Now, as the Independent newspaper of Britain asserts, "Turkey is morphing into a Russian-style 'shell' democracy, in which managed plebiscites mask the essentially autocratic character of a system containing few or no checks and balances."

That sounds familiar somehow.... Can't think why it would. /s

Americans will no doubt recall that Turkey’s refusal to support the U.S. and NATO in the 2003 war against Iraq’s Saddam Hussein.
This American remembers that very, very well. BTT

Now Qatar and Turkey conspire with Kerry to screw Israel.
Over the weekend Turkey is planning to confront our ally Israel with another floatilla trying to break the Israeli and Egyptian blockade of Gaza, to keep it from getting Iranian and likely Nato weapons from Turkey.

The US congress must recognize that Hamas and other terror groups are backed by Qatar and Turkey and do something to address this madness.

Supporting countries who are sworn enemies of the only democracy in the middle east Israel is a mixed up foreign policy.

What if Israel has to sink a ship to repel Turkey’s effort to resupply arms to Hamass? What does Nato do?
