Two U.S. Marines were assaulted by a group of young nationalists in Turkey on Monday, officials in both countries said, with one attacker placing a bag over the head of one service member.
The dramatic incident in the western port city of Izmir was captured on video, which was geolocated by NBC News. It shows the moment two Marines were surrounded by a group of 15 people in a commercial area who were chanting “Yankee go home.”
The group then restrained one Marine before one of them places a bag over his head. Moments later, another man can be seen charging the group. None of the service members are in uniform.
On Monday, September 2, 2024, at around 16:00, two US citizen military personnel in civilian clothes were physically attacked by a group of 15 people, 2 women and 13 men, who are members of the Turkish Youth Union (TGB)," The office of Süleyman Elban, the governor of Izmir province, said in a statement.
An account on X purporting to represent the TGB said on Monday: “WE PUT SACKS ON THE US SOLDIERS SERVING ON THE LARGEST ATTACK SHIP OF THE USA, USS WASP! US soldiers, who carry the blood of our soldiers and thousands of Palestinians on their hands, cannot dirty our country. Every time you step into these lands, we will welcome you as you deserve!”
US foreign policy has consequences for Americans in foreign lands. Who knew?

Turkey joining BRICS does not signify dollar weakness in international trade, but the opposite. Turkia (its actual name) has bludgeoned its economy with idiot policies, and its currency is a joke.
BRICS therefore welcomes Turkia to their cardboard box Clubhouse!!!
Yawn.

Islam only. Never mind all the Muslims being killed by it in four other wars. Bigotry?
Muslims need a separation of church and state to stop killing a lot of Muslims with Muslim hands.
