AFP•September 2, 2018

Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan) (AFP) - Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday vowed Ankara would pursue non-dollar transactions in trade with Russia and other countries, accusing the US of behaving like "wild wolves."

Both Turkey and Russia are reeling from punitive economic measures imposed by Washington.

"America behaves like wild wolves. Don't believe them," Erdogan told a business forum during a visit to Kyrgyzstan, in comments translated into Kyrgyz. He said his country was in negotiations with Russia over non-dollar trade.

"Using the dollar only damages us. We will not give up. We will be victorious," Erdogan told the meeting, attended by Kyrgyz and Turkish businessmen as well as government officials.

Isn't that the same thing fake Prez Trump has been saying all along?

Don't trust the American FBI, don't trust the American media, don't trust your own American eyes and ears.

While he spews bullshit targeting the most ignorant Americans---his hardcore base---it's really the world dictators who are listening and believing what he says about America's weakness.

That's what you call a traitor.

Not that it will help the Turkish economy in any way. But at least he won't get painful reminders by the hour of how low the lira is sinking against the dollar.

You have weakened America even further. The kremlin is well pleased with the submissive collusion of the stanky KGOP republican scallywags.
