Is the US Beheading the Turkish Economy as an Act of Terror?
The US continues to play its poker game of “Show Down” with a growing list of unhappy countries. We are at the point where we might soon see a call to rename the US… to the United States of Sanctions, the USS. Turkey is getting most of the publicity now with its currency…

MESA: an Alliance or a Gold Mine for America to Dig?
