The mindless TDS of the left incites them to embrace both paranoid McCarthyism and Cold War Two.

Lockheed Martin shareholders approve.

Cha-ching, thank you, come again.

The Assadists will simply stand aside and let the Turks do their dirty work for them.

Daesh is a useful opponent for Damascus, they want neither the Kurds nor Daesh to be completely wiped out.

Damascus is propped up by fear of internal enemies.

The Russians are courting the Turks for control of the Bosporus, so Mister Ivan will stand aside as well.

The Kurds really have no allies, they simply have enemies all around them.

1000 US personnel do not alter the balance of power in any case, America's leverage is BMD in Romania.

Romania bypasses the Bosporus and puts Aegis right up in Ivan's kitchen.

Access to the Black Sea by land in the Balkans.

The New Trace is at sea. NATO in Romania v. Russian Black Sea Fleet from Sevastopol.

The Turks have been forming a strategic partnership with the British, through BAE Systems.

The British are desperate for customers, the Italians are also eager to sell to the Turks.

The Russians and Chinese of course are trying to flip Turkey, so they will offer their top o' the line kit.

The Turks have their own already massive and expanding military industrial complex.

Germans are virtue signalling, the Turks are playing realpolitik.

The Turks are replacing their German Leopard 2 with Turkish designed and built domestic MBT

Altay.

The Turks aspire to be the counter point to Israel.

Turkey aspires to supersede NATO and become a regional power unto itself.

They are leveraging their position in both Cold War Two and the Middle Eastern Theater War.
