Yay-Good for #Turkey for NOT Bowing!!!- - - “Turkey to go ahead with Russia S-400 deal despite suspension from F-35 program” timesofisrael.com/turkey-to-go-a… via @timesofisrael

I have to say/admit: No Administration in #Turkey’s History, Ever, has had the “Guts” to do anything like this. Even #Ecevit despite all the rhetorics. So for this: 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻#Turkey!!

#Turkey is a “sovereign” nation: It has the inherent right to chose which countries it trades with. NO nation has the right to impose those decisions-deals. No nation. Period,

On the other hand #USA is ruled by mega corporations such as #Raytheon & #NorthropGrumman: aka the “Deep State”. The US government represents those interests Not its “People”. Pure & simple.

Well, I consider this a “Proud” moment for #Turkey. As a neutral analyst-Journalist I openly criticize the “bads” (For Ex: No media worth a fu## here; mega censorship & some real bad apples in the position of power). But this one: I applaud!!! Truly worth celebrating!
