Before I even opened the link...I said to myself "I'll 100% guarantee there is some 'unnamed source' behind the rest of this narrative". Sure enough, not more than two sentences into the piece... BOOM.....there is it:

excerpt:
“Trump asked: ‘If we withdraw our soldiers, can you clean up ISIS?’”, a Turkish official told Reuters. He said Erdogan replied that Turkish forces were up to the task.

...more

“I have to say it was an unexpected decision. The word ‘surprise’ is too weak to describe the situation,” said the official, one of five Turkish sources who spoke to Reuters about the Dec. 14 call between the two leaders"

So why not go on the record with such a scurrilous charge? Why offer six unnamed "sources" to this story? Because that's how you generate "fake news".

I stopped reading the article after those unattributed sources were the basis for the whole article, because there is no way to verify if any of it is true? All of the attributed 'sources' are unnamed or anonymous [eyeroll]

He is very embarrassing. He should be ashamed that he posted sources before from far left sites that support pedophiles.

tjebarr is one of the best posters on the site, but his appeal is limited to those with some minimum level of reason and knowledge.
