    fwiw, I don't really get why DJT is so keen to piss off Turkey.

    I agree that it's a financial attack by the US, not sure I see the strategy, but maybe there's not one.
    like so many other half-assed, no-brained, "what are consequences?" , he does stuff, gratuitously, just because he can

    Similar stuff is already happened here in US

    Facebook/google marriage to Atlantic Council
    Now that we’ve opened the door for ordinary users, politicians, ex-security-state creeps, foreign governments and companies like Raytheon to influence the removal of content, the future is obvious: an endless merry-go-round of political tattling, in which each tribe will push for bans of political enemies.

    Now the line is gone. Depending on the platform, one can be banned for “glorifying violence,” “sowing division,” “hateful conduct” or even “low quality,” with those terms defined by nameless, unaccountable executives, working with God Knows Whom.


    The platforms will win popular support for removals by deleting jackasses like Jones. Meanwhile, the more dangerous censorship will go on in the margins with fringe opposition sites — and in the minds of reporters and editors, who will unconsciously start retreating from wherever their idea of the line is.

    US generals have said it would be a disaster if Turkey purchases the S400 anti aircraft system from Russia

    This is because Turkey would be basically marrying Russian defensive weapos for the next decades. Obviously this is terrible for US military comples. Especially if Turkeys deployment is successful and other countries push more orders(pakistan, india, saudi)

    This has nothing to do with Trump the poor bas cant even spell s400

    Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow and former top advisor Mike Flynn

    share ties to both Mueller's probe and

    tensions over a US pastor detained by Turkey



    • One of Trump's lawyers in the Russia probe, Jay Sekulow, also serves as chief counsel at a conservative legal organization representing Brunson.
    • The Wall Street Journal reported that one of Trump's former advisors, Mike Flynn, has caught Mueller's eye for his alleged involvement in a plan to deliver exiled Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen back to Turkey.
    • Turkey accuses Brunson of being connected to Gulen.

    What really hammers your point home is the likely out of context pic. Do you even Buzzfeed?
