Qatar won't buy his planes unless if he sells Turkish Airlines to Qatar, just as he did with a military factory recently, in which case we should be talking of the Qatar Airways, not the Turkish Airlines! Then the Qatar Airways might as well change the decision to buy either Airbus or Embraer, but I doubt it, they fear the Yankees too! It's the protection racket you mentioned earlier, but for the Arabs who cannot build their own factories, it is even worse...

Europe can make a protection racket of its' own by stopping any airline from landing on European airports citing reasons of security, some of which are actually valid, Turkish Airlines has been used to transport weapons...

Maybe Europe should start making a dime out of those landing rights while at the same time funding Turkey's and America's enemies like Iran or the Kurds and funding Open Border leftist groups within the U.S since there is no solidarity or genuine alliance between us. This while working with China, Iran and Russia.

The bulk of the fighters are not Turks. Turkey is mostly coordinating and supporting.

Let me help you on this.

The Syrians have allied themselves with the Kurds and they are chasing the Turks out of their country.

The Turks can never be good.

This time around I shall not accuse you of inventing excuses for your defeat, because the bulk of the "Turkish forces" are indeed ISIS and other Jihadist forces. This is obvious from the way they are committing genocides and running away at the first sign of real resistance...

Turkey agrees to cease-fire that would protect US-allied Kurds in Syria

Yesh, sure, if by "protect", you mean expel, it is accurate.

This is expulsion from their homes, and it is defined as genocide.

They said even more, that the U.S. of A. shall drop all sanctions after Turkey takes over all that corridor, but this is opposing what congress has voted already! Prepare for an outrage...

...Besides, the Syrian army won't abandon what has already been under its' control. Trump acted as if he owned Syria. He does not!

The congressional vote has nothing to do with a ceasefire, and it isn't between the USA and anybody else. That stupid vote is symbolic. Why didn't congress do a symbolic vote to send 50,000 troops there? LOL

Am I reading this wrong or something? We claim to be helping the Kurds by asking them to withdraw from a part of their own territory so that it can be occupied by the Turks? We're withdrawing our sanctions on Turkey and asking the Kurds to give in to Turkish demands and then claiming that our actions are helping the kurds??????

That's a good question, but still the congress makes the laws, and the congress shall push for even more sanctions, whether you like it or not.

You are not reading it wrong. Trump has 119 properties in Turkey. Obviously, the Sultan has cornered him, but the Democrats shall exploit this to the hilt, and there's nothing he can do about it. He proved himself to be vulnerable to foreign infiltration. The Manchurian candidate.
