American president Trump threatens to destroy Turkish economy

This right here is why Muslims need to work towards an economic block of some sort.

The concept of Ummah and such has very clear benefits.

When the US threatens the EU- the EU you can reply much better than any individual state there can.

If you don't have the size to fight individually - you make alliances and join together to become a much stronger force.

The weaker you are, the more compromises you've got to make.

Muslim countries simply lack serious individual capacity to resist the giants.

There is a reason why countries like France and Germany put their grievances behind to form the EU. It's also why the UK is panicking because of Brexit.

There is strength in numbers.

Otherwise, they'd get the GCC to cancel themselves out whilst doing the same to Iran. The Iraqis and the Syrians have been taken out. Whatever happened with Pakistan post 9/11 happened. We all know the attempted CIA coup in Turkey and all the stuff before and since.

This tweet is just so very insulting and yet you know at this point the US does have the financial clout to really mess up the Turkish economy.

Hopefully these threats will force our people together to protect our interests collectively.

The problem is such an alliance needs to have some contiguous areas, such as the EU, where the continent all border each other on the mainland, it makes such an alliance more feasible.

Countries like Pakistan & Turkey are separated by Iran, with most of them looking down on such alliances because they are steeped in racial supremacist ideas rather than religious bonds.

Because the US media's "USA and Israel lover freedom fighters " rhetoric deepened so much that there is a big reaction in general US public opinion against TRUMP, now. There are even advocates of throwing 67 years of deep alliance relations at the expense of protecting a terrorist organization.

Anyway, Trump seems to be seeking to develop a political discourse to balance these reactions.

The truth is( outside the blocking SWIFT system)they already tried allmost all the models of economic sanctions against Turkey. Even though the Turkish economy has been going through very difficult times, it has learned to develop new support strategies.

In a country where European companies have hundreds of billions of dollars fixed investments and while most of the foreign debt stock belongs to these countries , a more comprehensive economic blockade will have consequences that will affect the entire continent. The possible results it will produce can not be incomparable to Iran.

Militarily, the expulsion of Turkey from NATO, just a populist rhetoric without legal basis.

This narrow vision of our US friends means not only in the Middle East but also absolute attenuation in the Black Sea, Balkans and Central Asia and some points of Africa like Somali , Libya etc.

They have reached quite exquisite! vision. For mother Russia.

These approaches against Turkey will never fix anything . On the contrary, its forcing Turkey for a more independent policy.

Pakistan is playing its role but unfortunately the Arab-Iran, Arab-Arab and Arab-Turk, Pak-Iran conflicts are a big hurdle and need to be resolved first.

Look how they have 'Destroyed' Iran's Economy. I think Turkey is going to be just fine.

Do you know how much one dollar is in Iranian currency? Compare it 10 years back and now. Not pretty.

The only solace for the world, we don't have to witness this charade for long.
Come on Democrats, wield that "Impeachment" sword.

very strange outburst. All I can say is that this is not the world of 2001! in 19 years so much has changed and what was possible before isn't possible now.

I dont think Trump means "destroying the economy" of turkey means increased inflation etc. Trump wants to suppress Turkey so their influence in M.E fades away. Does Iran give an impression of a failed economy by the way? Iran is still acting like a strong regional power and giving tough time to USA and I respect Iranian perseverance for that.

As long as Murica runs the global economy a lot of countries around the world will continue to be sanctioned to death.

West running the global economy is thanks to Western colonialism. West colonised lands around the world and imposed their will on everybody.

Ever since industrialisation it gave them further control of the global economy. Murica taking control is the icing in the cake. Its a monopoly on the world.

If Muslims dont learn history and their own history the same mistakes will be made.

You are correct in a way but its been more intense sine 1991 when the USSR fell the US lost a power who could check them again big mistake Muslim countries made during "Cold War" was taking sides mostly with the Yanks to counter the Soviets should have stayed neutral and played all sides countries like Indonesia under Sukarno who tried playing everyone from USSR,PR China, and US but sadly was overthrown in 1965 and replaced by pro Yank puppets at least with Russia and China there is some check I know they are not perfect but a multi polar world gives the middle powers more space and influence
