    THE SUB-CONTRACTOR COUNTRY...

    Why did US Vice President Joe Biden come to Turkey?

    We will say that he came to reinforce Turkish-American friendship,
    but...

    We know that great states come not to give something, but to get
    something...

    Furthermore, Biden would be the last person to think of when speaking
    of friendship... Just look at what retired diplomat Ugur Ergun says
    in describing him:

    "He is fanatically anti-Turkish. In order to curry favour with the
    Greeks and the Armenians, he has always played a leading role in the
    anti-Turkish activities conducted in the US Congress..."

    It is obvious that Joe Biden came in order to convey the expectations
    of the United States, and to persuade us on certain issues...

    Uncle Sam wants us to carry out, free of charge, the business of
    bringing down the [Bashar] Al-Asad regime in Syria...

    And exploiting this opportunity, they will bring about a tussle
    between Turkey and Iran...

    In exchange, they are giving empty promises... The United States,
    for example, will supposedly be at our side in the struggle against
    the PKK...

    Is [US President Barack] Obama now, after withdrawing all his troops,
    going to provide the support that he did not give when he had 130,000
    troops in Iraq?

    Who would believe this lie?..

    In the end, Turkey, rolling up its sleeves like an unpaid bouncer
    in a bar, is going to defend the interests of the United States
    and Israel...

    And they will pat us on the back, saying "bravo!", and praise the
    government.

    The government, in exchange for this service, will get support to stay
    in power... And the people will gain nothing, but will only lose...

    Indeed, Turkey is no longer a sound and reliable friend to its
    neighbours... It is in the position of an agent country that sticks
    it to its neighbours on behalf of the United States and houses their
    [the Americans'] gangs. There is not a country left in the region
    that is friendly towards us. And in the future, if the neighbouring
    countries give shelter to the gangs and terrorists that attack Turkey,
    there will no longer be anything left for us to say...
