Trump signs bill blocking transfer of F-35 fighter jets to Turkey
U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday signed a spending bill that blocks the transfer of the country's F-35 new generation fighter jets to Turkey.

According to spending bill signed by Trump on Friday, delivery of the jets to Turkey will be blocked until the U.S. Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense submit an update to the report regarding the purchase of Turkey of the S–400 missile defense system from the Russian Federation.

In earlier report to the Congress, Pentagon said Turkey’s purchase of the Russian S-400 missile systems could result in Ankara’s potential expulsion from the F-35 program, as well as affecting its acquisition of other weapons including Boeing Co. ’s CH-47F Chinook helicopter and Lockheed’s F-16 fighter and UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters.
On Monday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan confirmed the purchase and stated that there was no turning back from receiving the S-400 air defense systems from Russia in 2019.

Turkey expects the delivery of the defence missiles to start this year with Russian officials promising the delivery within this year.

The Congressional bill requires the U.S. departments to include a detailed description of plans for the imposition of sanctions, if Turkey goes ahead with the S-400 systems pursuant to section 231 of the Countering Russian Influence in Europe and Eurasia Act of 2017 (Public Law 115–44).

The Congress asks U.S. secretaries to deliver the report by November 1, 2019.

The same spending bill also blocks the sale of weapons to Erdoğan's security guards unless Secretary of State Mike Pompeo informs Congress that the guards charged with the assault on protestors in Washington, DC in May of 2017 have been brought to the justice.

Turkey does not belong in NATO, and should be shown the door. Erdogan can go jerk off to his vision of a new Ottoman Empire with his Islamic fundamentalist buddies.
 
Turkey is not part of Europe and it is criminal they were ever involved in NATO.
 
inclined to agree, but I know this guy from Turkey who does smog checks down at the 76 station and he's hella cool.
he hates terrorists, loves living in America and always has my cars pass smog.
so he's got that going for him, which is nice.

How long have you guys been dating?
 
Trump did it?

He should not have done that. That was wrong.
 
Good. Turkey is a bunch of assholes
 
But we could use the money no? Let turkey bomb the PKK terrorists. Who cares.
 
Good. They don't need our advanced technology. And we don't need them in NATO, frankly
 
Hurray for correct bipartisan support! Normally the two sides only agree when it's something that royally sucks
 
Music to my ears

Fuck turkey and the Islamic dictator ergodan
 
i dont think there is a single European or nato member in this thread who supports turkey being apart of NATO or the alliance. If anything most of the Europeans are pretty much tired
of turkey's bitching fest and Ottoman empire dreams.
