If this were just another spasm of ugly anti-semitic hatred by a Muslim state it could be written off, as these things are, as business as usual.

Unfortunately, that isn't so:

“On Monday, 11 Turkish government ministers descended on Syria to sign a pile of cooperation agreements with Iran's Arab lackey. The Foreign Ministry didn't even have a chance to write apologetic talking points explaining that brazen move before Syria announced it was entering a military alliance with Turkey and would be holding a joint military exercise with the Turkish military. Speechless in the wake of Turkey's move to hold military maneuvers with its enemy just two days after it canceled joint training with Israel, Jerusalem could think of no mitigating explanation for the move.”

In other words, a NATO member state has signed a military cooperation agreement with an Iranian puppet state. It's as if the Dutch had signed an military cooperation agreement with Hungary during the height of the Cold War.

This is a shocking development, to say the least, with terrible implications for our security.

0’s abandonment of the Czechs and the Poles at least garnered a lot of press comment. This is equally bad, and the MSM is AWOL.

This is disturbing.

I agree with your views on this. I would go further to state that if Turkey wants the relationship with Iran, then fine. Cut it out of NATO and part as friends. There isn’t a chance in hell I’d allow them to do both these things. Iran or us Turkey. Make your choice.

What’s more, Turkey must have gotten the green light from Obama and Co. It’s been a lot more level headed than this, and I suspect Obama’s B.S. stance is what spurred this.

It could very well be Turkey’s way of showing utter displeasure with NATO members over blocking Turkey from entering the European Union.

I guess 0b0z0 was supposed to help convincing the Euros, but failed, as usual. The US was slapped as part of NATO rather than a direct anti-US action.

Just sayin’
