Having spent a number of years in the UAE/other ME countries in support of US projects, I agree with your pictures. These men know how to buy things and know who can build them. They have a vision and have some decent managers. But don’t ask them to do the engineering or train the laborers, that takes Western/Asian technology. Cheers.

During this evil time of the coronavirus, of the communist revolution in the U.S. and elsewhere, and of “cancel culture”, the muslim dictator of Turkey adds another most vile “cancelation”!!!!

Only God can save us! Lord Have Mercy!!!!

NATO is a farce. Why the President continues to tolerate their presence in what is supposed to be a mutual defence alliance is unfathomable. They are the enemy within the gates.

Not a few months after Columbus, but rather nearly 4 decades before Columbus.

Obama was his friend to be sure but our current President has kissed Erdogan’s posterior too many times like letting him into northern Syria for example.

May the all — all of them — be destroyed tonight.

Let their residents — all of them — suffer the fate their cult brought upon the Americans who were trapped on 9/11 in the World Trade Center.

You’re right!!!! And it was NATO—under clinton and blair—that bombed Serbia in 1999!!!!

When Germany was reunified in 1990, George HW Bush promised Russia not to move NATO up to the Russian border. It was clinton who broke that promise, and then he used the expanded NATO to bomb Serbia and to steal Kosovo from her!

Unfortunately, the Trump administration still recognizes the bogus “independent” muslim “Kosovo”. Kosovo is Serbia!!!!

No just hold on a minute here didn’t happen in like 1432 when MEHMET the second breachED the gates of Constantinople and ransacked and the Muslims took over during the Ottoman Empire?

This guy Erdogan is a snake in the grass and is just looking to try to increase his power

turkey is not a Muslim nation and they’re not really excepting his attempt to turn it into Iran

Nonsense. The building was converted into a Museum for the enjoyment of all. The conversion is a slap in the face.
