For free!!!!!!! heheheWhat surprises me is the vehemence of Erdogan’s speeches and the fact that he takes every opportunity to answer every US statement. This is consistent with an intention to have Turkey thrown out of NATO, rather than leaving. It would stop the need for finding someone to blame. I’m sure Putin and Xi will have set up a good deal for him to join the SCO bloc.
What I can’t understand is what Trump thinks he is doing antagonising him so – the priest has been in jail for 2 years and is obviously only a token. The S-400 purchase, the F-35 sale suspension and the Gulen non-extradition are far more important issues.
With Turkey looking east instead of west, all thoughts of linking Israel to NATO-territory via land is gone for ever.
Hmm, it was widely reported that Russia sold 100% of its U.S. treasury’s last week.
And its debt to GDP is reported to be 17%. It holds reserves which could pay off that entirely with billions leftover.
Am I missing something here?
I shouldn’t underestimate Turkey’s importance to NATO; as noted, its geographic location is of strategic importance.
I think NATO will eat a lot of crow before kissing off Turkey.
I’d be watching my back if I were Erdogon…
