Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has lashed out at NATO, saying the alliance is not fully cooperating with Ankara. In an interview with Sputnik, he hinted that Turkey would consider military cooperation with Russia.

Cavusoglu says that Ankara has become alarmed at the lack of willingness shown by NATO to cooperate with Turkey, which is a member of the alliance.

"It seems to us that NATO members behave in an evasive fashion on issues such as the exchange of technology and joint investments. Turkey intends to develop its own defense industry and strengthen its defense system,” he said in an interview with Sputnik.

“In this sense, if Russia were to treat this with interest, we are ready to consider the possibility of cooperation in this sector," Cavusoglu said when asked about the possibility of working with Russia in the defense sphere.

Oh dear, NATO seems in a bit of a jam, I wonder what they will do with those nukes deployed in Turkey?

Russian source...
But it’s a fact that Turkey’s future lies to the east, as does Russia’s.

The West is broke. Who wants a broke partner?

Way too late, the nukes should have been out, and the US should have been out of NATO before NATO got the bright idea of backing KLA Muslim Terrorists in Kosovo Province, Serbia.

I'm sure that there is a contingency plan to close and evacuate all personnel and materials including all ordnance.

Turkey now chooses to join the rogue nations. It seems that it was only a matter of time when they would resort back to the Ottoman ways. I believe that the so-called “coup” was staged. It provided the excuse to clamp down and remove any secular ideas held by the population.

“The West is broke. Who wants a broke partner?”

I read an article recently titled something like, “The End of Globalization.” One of the article’s points was that the entire developed world was living on borrowed money. We are all Greece now, in other words. That includes Russia, China, Korea, Japan, etc.

I tried to find this particular article, and was amazed at the number of articles containing “the end of globalization” in the title.

Russia might want Turkish support for political purposes.

Fact is, it faces as big a threat with Islam in it’s own nation.

If flights are going out of that airport, so can nukes.

Who wants an unreliable partner?
Yes, I'm thinking about 0bama & Hillary effectively destroying what little order they had in Libya, Egypt and Syria.
That a NATO country rather ally with Russia would definitely be considered a FAIL for any presidency.
Except 0bama of course, different rules for him.

Russian source...

Yes, and it is just as sensationalistic as Western sources, but often contains gems you would never find in Western MSM, like this one in the second to last paragraph:

Cavusoglu said: The West tried to humble Russia during its hosting of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi by constantly bringing up the same topic concerning the rights of sexual minorities.

“You cannot turn around a relationship with such a huge and great power like Russia just because of one question,” he said, adding that when a relationship is reduced to such a low level, “nothing constructive can come of it.”

Homos "rights" are worth more to the US than Christianity, White people, or avoiding World War Three.

Islamicists, like Socialists, happily fight and murder among themselves to determine whom gets to give the orders for the other Islamicists or Socialists to sacrifice and die, and both stop when there is no one left to kill.

Both are about absolute submission.

[DIRTYSECRET]

After the shutdown Russia made them an offer they couldn’t refuse.

[DoughtyOne]

I agree with your take on it.

There are between 50 and 90 (to 95) of the B61 gravity nuclear bombs weighing about 700 pounds each.

Two at a time or all 95 at once?
