Trump bends the knee before the Ottoman Sultan
Poast new message in this thread
Date: August 17th, 2019 8:46 PM Author: offensive violent native As the date for delivery of Turkey’s order of a Russian S-400 air defence system drew closer, president Recep Tayyip Erdogan faced louder and louder warnings. If the shipment went ahead, US officials and analysts cautioned, then Donald Trump would have no choice but to impose sanctions that could wreak havoc on the fragile Turkish economy.
But in recent weeks, 30 planeloads of radars, missile launchers and support vehicles have arrived at an air base near Ankara, Turkey’s capital, and the threatened sanctions have not materialised. It has taken everyone by surprise.
“No one expected this outcome” says Asli Aydintasbas, a senior policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations. “Erdogan took a huge gamble and it paid off — for now.”
