Source: The Guardian

Donald Trump has warned Turkey of economic devastation if it attacks Kurdish forces in the wake of the US troop pullout from Syria, while also urging the Kurds not to “provoke” Ankara.

“Will devastate Turkey economically if they hit Kurds,” Trump tweeted, while pushing for the creation of a 20-mile ‘safe zone’. He then added: “Likewise, do not want the Kurds to provoke Turkey.”

Trump did not detail who would create, enforce or pay for the safe zone, or where it would be located.

1. Oh, BS

He'll kiss Erdogan's ass anytime.

[applegrove]

2. He's putting a band aid on his rash and uninformed foreign policy. Public threats

are not foreign policy.

[Judi Lynn]

3. Isn't he just the kind of President everyone looks up too?

He seems so strong in his tweets!

He's in charge of the whole world!

He can do anything he wants, all the time.

He's our hero!

[crazytown]

4. A hero to all concerned about their little sticks.

Make my penis great again.

[Botany]

8. So much stupid in one person

It is hard to understand

[democratisphere]

10. Only if putin gives him permission when they get together for

top secret fireside chats!

[The Wizard]

19. What kind of a nut brags

about having small man parts?

[KY_EnviroGuy]

24. Goodwill stores and charities are going to be overloaded with....

used Trump tee shirts and ball caps......

I pity folks in homeless shelters that are forced to re-purpose this shit......

[JI7]

5. Trump did not detail who would create, enforce or pay for the safe zone, or where it would be locate

of course he didn't because he is just spewing empty shit to make himself look good or save his ass in the moment.

but the media will probably have a serious discussion on this safe zone now .

[crazytown]

6. Mexico

It’s all thought bubbles.

[rpannier]

7. If he invests in the Turkish economy devastation will follow

Just like every other venture he's gotten involved in

[Scarsdale]

12. The powers that be in Turkey

really should listen to him. Look what he has done to the USA already. We are on the verge of collapse, and he is supposed to represent us!!!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

27. The Dotard is the one who needs to be devastated economically.

[CozyMystery]

9. Reminds me of Charlottesville - no provoking Turkey, Kurds!

This sort of exchange between Turkey and the US should not be occurring on Twitter.

[truthisfreedom]

11. All he has to do is what he's doing here!

Crash the stock market, shut down the government, sow total discontent, divide the people.

[Scarsdale]

13. Amen.

It is as though we are the prototype for world devastation under Don the Con.

[Grokenstein]

14. Remember, this is the guy who said...

...trade wars are easy to win!

[Mc Mike]

15. Everything he touches turns to tRump.

[duforsure]

16. Hell, he's doing that

Here in the USA for putin now. The shutdown is being done by trump to intentionally hurt this country for putin. Its not about the wall, its about helping putin get his revenge against us, and trump is clearly a traitor to this country by helping him do this to us. He should be considered a terrorist, and sent straight to Gitmo .

[watoos]

17. Trump does have a tower in Turkey,

at least he has his name on a tower. All Erdogan has to do is threaten to remove Trump's name or to take over the tower and Trump will do his bidding...and poor Jimmy Carter had to sell his beloved peanut farm. IOKIYAR.

Putin is probably dictating Trump's Tweets since Trump's mental issues are getting worse.

[Lonestarblue]

20. Trump would cave at the first hint that Turkey might retaliate against his business.

Members of Erdogan’s government suggested last August that the government should confiscate the Trump interests in Istanbul.

[The Wizard]

18. Right after

he gets the check from Mexico to pay for his vanity wall.

[aka-chmeee]

21. So, he plans to have Putin install him as Turkey's President? /nt

[KY_EnviroGuy]

22. And, Turkey responds with this....

Turkey dismisses Trump threat to economy over Syrian Kurds

Read here: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-46860902

(snip)

Turkey has dismissed President Donald Trump's threat to "devastate" its economy if it attacks Kurdish forces in Syria following a planned pullout of US troops.

"You cannot get anywhere by threatening Turkey economically," Foreign Minister Nevlut Cavusoglu said.

This article is a good brief review of the situation in Syria......

23. The only thing Trump can devastate is...

...a Big Mac or a bucket of KFC.

25. My conundrum and the Kurds

In my reading (for pleasure) I have developed an interest in the
hierarchy of a Chrestus character. This Chrestus is the full brother
of King Mithridates VI (the Poison King). The curiosity is from
King Mithridates took his full sister for a wife and left town.
When he returned he discovered that Chrestus and the sister
got together and had a son who was then called Chrestus.
Keep in mind, their mother, the wife of King Mithridates V
was a Persian girl with origins further south which could include
Palestine. A Chrestus became "king of Cappadocia", but this Cappadocia
becomes an elusive territory and not easily outlined. The last king
of Cappadocia died in Rome in A.D. 17 and fits the vague description
of the Patriarch Jacob.

Maybe we should be careful if we want to allow the extinction
of the Kurds, and I do not know who they are, I just read and have
no qualms about going to hell.

26. LOL Two asses give you one huge ass

[marble falls]

28. What's he going to do: become President of Turkey???

[Monsieur_Grumpe]

29. I'm sure China will be glad to have more customers

Is there any country tRump hasn't isolated?

[Mopar151]

30. Uuday and Qusay were so looking forward to Kurd hunting

With Papa's friend Erdogan......

[lark]

31. Bolton told him to say this and it's a total lie.

He's already given Turkey carte blanche on killing the Kurds, he just told them they have to give it at least xx days, then attack all they want. He only asks Erdogan that they frame this as stopping terrorism so he can shake his head and say it's so sad, but they are Muslim terrorists and there wasn't a thing we could do to stop their mass murders by Turkey.
