NATO, what’s the plan when a fascist dictator takes control of a NATO country?
- “Erdogan is playing to an anti-American domestic audience with his nuclear rhetoric” Ally?
- Only Russia and China refer to western democracies as The West.
- Erdogan has already aligned Turkey with Russia and Syria. Turkey, a NATO country purchased a Russian air defense system ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- Trump is kowtowing to Erdogan again by offering to sell Turkey F-35′s in exchange for not attacking the Kurds. The U.S. stopped the sale FOUR MONTHS AGO - in July 2019 because of Russia.
“Some countries have missiles with nuclear warheads,” he told a meeting of his governing party in September. But the West insists “we can’t have them. This, I cannot accept.”
His country would become the first NATO member to break out of the treaty and independently arm itself with the ultimate weapon.
With Turkey now in open confrontation with its NATO allies, having gambled and won a bet that it could conduct a military incursion into Syria and get away with it, Mr. Erdogan’s threat takes on new meaning.
“If the United States could not prevent the Turkish leader from routing its Kurdish allies, how can it stop him from building a nuclear weapon or following Iran in gathering the technology to do so?”
Trump can’t be trusted with classified information. pOTUS45 is a NATIONAL and INTERNATIONAL SECURITY THREAT.
There is another element to this ambiguous atomic mix: The presence of roughly 50 American nuclear weapons, stored on Turkish soil. The United States had never openly acknowledged their existence, until Wednesday, when Mr. Trump did exactly that.
Already Turkey has the makings of a bomb program: uranium deposits and research reactors — and mysterious ties to the nuclear world’s most famous black marketeer, Abdul Qadeer Khan of Pakistan.
“They’re building up their nuclear expertise,” Olli Heinonen, the former chief inspector for the International Atomic Energy Agency, said in an interview. “It’s high quality stuff.”
All roads lead back to Trump’s Mother Russia.
“It is also building its first big power reactor to generate electricity with Russia’s help.”
Best comment ~ reserved for Republicans who care!
First, Trump made Iranian nuclear weapons great again by scrapping the Iran treaty.
Then Trump made Syria's Bashad and ISIS great again by abandoning our Kurdish brothers to Erdogan's dictatorship and ethnic cleansing.
And now Turkey is headed toward nuclear 'freedom'.
Trump will be remembered for destabilizing the Middle East, just like the last profoundly incompetent Republican President who rigged his way into office who didn't like to read or critically think.
Heckuva' job, GOP.
