>>A Turkish ship was attacked<<

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is a sticky wicket, as Turkey is NATO and we are supposedly obligated to defend them.

But Turkey is the ENEMY now ... and Mohammed bin Salman’s Saudi Arabia is a CRUCIAL ALLY of MAGA America.

It will be fascinating to see how President Trump handles this situation.

Great post, Heshmat is one of the best to report about the goings on in the Middle East. Now it seems the Turks are wanting to get more involved or maybe there's a more coordinated effort to stop the Turks now?
