Well, those vehicles are produced in the US.
In order to be able to ship them to other parts of the world they'd need to be transported on US roads at some point. No big deal.

Glad I decided against it.

We are going on holiday to Rhodes, close to the Turkey border next month so it was quite concerning when I saw this news last night.
I know families that have been to Turkey on holiday in the last year, but I don't think I'd risk it myself.
I feel sorry for the businesses in the tourist resorts in Egypt, Tunisia and now possibly Turkey that are losing their livelihoods because of these troubles.

We need to coup our government if Hillary is elected. We need to get rid of the political elites that think they're above the law. Also, taxation is theft. It's completely ridiculous that people have to give up almost half their income to the Feds. Anything over 20% is just way too much. I'm not saying I'm pro Trump, but he is the lesser of two evils and I will vote for him to give Hillary one less vote. Not that voting matters anymore, our system is so corrupt even if Trump wins the popular vote and the electoral votes, Hillary will win the election. Who knows, maybe Trump is just as corrupt, but I'm trying to be optimistic.

I am not a pro-Hillary person but at least she pays taxes

Trump refuses to disclose and years ago the returns showed he paid no taxes. All this while using bankruptcy laws to escape bad investments.

Whether its Turkey, Egypt or the United States. NEVER overturn the will of the people. Yes sometimes they make stupid mistakes...just look at George Bush followed by Obama. But democracy must be upheld.
When democrats won the popular vote in 2000. They rolled over and played dead. If Obama lost the popular vote in 2012 but still won the presidency there still would be riots in the streets.

That's another thing that worries me, if Trump wins, there is a good chance that all the close minded hateful liberals will start riots. I definitely see groups like black lives matter starting riots. The odds of Trump winning are unfortunately small because our system is very corrupt and Hillary supporters are ignorant.
