US senators move to punish Turkey with 'sanctions from hell' over Syria offensive
2019-10-11
[PRESSTV] American senators are preparing a bill that would punish The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund...
with "sanctions from hell" over its decision to mount an invasion against America’s Kurdish allies in northern Syria.

Turkey on Wednesday began pounding positions of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) with jets and artillery and sent in troops to purge them from the area east of Eauphrates.

The offensive came three days after US President Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
in a sudden change of policy told his counterpart His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...
that he would pull US troops from the region, effectively exposing the Kurdish snuffies to their archenemy, Turkey.

Shortly after the attack began, a bipartisan group of senators brought legislation that would freeze all assets Erdogan and other Ottoman Turkish leaders have in the US and impose visa restrictions until Ankara withdraws from Syria.

It would also slap sanctions on entities that do business with Turkey's military or support its domestic energy industry for use by its armed forces.

#3  In his response to the prank callers Graham committed a Kinsley Gaffe.
He deserves our respect on this.

Also note how close Fusion is to Russian pranksters. Is there any doubt anymore that the DNC and its auxiliary Fusion are in cahoots with foreign agents who seek to overturn our democratic processes?

Shitshow etc
