What's funny is that if Trump actually did come down hard on Erdogan he'd be criticized for being a heavy handed rear end in a top hat violating international law and threatening the leader of a sovereign nation.

That's because a Trump intervention would involve frantically kramering into a hail of bullets lol. Good ideas require good execution too

thanks "the war on terror" for making us the bitches of turkey

further proof that nothing good will come of the US's policies since 9/11

is there any actual way to change our course? and real way to extract ourselves from what seems so surely to be our own undoing?

it already happened twice under obama. 2014 and 2016. i don't think many people heard about it, nor would it seem to imply that anything at all will be done about it

A similar incident, though apparently less severe, did happen just over a year ago and was pointed out earlier in the thread. Snopes' coverage mentions how there was also an incident in Ecuador. Trump doesn't have a hand in every bad thing that happens, even if he is an incompetent embarrassment of a Chief Executive.

I haven't read up on the 2014 event but the 2016 event was almost yelling-only. This is dozens of guards swarming and beating protesters. There's no comparison.

"Similarly, some Erdoğan supporters intended to call the Rotterdam police department and make the operators force to listen to religious and nationalistic Turkish songs. However, they mistakenly called the police department of the Town of Rotterdam in New York State, United States."
