen for quite some time. perhaps after eurabia has become embroiled in multiple civil wars going on at once, somebody might think to verify the pacifism of islam, but i’m not holding my breath. civilization appears to be doomed.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Rodos is also an historically significant outpost against mohammedanism. And Malta, a place where a military presence is not unknown.
They are connected to the EU though…so i guess we can consider them under islamic control.
With a bit of will, it might not be that hard to find a place to run out of other than the burgeoning islamic state of turkey. (Sad, since there are very many western minded Turks who are great, and don’t want anything to do with sharia).
Even the permanent carrier group isn’t that far fetched an idea, if the US wants to have more stuff out there.
LeftisruiningCanada says
The idea of having a large fleet off the coast from Tel Aviv, and moving everything out of turkey into a huge base in Israel or Cyprus does have a certain feel good factor to it too.

No…. Otherwise to to Turkey for our foreign policy

Of course, “Moshe” is pretending that Turkey is an ally of ours.
IQ al Rassooli says
Let me now share with you an astounding fact missed by all the so called experts in politics regarding the UN resolution against the USA moving its embassy to Jerusalem.
Of 192 voting nations in the UN, 128 were against the USA, 9 with and 35 abstentions. All the media and experts called it a resounding defeat for the USA and of course especially President Trump.
What these brain dead experts have not calculated are the following:
From 128 against, we must deduct 57 Muslim majority dysfunctional states that very obviously would like Jerusalem divided so as to have the Temple Mount under their control. This results in the following~
Against the USA 71 states.
For the USA, abstentions and not participating 64 states
This makes it a resounding defeat for the Muslims and Arabs because ONLY 7 extra states colluded with them to make it a ‘majority’
What is very disgusting and incomprehensible of all is the fact that most Christian nations – especially the ungrateful Europeans – supported a resolution allowing the DIVISION of Jerusalem which is the holiest place for Jews and Christians to be forever under the control of the most ardent haters of Jews and Christians called Muslims.
The USA under Trump should never support financially UNGRATEFUL Dysfunctional countries that pretend to be holier than the US while receiving charity from American tax payers. Let Erdogan compensate them

another important fact overlooked is the absence of Embassies in Israel of many of the countries who voted YES, only a handful of the 56 + 1 OIC nations have embassies there, and only 3 countries of the whole M.E. do,
why should they think they have any say in the matter ?
they are all fired up about the effects this may have on the “peace process”,
but make no efforts towards it, other than condemning Israel and the USA.

Yep, good point IQ. It was a vote between east and west, and Europe tilted it towards the east. Shame on them.
Dwight Hogg says
The US has poured billions into Palestine to try and help the people and get zero thanks. If Palestinians ever had the chance they would annihilate every man, woman and child in Israel. The Hamas doctrine is the complete destruction of Israel. The media interviewed people going to the Arab Idol concert just west of Toronto and all those interviewed spewed blind hatred of Jews and Israel.
Mockingjay says
Well I’m sorry, but I still think that no less than 71 non-muslim states voting AGAINST this is bloody SHOCKING and no reason for cheer whatsoever. – Especially since almost ALL of (Western) Europe voted AGAINST – the lands where the most gruesome crimes against Jews were committed only some 75 or so years ago.
– So – hey Germany – where’s that “historic responsibility” that you like to talk about so incessantly now?
– I despise ALL of you: Germany, Sweden, France, the Netherlands, the UK, Switzerland, Belgium, and all the rest OF YOU BLOODY LOT.

In the European countries that their language derives from the Latin and in Italy call erdogan with the nice nickname MERDogan, where “merd” in our language means shit in English, the name is more than appropriate for the evil animal afro-Asia. Less evil that has declined your aspirations to become part of Europe, since several nations like France would not have accepted Turkey in Europe, are not European, are a mass of barbarians and our nations of the Mediterranean do not want anything to do with the one who has been robbed,sacked, killed whole populations,burned the city and made slaves the inhabitants for resale, for centuries and centuries campando on our shoulders, why the Turks only criminals knew to do as work. I hope It goes away from Nato, and trump face so that the technology of the F35 does not fall into his hands, because Turkey is developing and copying for reverse engineering own weapons from small quantities imported as the helicopter to129 Italiano, the armoured tank and the howitzer Korean, the Italian Corvette, the helicopter anti-tank cobra and the Hunting F16 American, go to buy by the Russians and the Chinese, seen that are peoples equally bad, governed by parties unique with printing muzzled and opponents in prison, both between Muslims,Chinese and Soviet ex the boundary is labile, without forget the other countries where Sharia law is the law of the state. PS, if anyone has ever asked why and what served small castles and watchtowers on the shore of the sea in the European side of the Mediterranean, and the small towns built in places that were unthinkable as the peaks of mountains?. mori, North Africans,Ottoman Turks, Berbers have to do with all this

Always good to hear from you, Ibrahim. Do you still think the Caliphate is a real thing, or did that myth explode for you in Raqqa?

Actually, the US gives much more that this amount in foreign aid. (Whether in all cases we should or not is another issue).
In any case, it is hilarious that Ibrahim itace muhammed is always saying that the US and other Western nations are poverty-stricken hell holes because we do not follow Shari’ah finance.
If only we did–then we could be as well off as Somalia or Yemen! sarc/off
More:
Take your $13 and pay for lawsuits for sexual assaults.

Also grimly hilarious. In the civilized world, you can report sexual assault, and if serious it will be prosecuted. It can, clearly, also have other repercussions, as with one’s employer. All decent people condemn such behavior.
Just try reporting rape in the Muslim world–the *victim* will wind up imprisoned or even stoned to death in many cases.
The specter of Ibrahim itace muhammed sneering at the US for the recent sexual scandals here is grotesque, in any case, since he has affirmed that Muslims may rape Infidels and keep them as sex slaves, just as the “Prophet” Muhammed used to do.
What he is really sneering at, clearly, is our taking sexual abuse seriously, and considering it a bad thing.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Yes, evil United States was seriously humiliated. Look at this savage mad idiot Trump threatening the whole world with cut or stoppage of token $13 billion aids. Take the money and pay for sexual assaults lawsuits.

Your understanding comes from your worldview and not Trumps. From your point of view he was humiliated, from his point of view he was not.
As for sexual assault lawsuits.
In Islam a woman is not permitted to say ‘no’ to her husband and every kuffr woman is fair game.
That’s not a way of life we want in the West.

Erdogan and Obama era, with Turkish dollars, Turkey built a 100 million dollar mosque in Maryland, on the river facing Washington DC, here’s the link:Diyanet Center of America……https://diyanetamerica.org/
It may be ornate but what lies beneath what can be hidden is what scares me, many mosques have been involved in having a large cache of weapons, having this so close to our nations Capitol is just wrong like all mosques in America. Remember people, every piece of American land becomes an Islamic state by running each place as in the Middle East with all of sharia law as the forefront of education to its followers.
By bringing in foreign Imam’s who are spreading the hate towards our nation why should Americans have to accept this theocracy that wants nothing more than to destroy our way of life, history and culture.

Russia, Turkey, and Iran are all trying to resuscitate collapsed, bankrupt, and corrupt empires. Remove all of our assets from Turkey. Stop all arms and tech help to Turkey. Turkey and Iran would like to claim they are the king of the muslim world poop pile, and should control the “holy places” of islam. The arabs and other countries of the region suffered greatly under Persians and Turks and want nothing to do with them. The Turks and Persians have batted for centuries with the Russians over who rules the area and resources.
Historically, Russia was either Eastern Orthodox Christian or atheist communist. Neither will sit well with muslims. This will be a very brief marriage of convenience. They will soon be at each other’s throats. Let them battle it out and we stay out of it.
We made a grave error in WW2 by supporting Stalin. We should have let Hitler and Stalin fight to complete exhaustion. We need to let the dictators fight it out and stay out of it. Erdogan, Putin, and the Ayatollahs are not our friends, never have been, never will be.

Under Erdogan the country will fall apart. At present there is still growth and he is flaunting himself on the back of Turkey’s much improved and growing economy.
However, tourism has all but collapsed and this is the country’s main source of income. The more he waves his Muslim credentials the more tourists book up for Spain, Malta, the Canaries and other places where they will not find Muslim problems.
Reports are drifiing back to UK of problems with religious enforcement and Turkey’s involvement with ISIS.
Sensible tourists keep away from extremist areas and in a few years they will be suffering in the same way as Egypt.
