All done deliberately, no one can tell me these so called "leaders" are blind to it all, its all being done on purpose Trump is such a wonderful leader, he wouldn't go out his way to try and make life difficult for citizens of the world oh no  Then goes out and doubles tariffs to collapse another country's currency   All the while he's isolating his own country into the bargain |

Gunboat diplomacy I believe, Erdogan currently has an American in jail who Trump obviously believes should be let out.
Expect him to double the tariffs again if the Turk doesn't do what he wants. AND RIGHTLY SO. |

Tensions between America and Turkey have been ratcheting up in recent months, despite the latter being a critical ally for the US’s military engagement in the Middle East.
Mr Trump is demanding the return of Mr Brunson, who is accused of being involved in the failed coup to overthrow the Turkish government in 2016. The US government has dismissed the claims against the evangelical Presbyterian pastor as baseless and without evidence. Mr Erdogan is in turn demanding the extradition of Fethullah Gulen, an exiled cleric living in Pennsylvania whom the Turkish government accuses of being behind the coup attempt. America has refused. Talks involving Mike Pence, the vice president, and Mike Pompeo, the secretary of state, to secure Mr Brunson’s release have reportedly being going on being the scenes in recent weeks. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/08/10/erdogan-tells-turkish-people-trust-god-lira-tumbles-us-row/ . |

listen to the man"Carney and FOX caused all the trouble,talking about a no deal is causing the slump and every single time the words no deal are mentioned the pound will slide further down ,a no deal is an utter catastrophe for the UK and everyone knows it (INCLUDING THE WORLD AND ITS MOTHER)if people do not stop saying "no deal"the pound is heading down the big long snake in this game of snakes and ladders and i am dead serious about this, it could even come to the UK people being told to "brace for impact"because it is quite possible that the pound could crash.sleep well readers

A cashless society is what the elite wants and no matter what it takes or how long it takes,they get want they want, its all about control .

Might it not just be that the more Islamified a society becomes the less effective their economies are ? Too many prayer breaks for the cult members and too little work done has been my experience observing at close quarters.
