Wonder hoe Russia feels about a nuclear Turkey...
“Wonder hoe Russia feels about a nuclear Turkey...”
Russia has been supplying Turkey with “defense” missiles since a deal was made two years ago. They have been supplying the S-400 that can shoot down aircraft at a distance of up to 150 miles (240 km) and intercept ballistic missiles up to 38 miles away.
The Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, said the US had protected Fethullah Gulen, the cleric (and Pennsylvania resident) he blames for an attempted coup in 2016. Erdogan declared: “The coup plotter is in your country. You are nurturing him there. It’s out in the open.” They want him extradited and Obama refused.
Turkey already has 50 nuclear missiles under the control of the US at Incirlik AFB, in Turkey. They are there under a treaty signed by Turkey in 1982. But that was before Obama and Erdogan had different ideas concerning the use of terrorist groups in Syria. Now it appears Putin and Erdogan have a combined idea on the Syria situation.
But I don’t think Putin wants to create a problem between the US and Russia so any ICBM capacity missiles will either come from Pakistan, Eqypt, or North Korea from Russia but with a different name on the hood.
