Turkey won’t face US sanctions over purchase of Russian missile defense systems -- Erdogan
2019-06-30
[RT] Ottoman Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has revealed that his US counterpart Donald Trump
...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election...
told him that The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
won’t face sanctions over its decision to purchase major missile defense systems from Russia.
You keep chirping that, Yippy. Won't you be surprised...
The countries have been at loggerheads over the Moscow-Ankara S-400 deal and the two leaders discussed the issue during a meeting on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan, on Saturday.

Erdogan told a presser after the meeting that Turkey won’t face sanctions due to its purchase of the S-400 systems and it will be permitted to buy F-35 stealth fighter jets from the US, despite the dispute.

Trump told news hounds that the S-400 deal is a "problem" for the US but noted that Turkey had been barred from purchasing its Patriot systems during the B.O. regime. He added that he will visit Turkey "soon" to improve ties with Ankara.

Ahead of the Trump meeting, Erdogan held discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin
...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances...
. During that meeting, the Ottoman Turkish leader reiterated his commitment to purchasing the Russian missile defense systems despite pressure from the US. The S-400s are due to arrive in Turkey later this summer.
