He says:
“Turkey’s President praised Hamas as a ‘liberation group,’ Turkey’s military fired at our troops in Syria, and Turkey’s police imprison those who dare to criticize the leader. That doesn’t sound like the actions of an ‘ally’ deserving of $23 billion worth of American firepower,” Paul said in a statement.
What is your view on Turkey ??
79-13. Not even close. It probably wasn’t a consideration at the time, but the Founders should have limited terms for the House and the Senate.
The voting should be towards any efforts to remove Turkey from nato and keeping advanced technologies out of Islamic hands.
The F16 sale was the reason Turkey allowed Sweden into NATO. Politics is ugly and follows its own logic.
What’s amazing is that Turkey hasn’t taken over the Greek islands near its cost. Probably a lot of politics keeping that from happening, but it’s probably on the agenda as whoever owns those islands gets to develop the gas and oil reserves.
Whatever happened to all those military officer coup plotters in Turkey?.......
“What is your view on Turkey?”
They’re muzzies. Therefore they are not to be trusted.

Well, now we know 79 U.S. Senators are traitors to the United States of America.
“...police imprison those who dare to criticize the leader. “
Is this about Ukraine ?
Ally?
Turkey dictator Erdogan despises Israel and praises Hamas.
Erdogan has radicalized Turkey Muslims and completely destroyed the secular elements in the government, the military, the education system, the general economy (inflation near 70%), and the news media.
Thank you, Rand, for at least making a little noise about this travesty.
Sigh. Our diverse, equitable and fake pronoun-tolerant US Air Force will be facing OUR OWN jets in the air one of these days.
The voting should be towards any efforts to remove Turkey from nato and keeping advanced technologies out of Islamic hands.
Erdagon is perhaps the most dangerous man on planet Earth. He has taken Turkey from a Republic to a religious dictatorship. Not just any religion but the most evil one of all. He even had American protesters beaten up on America soil while he was here.
My view? A vile horrible place, with nice tourist attractions.
That article is mind bending. “Defeats bid to stop.” Can someone put that in simpler language? Thanks.
NATO wins another.
NATO is largely running US foreign policy, and the IC.
Is this a double or a triple negative? Defeated the bid to stop the sale ... double cancels each other out so the sale is going thru? I realize this is how DC speaks, but you would think journalists would translate for us.
With the Baltic Sea now a NATO lake, there is no reason to include Turkey as a NATO member. Turkey is no longer a strategic state against Russia considering the Black Sea fleet has been decimated.
The 79 modernization kits may be allowed to help the Russian to counter Ukraine.
