the bar was set so low by BVS and Suicide Squad. I won't mention it which should not be named (pssst...the "green" one..)

Friends of the IDF subject - I'm not military or ex-military but I imagine at least some in the US must feel like they're a colony of Israel. True the US gives everyone money, but it is always accompanied by conditions. Israel is the only one that reverses that and puts conditions on the americans. Also none of the other client states are allowed to buy congress or fund their campaigns. If Russia tried tha....nvm, forgot that the US now has a Russian bought President.
I guess the US is up for sale. Let the highest bidder win.

Otherwise what's the point?

Err...not to P&R. There are no points here. Even if there were, they wouldn't matter. Like Whose Line...? without a funny host or contestants.

So very little like Whose Line, actually. But still.

Of all the places in the Middle East there isn't too many that are America friendly. So why destroy relations with more countries ?

You would think if you live in the Middle East. It would be better to be with the USA than against USA. But endless war and suffering seems to be the MO.

They're spending billions on regathering their influence in the ex-ottoman empire states. The US had Turkey at bay with its heavy presence in the region. With Trump's return to isolationism and flipping the previous dynamics of the geopolitics of the region on its head, Turkey is in full Ottoman mode.

Look at the way their media is spending their money - box office hit after box office hit about the crusades, salahudin, the old muslim empires, the ottoman empires, and on social media they're trying to brainwash the arab populace. All this only a year after Trump. God help us

I don't know we have to keep North Korea in check. We'll get to peace in the Middle East later.

Because I know you actually care more than you pretend, if you're interested in a bit of Viking history I recommend this book. Certainly not all-encompassing, but it's a very good overview of key points. And has some great Viking insults to boot.

My knowledge of Turkey is from the Travel Channel. So I consider myself an expert already.
