US Approves Sale of Patriot Missiles to Turkey

[xenon54 out]

what sanctions have been on Turkey for the past 40 years that were serious? or are you just playing victim because EU didnt allow you into EU because of your human rights violations against Kurds? US put the FIRST serious sanctions on Turkey some months ago in retaliation for Turkey keeping the US pastor detained, and Turkey's economy WOBBLED. thats facts. Turkey has the most available ground forces in NATO, so it makes no sense for US or EU to economically cripple a NATO member that would be needed in any serious NATO involved conflict. You also forget that without US Turkey would be an old military with old equipment and old technology.

He is talking about sanctions because of Cyprus, i have no clue what EU has to do with it.

The US has a much better ground force than any country in NATO I think you said something wrong. The good ol US army would destroy any other nation in NATO with ease.

what sanctions have been on Turkey for the past 40 years that were serious?

Turkey lost over 40.000 citizens and over $500 billion to fight the US-Israel backed Pkk terrorist organization since 1985 and still the US-Israel backed Pkk/Ypg terrorists in Syria and Iraq are so big threat to Turkey
and Turkey spent billion dollars to make military operations against the US-Israel backed Pkk/Ypg terrorists in Syria


since 2013 Turkey is under attack by the US ( and Turkish Economy lost over $500 billion since 2013 )

- Gezi Park rebellion in 2013
- 17-25 december 2013 judicial coup attempt by the US-Israel backed FETO terrorist organization
- Big Pkk rebellion in 22 Turkish cities by 2015
- Suicide Bomb attacks by the US-Israel backed PKK and ISIS terrorists in Istanbul,Ankara,etc by 2016
- Military coup attempt by the US-Israel backed FETO terrorist organization in 2016

Turkey lost over $1 trillion since 1985 because of the US backed attacks ... and its 100 times worse than sanctions

or are you just playing victim because EU didnt allow you into EU because of your human rights violations against Kurds?

Kurds ? Kurds have every right in Turkey even Kurds were became President and Prime Minister in Turkey
and nobody attacks Kurds

but Pkk/Ypg terrorists killed over 40.000 innocent people including childs and women in Turkey since 1985

and the EU never will allow Turkey into EU because of the EU is christian club but Turkey is muslim country

You also forget that without US Turkey would be an old military with old equipment and old technology.
