Pentagon displeased with Russian-Turkish military cooperation

Turkey’s decision to press forward with a multimillion dollar weapons deal with Russia is causing concern within the Pentagon, with U.S. defense officials concerned the Russian-made systems will harm American joint operations with the NATO ally, reports Washington Times.

Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan said last week that documents for the supply of S-400 Russian anti-aircraft missile systems to Turkey were signed. At the same time, the head of state did not specify when and where exactly this deal was agreed.

The displeasure of NATO officials is explicable: by developing cooperation with Russia, Turkey shows its will to accelerate multipolar pivot and finally embrace its Eurasian destiny, though not without forthcoming American-improvised Hybrid War challenges - Kurdish insurgency, left-wing terrorism, a Color Revolution, Daesh attacks, maritime proxy hostility via Greece, engineered provocations with Turkey's other neighbors, a civil war, and/or another feeble coup attempt -- in order to throw the progressively Islamifying and Muslim Brotherhood-inspired state into such chaos that it becomes impossible for its new multipolar partners to make any substantial use of its territory in their joint quest to dismantle the unipolar world order.
