Our NATO ally.
“Former Turkish deputy PM: The death of America is nearing,” SCF, August 23, 2018 (thanks to Joshua):
Former Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Hakan Çavuşoğlu said the United States would soon be finished and that Turkey does not fear the power of the US dollar, according to a report by the Cumhuriyet daily on Thursday.
Turkey is embroiled in a diplomatic dispute with NATO ally the US over the imprisonment of several US citizens and a range of other issues. The row has contributed to the fall in the Turkish lira, already battered by worries over the independence of the central bank and the government’s unwillingness to push up interest rates to tackle inflation.
“States like people are born, grow and die. … Hey America, you have been born, have grown and your death is approaching,” Çavuşoğlu told a crowd at an Eid Al-Adha celebration. The evidence for this included the United States’s failed project to prop up Kurdish rebels in Syria as well as its failure to stop Turkey from buying air defense systems from Russia, Çavuşoğlu said.
“This nation does not fear the dollar, this nation did not fear tons of tanks or heaps of iron,” he said and added: “With God’s blessing we will overcome this. This increase in the dollar is completely artificial.”…

I agree. It is just a matter of time. The dollar is way overpriced, and possibly has less real value than the lira. That may seem a gross exaggeration until you look at the real numbers: US debt; US average household debt; real full time employment figures; US unfunded liabilities debt, etc. Total debt: Over 113 TRILLION USD, and growing by leaps and bounds.When the US loses the petro dollar and some powerful angered nations start selling off US debt big time the game is up.
Dave says
Most other currencies are just as bad position. so the dollar stays the king until govt cannot service the debt

I’d say Turkey has its foot farther in the grave than the U.S. does right now and if I held any mutual funds with a large exposure to the Turkish market, I’d be selling right away …. like yesterday …. and I wouldn’t go back until Erdogan is … maybe not in his grave but at least down on his knees and showing some humble submission.

“Hey America, you have been born, have grown and your death is approaching,” Çavuşoğlu told a crowd at an Eid Al-Adha celebration” muzzies —-celebrating a “holy day” which is supposed to include
“purity of heart” and “charity”

Eid Ad-Adha is “celebrated” by slaughtering animals in the streets until they run red with blood.

Rather reminiscent of the boasting we used to hear from that chap in Iraq – Saddam Hussein. Remind me what happened to him?

What planet are these people living on?? I would never bet against the USA, its greatness, its people, our military, and our integrity!! And our faith in the Lord alrighty! ??????????

Amen!

They’re absolutely correct. Especially if we continue to do nothing about the indoctrination of our children (the FUTURE) into embracing their own demise.
When millions of these idiots churned out of the indoctrination camps vote, WTF does anyone think is going to happen? It sure as fk isn’t going to get better for anyone.

As Geert Wilders said in the Dutch Parliament a few years ago:
“‘dictator Erdogan is a complete freak ” ( as well as his Government )
Renate says
Geert Wilders is right about a lot of things.

The USA may well be finished one day, but (according to the UK press) the Turkish business community in London is already approaching shut-down because the lira crisis is hitting supplies, and no doubt the same applies elsewhere. So perhaps Hakan Çavuşoğlu should be paying attention to his own back yard.

Typical Muslim rant of hate and drivel..

Yep.

We heard so much of this sort of stuff before the 1st Gulf War. It seems as if bragging and boasting is par for the course for Muslims and anyone with any sense takes absolutely no notice.
Saddam Husseim bragged and boasted about possessing weapons of mass destruction which fooled Bush and Blair. He was actually doing all the bragging to impress and intimidate Iran, his erstwhile foe. Bush and Blair fell for this stupid boasting, even thought their weapons inspectors maintained that there was no sign of weapons of MD, and that is how we ended up in the incredible mess which now engulfs the Middle East.
Russell says
I just hate to think that he’s right about America. When I think about all of the young people I know, and about how they reacted to the “Make America Great Again” slogan, I fear that he might he right when he says that America is dying. I remember a nutty yoga lady who said “Make America Great Again??? I’d rather go crazy!!!” She said that on Facebook and all of her pals loved it. We are living in an age of moral idiocy.

There are a lot of patriotic Americans here. Don’t give up on us yet.
Guy Forester says
Our demise is certain to occur, but when? Turkey is really a turkey, and Erdogan and his puppets are the biggest turkeys of all.
I say, pull everything out of Turkey. The Russians, Iranians, and Turks all vie for the same regional dominance. I know I sound like a broken record. However, these three will have a very short romance as each one thinks the other two are expendable pawns and too stupid to see they are being used. All three have opposed ideologies.
I can guarantee one thing: NO ONE anywhere wants a revival of the Ottoman Turk empire other than a bunch of deranged Turks. It is true that when properly led and trained, the Turks are truly formidable opponents in battle. However, when poorly led and trained, they do not fare any better than anyone else if they come up against a well trained and led force. That being said, there is not enough gold, silver, platinum, oil, or anything else that would compensate for the folly of trying to invade Turkey.
Minimize our relationship, no more military or other support, and let the Turks figure it out for themselves. You cannot force freedom, liberty, equality, or religious freedom on others. They need to want these.

You’re right. Just go to http://www.utt.com. That is: Understanding the Threat. John Guandolo, who heads this oraniza-tion up, is a former FBI specialist in basic Muslim doctrine and.action. You will learn the skinny from him and follow his action plan to fight this very real threat.

Hey Hakan, you are a turkey and starvation is coming to your Islamic country. The arrogance of this country is because of appeasing them earlier. Big talk, Bin Laden was a bigger threat, but now he lies somewhere in the bottom of the ocean.

There is room to say bad things about America. WE have led by an Islamic, homosexual,lier, mass murderer, gut less lazy bitch for 8 years. The media in lock step.Christian leaders afraid to speak out for fear of being called a racist.A clown that spent most of his time bent over bowing to other countries , getting up at noon , having lunch with the VP.and heading off to play golf or go on vacation. The only other leader in western history that lazy was Hitler.On that note Hussain passed the same health care system of the Third Reich. Do your homework. The junk science of the of the death camps came from Clod Harbor NY. And run by IBM technology. Silly Americans have no idea how close they were to a death camp. Hillary would never kill Americans. Check out the autopsies on the folks at the church in Waco Texas.Who gases men ,women ,and children and burns them alive besides the Nazis.The real problem is not the Killing bitches of the world it is the Stupid dead poor basterds that vote them into power.
