(18,690 posts)1. I worry about Erdogan. I also worry about Saudi Arabia and Jared's
"special relationship" with MbS. And I'm even a little bit skeptical about Iran's alleged cyber intrusions. The initial reports (per CNN) said those emails came from a server in Saudi Arabia.
Things could come from a number of different directions.

to disrupt our election and have a vested interest in keeping their puppet in office: Israel, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Russia, China.

down on Trump's sinking ship. His real leverage is in Europe where Turkey acts as the roadblock keeping displaced Middle Easterners out.
