1. aw.....

[bullimiami]

2. Ouch. Thats harsh since they counted Erdogan as one of their 'friends'.

[Hekate]

3. Who else is he planning to meet with on his tour?

Really curious

[Laelth]

11. Two key people.

Bibi in Israel to assure that the Israelis won’t interfere with the “transition” at Ben Gurion in Tel Aviv, and, then, whichever Emir is hosting Trump in the UAE (his final destination). Note that Pompeo is traveling both to Israel and the UAE.

I don’t KNOW anything. This is just a theory.

4. Turkey bought their last missile system from Russia

I'm guessing the US is history now for Turkey.

[Laelth]

8. Turkey is still a NATO member.

We have medium-range nuclear weapons in Turkey. It’s not that simple.

10. Yes, I know

I did not say it was simple.

13. Urgent: Move US Nuclear Weapons Out Of Turkey

According to The New York Times, State and Energy Department (?) officials last weekend quietly reviewed plans for evacuating the weapons from Incirlik. “Those weapons, one senior official said, were now essentially Erdogan’s hostages. To fly them out of Incirlik would be to mark the de facto end of the Turkish-American alliance. To keep them there, though, is to perpetuate a nuclear vulnerability that should have been eliminated years ago.”

15. This could become a very serious issue.

I hope that the President-elect is being briefed on it.

18. Trumpy-Boy can't be bothered. He's watching TV. n/t

[Laelth]

20. Exactly. That's why we need Biden to be informed. n/t

5. Uh, well

The world knows Pompeo is a lying crook, they dont want to deal with him if they dont have to. If he lived anywhere but here he would be in prison by now.

[Laelth]

6. LOL. That's funny. It's humiliating to us as a nation, but still funny.

Under the present circumstances.

7. They're done with the useful idiot

Throw him to the dust bin of prison.

[Iliyah]

9. LOL . .

[Sherman A1]

12. Darn the luck

[Renew Deal]

14. Erdogan is a double dealer.

And Democrats generally don’t like him. I’m not surprised he’s trying to curry favor.

[Thomas Hurt]

16. aw too bad you fascist pig...

[Lucinda]

17. LOL

[SheltieLover]

19. Hahaha!

[PufPuf23]

21. You are on your own now Mike. nt

[Cha]

22. Brwawahahaha.. Rt TY!

[vapor2]

23. Payback for withholding stuff from Biden

[Solly Mack]

24. Shit happens.

Funny shit.

[ooky]

25. Erdogan, like most strongmen, regard Trump as a coward and a

weakling. Erdogan kicked sand in his face.

[gratuitous]

42. Yup

"I can't be seen with you. You held a free and fair election and got just what you deserved. You don't see me or Kim or Putin running a fair election, numbnuts."

[Gothmog]

26. LOL

[maryellen99]

27. I still think Pompeo is setting up WW3 with Iran nt

[lettucebe]

28. Went to try to confirm this and found articles saying it was Pompeo that

didn't go see Erdogan and it's seen as a snub. So which is it? Who decides who visits whom and do we even really care what that tub-o-lard does? So weird how many of these horrible people want to be president themselves

[Captain Zero]

36. That sounds like what they would SAY

AFTER Erdogan shut them down. They always revise what they were up to.

[yellowcanine]

29. Ouch, that will leave a mark on the pompous Pompeo and on Trumpy. Shit gets real.

[Me.]

30. Wait Till MBS KIcks Jared To The Curb

[sheshe2]

38. He and wifie are not even welcome in NY

Me thinks they will not make it there...It is up to you New York.

[Me.]

43. I Read That & Heard That

Ivanka worked her butt off to be accepted into those circles and now they're dropping her for the criminal she is. I read that she is working her way into Palm Beach society. She can do that all day long but it isn't New York.

[sheshe2]

45. Shindig

[Me.]

46. ++++...

[Illumination]

31. ...Gotta love it!...

[mysteryowl]

32. Actually, a smart decision

[Aussie105]

33. Smart move indeed.

Erdogan needs to get his ducks all in a row for when he gets to talk business with the new administration.

[mysteryowl]

34. Yep, why waist time on the sad one leaving.

[Gothmog]

35. The first of many rejections of trump by foreign leaders

[William769]

37. ...

Thats all.

[elleng]

39. LOVE IT!!!

[FormerOstrich]

40. That's odd...

On Friday I read Erdogan & Ministers were pissed because Pompeo didn't plan on meeting with him. Apparently he was meeting with religious leaders and snubbed Erdogan. Wonder when it circled around.

[Midnight Writer]

41. Good. I was afraid Trump would turn over Turkish dissidents in USA to his buddy Erdogan.

If Erdogan pisses him off, Maybe Trump won't like him anymore.

44. In yo FACE, Pampero!
