NATO chief says prepared to send troops to defend Turkey

BRUSSELS | By Robin Emmott

NATO said it was prepared to send troops to Turkey to defend its ally after violations of Turkish airspace by Russian jets bombing Syria and Britain scolded Moscow for escalating a civil war that has already killed 250,000 people.

Officials at the U.S.-led alliance are still smarting from Russia's weekend incursions into Turkey's airspace near northern Syria and NATO defense ministers are meeting in Brussels with the agenda likely to be dominated by the Syria crisis.

"NATO is ready and able to defend all allies, including Turkey against any threats," NATO's Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told reporters as he arrived for the meeting.

"Don't be surprised if Russian weapons and SFs’ show up in the Kurds defacto capital in the next few days or so."

Russia has announced, repeatedly, the Kurds must be part of a political solution and must be at the table.

Yes, NATO also didn’t complain when Turkey bombed the Kurds, they’re also not complaining about Turkey threatening to “ethnically cleanse” Armenia AGAIN.

What about Turkey arresting journalists, human rights abuses....yes, NATO and also EU silence.

Again total hypocrisy.

I got a feeling Putin isn’t too afraid of Obama and his friends in NATO.

I also say I will not support any US troops fighting alongside muslims against the Russians.

You are forgetting that BHO2 has disarmed the US of nukes. We’re very vulnerable.

[“Unfortunately we the Muslims lost our aim to head towards Jerusalem. The water of our eyes froze making us blind, and our hearts that was destined to beat for Jerusalem is now instead conditioned for rivalry being in a state of war with each other.” -Erdogan, May 2015]

Very Ezekiel 38-ish.

He’s dangerous, and this is a man who NATO is perfectly comfortable with. What does that say about NATO?

Erdogan at one time, since 2009, threatened to send destroyers to escort “relief” to Gaza. Bibi told him that would be a very bad idea.

If Turkey got involved against Israel by some means, the USA and GB, among others, would be obligated under NATO agreements to go to war against Israel.

Sounds impossible. Perhaps.

The US and Russia will so sow chaos in Syria, Turkey will be seen as a moderate force.

Turkey (Erdogan, already called the new Calipha by his party) => Gog & Magog, this is Turkey, reassembling the Ottoman Empire -which Turkey controlled.

Turkey has the second largest standing army in NATO => they will be cheered on!

Erdogan sometimes writes poetry, one of his short poems:

“Mosques are our barracks, domes our helmets, minarets our bayonets, believers our soldiers. This holy army guards my religion. Almighty, our journey is our destiny, the end is martyrdom.”

Amazing, NATO and Obama scream at Putin for bombing the terrorists and cheerlead the wannabe New Sultan, who writes incredibly charming poems.

I believe Turkey is House of Togarmah from Ezekiel 38. Gog and Magog war participant, as you mentioned.
