Our friends the Turks....

My guess is Turkey will be leaving NATO soon.

Then compound this with IRAN letting Russian bombers take off from Iran.

Say bye bye to Saudi’s proxy army ISIS.

More from a news article posted at on the 16th from Sputnik news on the 16th:

Turkey could provide its Incirlik airbase for the Russian Aerospace Forces jets in the anti-terrorist campaign in Syria, member of Russia’s upper house of parliament Igor Morozov said Tuesday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – He clarified that the decision could be taken based on similar agreements made with Syria on the use of the Hmeymim facility and the latest use of the Hamadan airfield in western Iran to carry out airstrikes against terrorist groups in Syria.

"Turkey can provide the Incirlik base to the Russian Aerospace Forces for its use in counterterrorism operations [in Syria]. This can become a logical continuation of Turkish President [Recep Tayyip] Erdogan’s step toward Russia," Morozov told RIA Novosti.

Senator Viktor Ozerov, member of Russia's Federation Council Defense and Security Committee, did not rule out that Ankara could offer the use of its air base after Erdogan’s reconciliatory visit to St. Petersburg last week, where he affirmed support for Russia’s anti-terrorist mission in Syria.

"It is not guaranteed that Russia needs Incrilik, but such a decision can be regarded as Turkey's real readiness to cooperate with Russia in the fight against terrorism in Syria, and not just pay lip service," Ozerov stressed.

Incirlik has been in use by the US Air Force in its coalition’s efforts againstDaesh terrorist group since the summer of 2015.

Will Russia be inviting their BFF Death to America Iran to Incirlik? Now that would be an interesting double date.

I though the DOD wanted an anti jihadi partnership. LOL. This is a great troll on their part.

Erdogan thinks he can out smart the bear. The bear wants Constantinople, the Bosphorus, and the Dardenelles. And will get them too.
