Erdogan's security forces attack protesters in DC

Investigators were paying particular attention to two members of the Turkish security detail who assaulted American Diplomatic Security officers assigned to protect the visiting delegation.

The men were briefly detained on the scene Tuesday and their guns confiscated. But when it was determined that they held diplomatic status, they were promptly released, according to a congressional aide briefed on the State Department’s investigation. By the time video of what had happened outside the ambassador’s residence shot across the internet Tuesday night, stoking outrage in the United States, the two men were on their way out of the country with Mr. Erdogan and the rest of his entourage.

The two men remain the subject of an active criminal investigation and will not be allowed to re-enter the United States, the aide said.

Gosh, where are the ST trolls leaping to the defence of a fellow thug life traveller of trump?

This has to do with trump deciding to arm the Kurdish forces in northern Syria who are battling Isis. Much to turkeys dismay.

This quagmire of supporting various forces in Syria who spend more time fighting each other rather than Isis or the Syrian military has its roots deep in the Obama admin

What's tragic is the plight of the Syrian people caught in the middle of this proxy war

"Defeating isis" is just propaganda. Obama showed little interest and neither has trump. There is too much money to be made off of chaos and death

with allies like Turkey, who needs allies?
