That guy is a deliberate liar. The US cannot instigate regime change in Iran and the installation of a puppet regime without tremendous bloodshed and destruction even if it were possible without military intervention, which I believe is on the agenda anyway. He is calling for the destruction of his own country and should be put on trial for treason and mass murder and executed. Of course US regime change even before the actual bombing will lead to devastation for the Iranian and Turkish population.
"At the beginning of the year, the minimum wage, paid to almost half of Turkish workers, was 1,603 TL, equivalent to 424 USD, when one dollar was 3.78 TL. Now it is only 221 USD. At the beginning of August, the average monthly gas and electricity bills rose to 14.7 percent of the minimum wage, while prices of staple food products have increased two- or in many cases three-fold."
"Widespread workplace closures, bankruptcies and downsizings are threatening all sectors of the deficit-ridden Turkish economy, including construction, banking, automotive, metal, textile and even agriculture. Within a year, Turkey’s Istanbul 30 stock market index has fallen by more than 50 percent in US dollar terms, indicating a danger of stagflation."
"Turkey’s heavily import dependent construction sector, mainly responsible for the growth of the Turkish economy over the last decade, has already come to a standstill, leaving tens of thousands of workers unemployed, as the collapse of lira led to a drastic increase in costs."
"The number of redundancies and unpaid days off are increasing in the textile and metal industries. According to a current statement of the Dev-Tekstil trade union’s Cukurova branch, some 1,500 textile workers have already lost their jobs in the region."
"A woman, who “is keeping the savings of her entire hard working years in a lira account”, told a Xinhua News reporter on Monday: “Now all my gains, my insurance for my elderly years are shrinking in front of my eyes. Over 40 percent of it has just disappeared.”" http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2018/08/16/turk-a16.html
Trump loves the devastation of the living standards of the poor, cheaper labor for US multinationals.
