Washington has no decision to deploy Patriot air defense systems on Turkish border yet

The US administration has not yet made any decision at the request of Turkey to temporarily deploy Patriot American anti-aircraft missile systems (SAM) on the southern border, due to divergence of opinion. This was announced by US Special Representative for Syria James Jeffrey.

During a visit to Istanbul, Geoffrey, speaking with the U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Kelly Kraft, stated that the White House does not have a common opinion on the possible temporary deployment of Patriot air defense systems on the Syrian-Turkish border, so no decision has yet been made on this issue.

There is no consensus on what to do and how fast in the District of Columbia

- he said.

Earlier it was reported that the US State Department advocated the temporary deployment of two Patriot air defense batteries on the southern border of Turkey in order to create a no-fly zone for the Russian and Syrian aviation over Idlib. The Pentagon opposed this decision. The US military considers this venture "bad," while stating that it does not "want to set a bad precedent," which will still not change anything "in the calculations of the Russians." At the same time, both the State Department and the Pentagon say that there is no talk of selling Turkey Patriot air defense systems, the whole talk is about the temporary deployment of the complexes.

Recall that the Turkish Minister of Defense Hulusi Akar sent a request to Washington to temporarily place the Patriot anti-aircraft systems on the southern border of the country with the Syrian province of Idlib in order to close the airspace over the Idlib province for Russian and Syrian aircraft. The Pentagon said that they received the request and "in the know."

Waiting for the results of negotiations between Turkey and Russia.

[Honest Citizen]

And who is there to defend Turkey with "Patriots"?

[g1washntwn]

Americans in a clinch. They understand that the Turks need them to bring down Patriots targets on the territory of the SAR. And this is a completely different level of technology transfer and conflict. The answers to such a curtsy from the Russian Federation most likely do not please them, otherwise everything would have stood there before the start of the Turkish intervention.

They want to help, but have not yet decided how. Trump brain. So forgive them Turkey.

Imagine a sweet situation for America.

America puts the Patriots on, they shoot down our plane, and in response ours interfere with the Patriots on the TURKISH territory. Moreover, the AMERICAN "Patriots" are a legal way to bring a billion of all kinds of "marines and weapons" into the region. Active hostilities begin between Russia and Turkey. America is blissful and clapping.

How is the script? I myself know that it’s bad.

But if it worked, America would be happy. It’s impossible to push Russia’s foreheads with Ukraine; it didn’t work out with Georgia. Now recognized masters of provocation have all hope for Turkey.

I think that in Russia and Turkey they understand this well. In this case, it will be possible to organize a coup in Turkey with American help, the Americans will saddle Turkey and drive its army to Syria, Iraq and, in the future, as part of a coalition against Iran. Erdogan will then face the fate of Saddam Hussein, and Russia will be in a very delicate situation. So it is necessary to agree and freeze the situation. Commit so to speak.

Here I am about exactly the same thing - a wet American dream.

Turkey wants US intervention and NATO in the conflict. The US wants to embroil Turkey and the Russian Federation, staying on the sidelines. Yes, and the Pentagon is not completely sure of the declared effectiveness of its air defense systems.
It remains to wait.

[Ros 56]

Let them first report how their Patriots in Japan and the Saudis missed something. As the saying goes: did not boast when going to the army, boasted if you return.

[Keyser soze]

Yes, at least a hundred air defense systems can be deployed, but the Americans can’t shoot at the Russians, it will not work in Syria. This is a reason for war.

The United States will not climb, because they themselves do not understand how their Patriots will work in a real combat situation, you can completely disgrace ...

In the Pentagon, our people and it is not easy for them, remember how Stirlitz confessed with Shelenberg on football, "It became difficult to work. There are a lot of idiots who say the right words."

And it would be interesting to put the C400 and Patriot on combat alert in Turkey and see which of the complexes will hit a Greek plane over Cyprus ...

Patriot in order to close the airspace over the province of Idlib for Russian and Syrian aviation.

The sky there is already closed only to the Turks, and secondly, the United States will not go there, and it takes a lot of time, but it does not ...
