Erdogan Humiliates Iraq’s Prime Minister Ahead of Pivotal Battle for Mosul

The neo-ottoman, Erdogan, is at it again — talking extreme shit to Obama’s sock puppet in Baghdad. I had to source this in several places to make sure it was real.

The beef is over Turkish forces in Iraq, pressing their rights against the city of Mosul. Since the failed coup in Turkey, Erdogan has been on the move in both Syria and Iraq — in a feckless pursuit to return the Ottoman Empire to its former state of utter shit.

“Iraq had certain requests from us regarding Bashiqa, and now they are telling us to leave, but the Turkish army has not lost so much prestige as to take its orders from you,” he roared. Erdogan was referring to the Bashiqa camp, north of Mosul, where Turkish troops are training several thousand Sunni militia fighters loyal to Atheel al-Nujaifi, former governor of Ninevah province.

The spiraling dispute between the key allies in the US-led coalition against IS erupted last December, when Turkey deployed several hundred members of its special forces, together with 20-odd tanks to Bashiqa, sparking calls from Baghdad for the immediate withdrawal of Turkey’s “occupying force.” Washington has since been furiously mediating between the sides amid worries that the row could derail the battle for Mosul, which is expected to begin in the coming weeks.

Turkey insists that Baghdad was fully informed of its presence in Bashiqa. The Iraqi Kurds have backed Ankara’s version of events, saying that Turkish troops were in Ninevah to train Sunni volunteer forces with the “knowledge” and “consent” of Baghdad.

“You are not my interlocutor, you are not at my level, your quality is not at my level,” Erdogan said in the remarks aimed at Abadi. The president went on to say that the Iraqi premier’s “clamoring from Iraq” is not important, warning him to “know your limits.”

“Washington has repeatedly expressed support for Abadi. State Department spokesman Mark Toner laid out the US position, saying, “It’s up to the Iraqis and the Iraqi government to speak to Turkey’s role in Iraq.” The truth is that short of using military force, Washington can’t kick Turkey out of Iraq.

Another truth is Al-Abadi is a bitch and hasn’t been an effective leader in fighting ISIS.

To retort the hardcore words out of Erdogan, he took to Twitter to remind him they weren’t enemies. Smh.
