Turkey shaken by financial fears, Trump rattles it further

What’s the old saying? “You mess with the bull, you get the horn.”

Their only slitting their own throats.

Turkey could see this coming like the headlamp on an on coming freight train. They knew that holding this pastor was flirting with a whack, a real whack, not an Obama "cut it out" threat. Trump gave them plenty of chances to do the right thing, they chose the painful path. Erdogan is dragging Turkey toward and Islamic Republic, this is a good time to try to disrupt that trip. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.
