“What does Turkey get?”
Some arms sales that had been held up, but probably most significantly, is that Sweden and Finland have to effectively renounce and withdraw support for the PKK, a Kurdish separatist political party that has killed a lot more Turks than the IRA did Englishmen. Sweden had been a kind of safe haven for them in exile.
“Turkey, Finland and Sweden have signed a memorandum that addresses Turkey’s concerns, including around arms exports and the fight against terrorism,” he added.”
We wonder what is in the memorandum, what concessions did Finaland and Sweden make, what extra “benes” are to flow to Turkey, and is there any secret codicil to the agreement.
I don’t trust Turkey under Erdogan or his party. I don’t consider them good NATO members, regardless of Russia.
You think so, Vladimir Vladimirovich?
Good! So to Putin’s anti-American, commie/fascist fan club, what’s Putin the Mouth going to do about it? Where are those nukes he promised?
He’s chicken! Pwaawwk, pok, pok, pok! ;D
“Spell out the benefits to majority of Americans in the lower 90% earning bracket from spending Trillions of BORROWED money in (Iraq+Afghanistan+Vietnam and other sundry places). Would that money have been better spent in building American infrastructure, subsidizing STEM education, and strengthen social security & Medicare?”
...stop, it hurts...
Global conquest? They can barely hold eastern Ukraine.
You are delusional.
The Ukraine is accepting volunteers. Get your ass over there.
No, I'm not delusional...they are.
I’m sure they “desire” global conquest, but those odds are asymptotic to zero.
Russia’s demographics are terrible.
Replacement population births are 2.1. Russia is currently 1.5.
Are you for real?
Feb 1, 2022By 2026, the national defense industry in the U.S. is projected to have 742,589 workers.
Total US Employment. CES employment peaked for the US in February 2020 at 152,504,000
Every American can’t be working in defense industry. DUH!!!!
Since you mention reality let me introduce you to it...
High earners are the ones spending at “retail, hotels, restaurants” you posted about.
Tell that to your Socialist Workers Party of America friends at your next Putin Stooge meeting.
A war between NATO and Russia with a few nukes thrown around would be the perfect excuse for The Great Reset.
I'm actually agreeing with you, and China is in the same demographic boat.
Well that was confusing then...
