    We should absolutely leave. Turkey can't be trusted.

    You can trust Turkey far better than the US. I mean... all that the US stood for under the Obama administration, just flip flopped under Trump. Odds are that the next dem president will flip it all back again.

    If we were trying to destroy you, you wouldn't have electricity right now, to say nothing of internet service.

    Maybe, if he can be bothered to stop obsessing over Mueller for 5 minutes.

    What is the evidence against him?
    The US does have extradition agreements with some countries, and I'd be pretty sure that it has one with Turkey. But there would have to be some evidence against him, I think. I've looked at a few articles about him and he doesn't seem to be an Islamist terrorist type -- it seems to be, from the articles I read, that he or his followers started exposing corruption against the other fellow. But presumably you think differently ... why?

    Now if Turkey would break relations with the US, Mr Gulen would be absolutely safe. We had a fellow named Luis Posada Carilles walking about, who just died -- a hero to many in the Cuban exile community -- who blew a civilian airliner out of the sky in 1976, killing 72 people. But it was Cuban airliner -- had one of their sports teams on it -- so he was safe as houses in the US. (He also ran operations placing bombs in Cuban hotels in the 90s, resulting in the death of a Canadian.)

    Couldn't we relocate all our military bases to some nice sunny island in the Caribbean where our boys could go surfing and otherwise enjoy themselves, and just piss Russia off by insulting tweets and Facebook posts -- you know, jokes like "Ha! They can't even write their letters properly!!" ? They seem to be pretty good in the Middle East at bombing each other ... why should the American taxpayer have to pay for their bombs?

    How many nukes have gone off in your neck of the woods? If we wanted to destroy your nation, we would.
    We don't, hence you still exist.

    Now if you'd said something about MEDDLING, that's different. We meddle. And we shouldn't, we really shouldn't. We should leave you and your **** holes alone, no meddling.
