JUST IN: Turkey's finance minister says the US dollar has 'lost its credibility'

Source: CNN

So what? Are they gonna go to war with the US? I just read an article about Russia saying the similar thing. The funny thing was though that they had quotes from Russia saying the same thing earlier this year and every year for the past 5 years or so. I don't think this quote from one minister is actually going to mean anything. What are they doing to do about it?

Yeah but the difference here is that Russia is the second largest military power in the world, manufactures nuclear weapons, and can support its economy by exporting petrol. Turkey has textiles and vegetables to keep its economy afloat.

There's a lot of senseless aggression going on right now between many powers. It seems like someone wanted to stir up the markets a bit and cause some chaos in emerging markets. Turkey doesn't seem the least bit concerned by the fact that they are teetering on the verge of an economic crisis, almost as if they are enjoying the ride. What could be their motive?

Russia is the second power by the number of nuclear warheads. But all of them are in such condition that a large part of them do not fly. Lol! Russia is a collapsed Empire that can not accept this. Erdogan wants to do the same with Turkey. I find it funny when rogue States oppose themselves to country number one.

Country number one? Rouge states? Well, looks like some more American Exceptionalism at its best. Finest exporters of democracy in the 21st century. Too bad those receiving states of democracy all turn into smouldering messes afterwards because their citizens somehow don't think in the same way as Westerners do. What a surprise.

The USA is just as bad as anyone else, but they are the best at lying about it to cover it up. They have the sharpest tools of perception management (which other states are starting to pick up on as well now) to make sure that every move they make is only for the greater good of the world. But many parts of the world can't handle a democracy model like theirs, and never needed it in the first place.
