As I flicked through the channels on the TV earlier today, a live meeting between Biden and Erdogan caught my eye on Kurdistan24. What shocked me was the body language between the two government officials.

Prior to this day, I have never seen such body language between third world country officials, let alone between VP of the USA. I tried to google photos from the meeting with no luck.  I screen-shotted photos from the live meeting from a Turkish youtube.

Some of these body languages (click to zoom)

The Dynamics in this photo sums most  of the meeting Biden kept his eyes fixed on the floor while Erdogan look Biden up and down in a way one would look at an unworthy person.

Biden Can't make a direct eye contact with Erdogan. Stares at the floor.

Erdogan looking at Biden the way a predator looks at its prey. 

Aggressive stares were one way of many Erdogan maintained his dominance throughout the meeting.

This one is a professionally taken photo. still shows Biden in a submissive position. 

This particular meeting was arranged to discuss the potential of Turkish army to enter Syria to stop the Kurds form attacking ISIS. Turkey has had a full border with ISIS for the past foure years and has not once attacked them.

Recently Kurds have taken almost all of their border with Turkey back from ISIS except 50 KM (31Mi.) which Kurds are working on right now to take back from ISIS. and block ISIS's open way to Europe and Turkey to recruit fighters. however Turkey is entering Syria to stop Kurds from doing so.

The Syrian conflict is gaining complexity everyday. you can read more about this topic on Foreign policy or Washington Post. or straight from an American Fighter  in Syria.


This video disgusts me in many ways but perhaps the biggest thing that gets me is that Biden is completely robbed of his happy cheerful nature that holds his composure through just about everything but couldn't put it together when put in a room with a lunatic barbaric human right abuser like Erdogan.

Watch the entire video for yourself if you want. I personally rather not ever watch it again.

Donald Trump  has said plenty of insane things that others have covered it but what about sane things he has said ?

1.  Media is Biased
   He is right. I specially find it interesting, when he points to the camera and says they don't show my 30,000 people but they show 2000 people of my opponent . However he only complains about it when the media doesn't work for him. I would be more happy if he points out that mainstream media is never a good source of information (even if it works for you)
2. No one is above the law, either we have a country or we don't.
   He is right, if we have a law that passing the border is illegal, the law is for everyone.
   However he doesn't seem to care about the law if breaking it work for his goals and values. (for example his not caring about privacy laws or eminent domain or treating detainees ....)
3. Special Interests and big donors control politicians.
   No comment needed.
4. We want people in our country who love our people. not people who love Sharia more than our constitution.
   He is right. current US visa system makes you show the ties to your culture, country, to give you a visa. ( that supposed to ensure you will go back to your country after your visa is ended because you are so tied to your own culture)
   
   So in the current system, we want religious people to come to USA to study in best universities learning high end technologies and then go back to their countries (which they end up not going back anyway) ?  rather than non-religious open-minded people who love USA more, to come study here and stay here?
   
   Also the current visa system, favors countries which the 9/11 attackers were from and weirdly some other countries which their citizens have not committed such attacks get a way longer wait period and way more security clearances.
   
   so he is right the visa system doesn't put america's interest first. 

The sane things that trump has said doesn't mean he believes in them. as he has said so many different things. he seems to just go with his heart and say whatever he feels is good at the moment. 

Like one might think Trump believe in none-intervention principle based on he keeps saying he was against Libya/Iraq war. but I saw a video he saying he wanted Obama to go into Libya and get rid of Qadafi.

So the sane things that trump has said doesn't necessary mean he believes in them. but it would be stupid to oppose them just because he has said it.
