NEWS FLASH – Erdogan Stirs The Pot!

Turkish Armed Forces have arrived at the T-4 Air Base and Palmyra Military Airfield in the Homs Governor-ate of central Syria, which were targeted recently by the Israeli Air Force. 

According to senior Turkish defense officials, S-400 and Hisar-O+ surface-to-air missile batteries will be deployed to the bases alongside long-range strike drones, as Turkey claims to increase plans of strikes against ISIS, in reality this move complicates Israeli attacks in Syria and increases potential for a Israeli/Turkish confrontation.  This also complicates NATO’s involvement in the Middle East.  NATO articles call on “any attack on one is considered an attack on all”! 

Erdogan is likely intentionally trying to draw the U.S. and Europe into a Middle East confrontation.  Trump should move to remove Turkey from NATO!  No NATO member should be threatening a U.S. Ally
