Turkey’s can fly? Get it? Ha ha.

Turk armed forces were formidable prior to Erdogan. I suspect Peck is right, this was a false flag operation setu up to preemptively eliminate opposition in the officer corps.

Quote: "...Turkey's government has purged its air force so badly that it can barely fly its F-16 fighters.

Perhaps if Erdogan stops persecuting non-muhamedans, he might get his air Force back. Of course, following the dictats of the founder of his religion, the pedophile/murder/rapist/terrorist/robber, Erdogan will persecute them. He stands little chance now, against anything more advanced than 7th century equipment and armies, exactly as his 'prophet' (profit) did.

The “purge” is akin to that conducted by Joseph Stalin. Results may soon be obvious.

Did I read correctly they fired the F-16 pilots and now are pressure-conscripting them back?

Can we send 500 Stingers to the Kurds to help with this?

[Basket_of_Deplorables]

Idiot Erdogan, he of the microoenis, is a dick tator.

Why do we still need and want them in NATO?

[Zeppo]

But it left a gaping question: who would be left to fly Turkey's jet fighters?

Erdogan don't need no stinkin' jet fighters anyway. He can simply request hundreds of flying carpets from Saudi Arabia to pick up the slack.

After all, isn't that what Mohammed would do?
