Turkey Ready for War, Says Erdogan, US Involved in Financial Warfare Against Turkey

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


By Global Research News

According to the Islamist Turkish newspaper Yeni Akit quoted byAhvalnews, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is ready for war.

“The secret to successful states is their readiness for war. We are ready with everything we have,” said Erdoğan on Monday in a meeting with ambassadors in Ankara.

According to reports, the US has instrumented a currency war targeted against the Turkish lira.

“Erdoğan’s comments come as the Turkish currency continues to slide against the U.S. dollar following Washington’s announcement of sanctions against Ankara this month”. Ahvalnews

The decline is indicated in the chart below (Bloomberg), from 4.85 Lira to the dollar on July 16 to approximately 5.94 Lira to the dollar on August 16.

“It is everyone’s observation that the developments in foreign currency exchange have no financial basis and they are an attack on our country,” Erdoğan said.

“On the one hand you are a strategic ally and the other you shoot (the country) in the foot. Is something like this acceptable?” he asked, in an apparent reference to sanctions on two ministers and increased steel and aluminium tariffs imposed by the United States.(Ahvalnews)

The US is involved in de facto acts of financial warfare directed against Turkey. According to Michel Chossudovsky, the Trump administration with the support of Wall Street institutional speculators seeks the collapse of the Turkish Lira.

      Turkey turned on the U.S. so many times. So it’s about time they got a taste of their own medicine. They want war? They will never get one. You see because a war is fought between two nations. That will not happen in a military conflict between Turkey and the U.S. the only thing that will happen is Turkey will be destroyed. It won’t even be a fight. If Turkey gets into a military conflict with the U.S. they will need Russia, China, and every nation in the Middle East to assist them with that. I can’t believe they killed Ghadafi and Sadaam, but they let that disloyal Tyrant Erdogan live. The U.S. should never have attempted a coup in Turkey, we should’ve just attacked them. Because with allies like Turkey, who needs enemies.
