Too bad more people don’t realize that.
Yes, Yes, and Yes.
... is this a deal NATO made with Turkey?
Yes.
They will stop the Islamic migration from their shores to Europe, if we threaten Russia with our presence.
NO.
When has NATO NOT advanced the cause of Islam?
Serbia?
Kosovo?
Albania?
Georgia?
South Ossetia?
Macedonia?
Greece?
Armenia?
Ukraine?
Crimea?
Donbass?
Turkey fought on the side of Germany in WWI and WWII.
Turkey has never had a “secular” government. That was lefty/muslim propaganda.
In other news, President Kennedy has sent military advisers to South Vietnam to help the freedom loving people of that great nation.
And the American Soviet Communist DemoRats that rule America today, and order NATO deployments, assassinated him for it.
You read my mind but beat me to the post. What has Turkey done for NATO? They are sabatoging the war against ISIS.

Turkey is an enemy of the American people, and all of Western Civilization.
That's only part of the deal.
Turkey also gets $5bil cash and a free hand to meddle in any way they choose in Iraq and Syria.
And they get to cleanse Turkey of Kurds.
Begins? It never ended....
It’s also possible that this is being done simply to referee the he-said/she-said BS between Turkey and Russia: neither one is particularly credible. Not to mention, now that someone is looking that knows what they are actually looking at, probably neither side will be playing these kinds of games again.
WWI, they were neutral in WWII till a few months before the end, when they generously came on our side.

You ever hear of the Armenian genocide?
The Germans helped Turkey do it in WWI.
The Ottoman–German Alliance was an alliance between the German Empire and the Ottoman Empire that was ratified on August 2, 1914, shortly following the outbreak of World War I. The alliance was created as part of a joint-cooperative effort that would strengthen and modernize the failing Ottoman military, as well as provide Germany safe passage into neighboring British colonies.
Germany needed the Ottoman Empire on its side. The Orient Express had run directly to Constantinople since 1889, and prior to the First World War the Sultan had consented to a plan to extend it through Anatolia to Baghdad under German auspices. This would strengthen the Ottoman Empire’s link with industrialised Europe, while also giving Germany easier access to its African colonies and to trade markets in India.
A secret treaty was concluded between the Ottoman Empire and the German Empire on August 2, 1914. The Ottoman Empire was to enter the war on the side of the Central Powers one day after the German Empire declared war on Russia.[1] The alliance was ratified on 2 August by many high ranking Ottoman officials, including Grand Vizier Said Halim Pasha, the Minister of War Enver Pasha, the Interior Minister Talat Pasha, and Head of Parliament Halil Bey.
However, there was no signature from the House of Osman as the Sultan Mehmed V did not sign it. According to the Constitution, the Sultan was the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, and this made the legitimacy of the Alliance questionable. This meant that the army was not able to fight on behalf of the Sultan. The Sultan himself had wanted the Empire to remain neutral. He did not wish to command a war himself and as such left the Cabinet to do much of his bidding. The third member of the cabinet of the Three Pashas Djemal Pasha also did not sign the treaty as he had tried to form an alliance with France. Not all parts of the Ottoman government accepted the Alliance.
Austria-Hungary adhered to the Ottoman–German treaty on 5 August.[2] The Ottoman Empire did not enter the war until the Ottoman Navy bombarded Russian ports on the 29 October 1914.

BARON v. WANGENHEIM
SAID HALIM
(With regard to 3: The Turks wished to use this phraseology in view of the fact that His Majesty the Sultan is the Commander-in-Chief of the Turkish army. General Liman, however, had officially informed me in advance that he had arranged a detailed agreement with the Minister of War Enver which provided the Military Mission with the actual chief command — as required by your telegram 275....)
