5. From the Circular File: Some numbers
(10.17.19)
Following is a list of current numbers of US Troops in the Middle East:
Bahrain: 7,000
Iraq: 5,200
Jordan: 2,800
Kuwait: 13,000
Oman: 300
Saudi Arabia: 500 (with an additional 500 on the way)
Syria: 1,900 (originally 2,000 but Trump removed 100 troops from Northern Syria)
United Arab Emirates: 5,000
Turkey: actual number of US troops not available/unknown but given that Turkey and the USA are both NATO members there are USA bases in Turkey.

Total number of known US Troops in the Middle East, excluding Turkey, currently stands at 48,000 once additional US Troops land in Saudi Arabia that number increases to 48,500.
Additionally there are currently 14,000 troops in Afghanistan.

Bringing the regional total to: 62,500 USA troops. This figure excludes US presence in Turkey and also excludes US undercover & US Special Ops troop figures.

Only an American as naive as you might believe that Erdogan was a nice guy and the Turks a peaceful people. Unfortunately, it is too late to rectify. Now the whole planet knows that this man is a wild beast eager for human flesh and blood, whose chief objective is to rebuild the arch-tyrannical ancient Ottoman Empire, (including Israel, Egypt and North Africa), the same man who without any scruple will put all the European countries on their knees with the threat of throwing 3 million Syrian refugees on their heads, yes, all ... except the inspired United Kingdom.

Mr. Trump, honestly, you have been the tough and fool guy in this dramatic story, and before things go from bad to worse, the best thing you can do is recover the 50 nuclear warheads you have in Turkey ... if you still can do it.

10. not exactly a letter from a statesman

the language is of a simple bully - and he doesn't even know to be embarrased
wow!
11. The idiocy of Erdogan.
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn Holland   (10.19.19)
By throwing away a letter from Trump is evidence that Erdogan is idiot, crazy, mad and criminal.

The United Kingdom, like Israel long ago, has just broken the chains that held it captive of the pretentious new remake of the very old, corrupt and smelly Roman Empire.

But this but the beginning of what is coming. In a few weeks, a handful of non-EU countries will knock on the doors of HM the Queen willing to establish preferential trade relations with Her Kingdom, and one of them will even ask for help to rebuild its lost Navy, and also to install a HMNB in an old magnificent port, today almost abandoned and derelict.

At these historically unique moments, two other EU countries are mulling of following the steps of the UK.

The UK is about to collectively know that for humans there is nothing comparable to sail the seas right at the edge of the bow where the ship cuts the waters in two.

Twenty years ago, a madman dreamed jubilantly with a new Rome. Today those dreams have vanished like hashish smoke. No surprise, chronic drug addicts have no possible rehabilitation.
