The U.S. will cancel the sale of F-35 fighter jets to Turkey after Ankara decided to buy a rival missile defense system from Russia, U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed Tuesday.
Russia’s S-400 is considered one of the most advanced air-defense systems in the world.
The U.S. has long argued Turkey’s purchase of the Russian system not only risks the security of NATO members, it also violates the 2017 law threatening sanctions for any purchase of sophisticated Russian technology — the Countering Russian Influence in Europe and Eurasia Act of 2017.
Trump blamed the Obama administration for never reaching a deal to sell a comparable American missile defense system to Turkey.
“Because they have a system of missiles that’s made in Russia, they’re now prohibited from buying over 100 planes,” Trump said of Turkey during in a Cabinet meeting. “I would say that (F-35 manufacturer) Lockheed isn’t exactly happy. That’s a lot of jobs. And frankly I’ve always had a very good relationship” with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Trump said….
As Trump confirmed the end of the sale to Turkey, fellow NATO ally UK received a second training squadron of state-of-the-art F-35 Lightning jets at RAF Marham.
The arrival of 207 Squadron will see all training on the next-generation jet conducted in the UK for the first time.
This is the third tranche of F-35s to arrive in the UK.
617 Dambusters Squadron arrived at their new permanent home last year and completed their first operational F-35 mission in the fight against Islamic State in June. (Excerpted from Breitbart News article by Simon Kent)

Lord, we know that the growing alliance between Russia and Turkey is a threat to Europe and especially a threat to Israel. Lord, we pray for the peace of Jerusalem and the protection of your people everywhere. Please protect America and Western Europe from all threats, foreign and domestic.
Praise God I am so glad. Like Iran, Turkey will use them against the USA. So thankful that prayers to stop this sale has been answered. Thank you Lord Jesus.

Dear Lord God Almighty thank You for everything. Thank You for Your continued protection of the United States. Please Lord watch over us and our allies. The world becomes a more dangerous place with more arms. May governments focus on people and peace and not on arms. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
