AIBU... Trump's letter to Erdogan

AIBU to think this letter is extremely provocative? Why would anyone send this to a man like Erdogan? IMO we need another dick-swinging competiton between powerful men like we need a hole in the head.

It's appalling. Regardless of who or what the issue is, and however much it may stick in your craw, there is a certain protocol to be followed in matters of international diplomacy and communication. The letter is unprofessional and ridiculously provocative when the situation is already volatile.

As to why he'd send this? …. well, the man is a fool. Erdogan may be as well, but he's a dangerous fool. So is Trump, who's a liability. I despair at the calibre of so many so called world leaders right now.

Exactly. It's like the whole world has gone mad.
