McCain calls Turkey a 3rd world country. Turkey is dominated by a single party, the Islamist AKP party. Erdogan jails journalists and has absolute power in Turkey where there is no checks and balances. For once, I agree with McCain. Who does Turkey think it is. In the ME it may be a power, but not on the world stage. A country that can't even build gasoline engine.

The only reason Turkey is in NATO in the first place is because the US uses it to fight USSR.

Luckily the US is not controlled by one political party.
McCain is blinded by power, the voters should introduce him to the door.

I agree with McCain, no foreign state should ever be allowed to beat upon Americans within our borders. To me is an act of war in a sense. This is our homeland, I promise you if the roles were reversed there would be Americans sitting a jail cells for a long time until the State Department could sort it out. The Turks are disgusting, I watched a video posted here of them firing upon Kurds displaying a white flag crossing the street, murdering a good lot of the them who were unarmed in cold blood. That's some pretty spineless cowardly behavior. They shot them in the back!

That's totally ass-backward. Turks do everything possible to repress the Kurds. The reason Turkey got involved in the Syrian civil war was to make sure the Kurds can't get it together enough to form their own country. The Kurds mainly look out for themselves, but for the most part they've been allied with the Syrian government, or at least not fighting them.
