Erdogan Threatens US With 'Ottoman Slap' Ahead Of Rex Tillerson Visit
2018-02-14
Erdogan referenced the comment in his remarks to parliament led by his Justice and Development party.

“It is very clear that those who say ‘we will respond aggressively if you hit us’ have never experienced an Ottoman slap,” said Erdogan.

The State Department did not immediately return International Business Times' request for comment.

#6  I'll see your "Ottoman Slap" and raise you a wing of B-52s armed with nuclear weapons, escorted by a wing of F-22s and one of F-15s.

#3  Is an "Ottoman Slap" like a "French Mistake"?

#2  Some days, My feelings for Erdogan range from letting him be disappointed by Russia or Iran or anyone. But the past few nights I decided to set him free in the Mediterranean.

On one of those tents the homeless now buy to float around in.

This is a Kings dilemma. Missing a former Ally and worried it defects to something.

But then it defects to no win ever things for the sake of a form of ideology. Islam.

And then I hear the conversations in Europe about the Rogue state as Merkel ties into it destroying the entirety of it with Immigrants sponsored by guess who?

Erdogan.

The G is silent folks.
His name is ErdoWan.

#1  Disturbing an Ottoman's nap?
Beware of his powerful slap
And the awful report
From the bowels of his court
Of incurable caliphate clap.
