Turkish officials call the U.S. the "sick man of the world" and predict it will split into 50 states.

Erdogan's Political Ally: The US Is the "Sick Man," Soon to Be on the Brink of Splitting

Leader of Turkey's Nationalist Action Party (MHP), Devlet Bahçeli, said on Tuesday that the United States is the "sick man of the world" and that the day when the country splits into 50 states is not far off.

As early as the early 20th century, the media referred to the Ottoman Empire as the "sick man of Europe," and at that time, the collapse of the Ottoman Empire was not far away.

While speaking in the Turkish parliament, Bahçeli commented on the U.S. attempt to annex Greenland. He questioned, "How can we explain a NATO member state planning to occupy territory under the control of another NATO member state? What is the difference between 'I want it, so I take it and launch an attack' and 'Let's go to war'? The Ottoman Empire was once labeled the 'sick man,' but now the 'sick man of the world' is none other than the United States. The day when the United States splits into 50 parts is not far off."

He also criticized Trump's remarks about international law, emphasizing that the U.S. president "is encouraging destruction and robbery."

Bahçeli also pointed out that Turkey's goal is to become a global power, guided by the vision left behind by the Ottoman Empire.
