Erdogan says Turkey troops pulled from NATO drill amid new tensions

[cloud4000]

I like Erdogan for his foreign policy the man know how to slap Europe.

What to do you expect when Erdogan slaps Europe, EU, and the entire West on a regular basis?

Not Europe, mainly US. BTW Europe is USA's lap dog

Iran, Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Algeria, Qatar, Kuwait, Pakistan, Oman, Libya and Bangladesh should form an Islamic army from their soldiers and military equipment and force Arab Sheiks around Persian gulf to join in.

That's the only way to unite Muslims, otherwise should wait for USA's meddling in our regional affairs and then more wars in the region.

you are going to far, just Pakistan, Turkey and Iran are enough. All three connected by land, must have open economies and strategic partners.

If Pakistan Turkey and Iran form an Alliance this is the birth of the Next Supper power in the world but uncle SAM will never let that happen lol.

When an organization like OIC is so moribund, what can we expect from a grand Muslim alliance? Currently, the Muslim is divided and fighting over itself with no sign of it abating anytime soon. The Sunnis fear an Iran-led Shias and vise versa. This is a laughable idea, at best. And stop blaming the US for everything that goes wrong in ME. There is more than one chef in the kitchen.

good decision. Should leave Nato as well.

Turkey can leave NATO if it wants. It just has to make the decision to do so. So far, it hasn't. Perhaps the benefits outweigh the cost...for the moment.

Turkey has been a NATO member since 1952 (it's been 65 years) and is the 2nd largest standing army in the "alliance". This is further proof that NATO is in a state of quiet disintegration. Western hypocrites will pay for their backstabbing. Attacks and insults like these will only make Turkey want to be more independent and work closer with Russia, China, Pakistan, Iran, etc.

Disintegration is a strong word, more like state of flux. NATO will may be replaced with a Euro-centric defense pact sans Turkey and a greatly reduced role of the US. I support and is long-time due.

LOL NATO is joke more a force less. If Turkey pulls out NATO will be only a JOKE. Russia is knocking at the door and NATO needs Turkey rather than Turkey needs NATO.

Turkey is buying Russian S-400 SAM system and wants warmer relations with Russia. At this moment, Turkey is acting more like an enemy than a friend of NATO. This is not going unnoticed.

This is no "individual" mistake, even though NATO might claim otherwise to save face. Incidents of this scale don't happen by accident. This was very clearly NATO trying to send a message to Turkey, and Turkey rightfully responded back by telling NATO to go fvck itself. Simple as that.

NATO has become an ineffective, irrelevant, delusional and self-destructive entity. Everyone knows it's a joke now that the US has proven itself to be extremely unreliable as an ally in all fronts. That's why the Europeans are now forming their own military alliance, leaving the Yanks out.

Without going into detail over the incident, Erdogan said an image of Ataturk and his own name were used "and these were the targets".

...Some Turkish media speculated that his comments indicated that images of Ataturk and Erdogan had been used for target practice in the exercise -

Ummm. If this is true, then imo what Erdogan did was proper - but Erdogan is not entitled to the benefit of doubt and must supply full details, if only so the offending troops can be disciplined.

Talk to me when someone accidentally replaces Ghandi's photo with that of Hitler.

I dont even know what you are talking about. I did mean to use the word accidentally. My point is, these things happen on purpose, not accidentally.

 

[navtrek]

Can you list me one, only one google search term that one might use to look for "an enemy" that would result in both Ataturk's and Erdogan's photos?

That is like saying he was smashing the keyboard and accidentally wrote a book.

Bro don't get offended that's not my intention. But google search is personalized what results i get will be different when compared to what you search.

Well I knew about Atta turk when i was 9 years old so this not a human error and regarding JF-17 image that done to shame HAL for their failure to provide India with a fighter jet. I mean what the hell why is every body in India rejecting Tejas. A jet that was destined to be glory of the nation has become a shame for HAL with every one rejecting it.

lol nothing like that it was a copy paste mistake from a guy who prepared the document google gave him JF-17 instead of LCA lol it all depends on the key words used.

HAHAHAHAHA blame it on google wow wtf lol

lol you are just laughing at yourself, without having a clue of how a search engine works.

Good that the details are out and that action has been taken.

This means lack of education. Dont blame it on google an educated person knows what he or she is doing. Why the hell would he not recognize an Image of his own jet and mistakes it for image of an enemy jet? Blame it on goggle is becoming a new normal I think then. lol

Good that the details are out and that action has been taken.

I would rather say a fall back strategy than what is being portrayed by Europe.

Dude your statement is based on an assumption that every clerk knows about all home made and enemy jets think about it.

Russians must be experiencing a popcorn shortage watching NATO slowly destroy itself.

Okay not every one knows so let the idot that gave the clerk the job which he knew nothing about. Like the In case of Turkey, NATO know about Turkey buying a Russian defense system but they dont know about Atta Turk. come on man few are mistakes not all are. don't compare apple with Oranges. We all know what this all anti turk grudge is about.
