Eyy Karabulut Bay Kemal 👎👎👎 Seni hiç kimse sevmiyor, ciddiye almıyor. Daha da önemlisi TC gençliği senin kim olduğunu dahi bilmiyor ve seni dinlemiyor. Hep diyorum sana, git koltuğunun tadını çıkar, çayını yudumla, çikolatanı ye. Allah yar ve yardımcın olsun. @herkesicinCHP

*TRUMP: IRAN CEASEFIRE IS OVER I THINK

[beril a. @berilakman]

One central theme of this summit has been pleasing the US president and ensuring he remains engaged in NATO by emphasizing European allies' increased spending. Trump doesn't appear to be pleased (apart from Rutte): "I'm very upset with NATO. We pay billions and billions too much"

[beril a. @berilakman]

Trump speaks ahead of the NATO leaders' meeting (read unleashes fury) : Spain is a terrible partner at NATO, they don't participate. Cut of all trade with Spain please... they're hopeless.
