Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan has promised that “Ankara will produce first long-range missiles by 2021.”
This is a matter of concern coming from an Islamic leader as ambitious and aggressive as Erdogan.
- He accused Europe of starting a war between Islam and Christianity in 2017, after a ruling by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) that allowed employers to ban headscarves, stemming from the case of a Muslim receptionist who was fired for wearing her headscarf to work in Belgium. Subsequently, the ECJ ruled that “bans on the wearing of any political, philosophical or religious sign does not constitute direct discrimination.”
- This past summer, Erdogan slammed Austria’s move to close mosques and expel Turkish-funded imams. He called the decision anti-Islamic and promised a response, adding that “these measures taken by the Austrian prime minister are, I fear, leading the world toward a war between the cross and the crescent.”
- Erdogan has also threatened to make “sick Europe” pay “for ‘humiliating & oppressing’ Turks,” and he has called for “an ‘army of of Islam’ to attack Israel on all sides.”
- Last winter, Erdogan declared jihad on the Kurds and dispatched an army of thousands of soldiers to “decimate” them, following “conquest prayers” in 90,000 mosques, calling on Muslims to be “ruthless against unbelievers.”
Erdogan is preparing for jihad in service of his dream of a revived Ottoman Empire. He needs to be stymied in his efforts to build long-range missiles, just as Iran’s nuclear ambitions have been reined in by Trump. The Trump administration has already threatened Turkey with sanctions if Ankara goes ahead with its production of long-range missiles.
“Turkey war warning: Erdogan promises Ankara will produce first LONG-RANGE MISSILES by 2021,” by Alahna Kindred, Express, October 31, 2018:
TURKEY’S President said it will produce its first long-range missiles by 2021.
President RecepTayyip Erdogan said today that work to build Turkey’s first domestically produced long-range air missile system has already begun.
It is unclear how far its missiles will travel, but its first delivery is planned for 2021.
Erdogan is also buying a S-400 surface-to-air missiles from Russia.
The S-400 is a ground-to-air defence system designed to hit air attack weapons, and is capable of destroying aerial targets up to 400 kilometres away, earning it prestige as one of the most effective missiles of its type in the world.
The state-owned Anadolu news agency quoted Minister Hulusi Akar as saying last week that the installation of the S-400 missile system would begin in next October.
Turkey and Russia signed a loan agreement on the sale of the missiles to Ankara, Turkey’s capital, in 2017.
But the United States has raised concerns over the deal, fearing that if Turkey purchases the S-400 alongside Nato’s F-35 stealth jets then information about the aircrafts capabilities could be relayed back to Moscow.
The US has threatened Turkey with sanctions if Ankara goes ahead with the deal. …..

Here we go! Obviously, with his expanding population, he sees the need for a bit more ‘lebensraum’ in the near future, so it will only be a matter as to when he’ll make his ‘last territorial claim’ to rebuild the Ottoman Empire, and he’ll justify it all by blaming it on ‘Christian aggression’ because there’ll be no one else to blame after Western Europe has run out of Jewish people followiing the current antisemitism campaign. And, of course, all the good, righteous, ‘enlightened’ liberal establishment will carry on sitting on its collective backside proclaiming the beneifits of ‘multicutluralism’ whilst sweeping the international rape statistics under the carpet and enjoying the enrichment of the ‘Religion of Peace’.

What is most alarming in this is the UNVARNISHED FANATICISM of Erdogan and that which he inspires in his followers. The Turkish ethnicity is one of the most HETEROGENEOUS ones in the world, due to the Ottoman Empire’s importation of SEX SLAVES from virtually every country. There is no ‘Turkish race’ anymore than there is a ‘Californian race’. Nevertheless, Turks are extremely racist … facts being no obstacle.
This seems to be the motto of Erdogan and his fanatical TURKISH-SUPREMACIST followers: “FACTS ARE NO OBSTACLE.”
The Globalists should take note that ERDOGAN IS NO GLOBALIST ! Erdogan is an OTTOMAN REVIVALIST. Erdogan is enflaming GROUP NARCISSISM.

The proponents of Turkish membership in the European Union are very silent now. I guess that this impossible idea is dead and buried forever now.
Even if mr. Erdogan is of mongolian horserider descent, he also can ride only one horse at at time. It seems that he has gone back to riding camels – more in line with his capacity and temperament.
Sun says
No worries, Germany will gladly support him whenever he orders it.
The German government is seeking to push forward a massive project to modernize Turkey’s railways and will help finance the multibillion-euro project. They talk about 35 billion euros taxpayer money – money Germany badly needs for their own infrastrucure.
Therefore, no camel rides for the Sultan, he takes the train – and because of Mrs Merkel’s generous donation, he has plenty of money left for the missiles project.

Yes–one of the few good things now is that we are seldom hearing about granting Turkey EU membership any more.
Anne Smith says
Yes, it serves to demonstrate how foolish and uninformed David Cameron was when he railed about Turkey not being allowed into the EU, and why Britain is now in such a mess after his term as Prime Minister, succeeded by his chosen Home Secretary (a total failure in the job) Mrs May, who is now proving to be even worse than Cameron and probably a good deal more stupid – if that were possible.

Threat of sanctions will not stop Turkey from producing neccessary military hardwares to safeguard its interests. After all, sanctions by treacherous evil United States is becoming futile as Turkey is ditching the Dollar as means of international trade and discouraging imports from evil United States. Idiot armed robber state!!

The appalling Ibrahim itace muhammed wrote:
Threat of sanctions will not stop Turkey from producing neccessary military hardwares to safeguard its interests.
………………….
By “safeguarding its interests” Ibrahim itace muhammed means Turkey reinstating the savage Caliphate over as much as the globe as it can–with the concomitant suffering of its neighbors.
The Ottoman Empire invaded and conquered Greece and the Balkans–as well as Israel. It used the Infidels there are Janissaries and sex slaves.
Ibrahim itace muhammed himself has affirmed that Muslims have the right to use their victims as sex slaves.

The US placed sanctions on Turkey because they had arrested American Pastor Andrew Brunson on false charges–not because they ditched the dollar. Of course, countries can base their economies on any currency they so desire.
Many nations use the US dollar because it is among the most stable currencies in the world.
Hilariously, though, Ibrahim itace muhammed claimed several months ago that the US dollar was actually worth $0. I guess he hopes that if he keeps saying that it will magically happen…
Meanwhile, Turkey’s economy is tanking:

“Declining”? How does this jibe with Ibrahim itace muhammed’s claim from several months ago that the US dollar was worth $0?
But he is, of course, wrong about the US economy declining, as well:

Both of these stories are from just a few hours ago. How current is this?
And the US per capita gdp is six times that of Turkey–other Muslim countries are even worse off. For instance, the US per capita gdp is 118 times that of Somalia–it’s similar to that of Afghanistan and Yemen.
The only reason Turkey is doing as comparatively well as it is is because of years of secular Kemalism–which still have residual benefits, despite Erdogan’s program of extensive Islamization.

It appears like there are two leaders in the Islamic world who are trying to build up military strength for control in the Islamic World and to conquer other countries with Islam. From the Sunni end you have Recep Tayyip Erdogan who wants to rebuild a Neo Ottoman Empire with him as its Caliph. On the Shia end you Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who wants to expand Iran’s influence and power. Both of these men are dangerous leaders. They both need to be restrained by various sanctions and diplomatic actions.

” A war between the Cross and the crescent”
This is impossible for muslims to understand but authentic Christians who know and understand Biblical prophecy should get this:-
While this is a time of trial for Christians{see Matthew chpt 24,chpt 25,2 Thess 2},the outcome,the checkmate, has in effect already been established{2 Thess 1 v 5-10}
The Cross has already defeated the crescent.
The Cross cannot be defeated by the crescent.
The Kingdom of God cannot be defeated by any earthly power!
Biblical prophecy,given to Christians ,describes the future to us {but to God it is the past tense}
Just think about it.
the crescent cannot defeat the Cross;evil will be defeated in God’s promised Justice.It has already been explained in the prophetic teachings of Jesus and the Apostles what shall come to pass and how it shall end.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
FYI, prophecies in mithraist bible have been proving to be false. Eg, in the same Matthew Jesus was reported to have told the audience standing infront him that they will not taste death until this world has ended, and those standing infront of him have dead for the past 2018 ago and this world is still in existence. So, Islam will prevail and mithraist christianity vanishes.
gravenimage says
Recall that Ibrahim itace muhammed has also claimed that the Bible instructs parents to taste their daughters vaginas to see if they taste like wine, urge their sons to have sex with their daughters, and tells Christian churchmen to crucify women while using them as sex slaves. Of course, none of this is actually in the Bible, either.

Agreed with AP. Erdogan is a very dangerous man and so is the man in Iran. They both are so influenced by their narcisme and their hunger for world power and money and I think Mano is right too, and who’s turn is it after Israel? And this is all happening because our splendid Western governments were too coward and sold us out.
You know, if you want to be bad, but real bad, you can always continue to do worse and worse things, that is because you are to uneducated to talk rational. But God knows what is happening!
Everything is known, all your big plans and leftists all your plans too. You can’t hide anything or yourselves anymore. All the plans made , for the NWO too, all those years. DOWN THE DRAIN !. We have to stay calm within ourselves and only send out positive thoughts for ourselves.
The USA should be glad with Trump, he might not be so polite with the Elite, but he will draw the swamp and I am glad he is there, there is no other strongman in the States at the moment. `he is the only one’ at the moment and he is the best for this job, but he has a lot on his mind and to do, so stay on supporting him.

DEFENSE NEWS:
Turkey hires 3 companies to build indigenous long-range air defense system
ANKARA, Turkey — A three-strong team of Turkish companies has been tapped to build the country’s first indigenous long-range air and anti-missile system, according to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The president said the first deliveries under the “Siper” program, or “Ditch” in Turkish, are expected at the end of 2021.
The program partners are state-controlled military electronics specialist Aselsan, Turkey’s largest defense company; state-controlled missile-maker Roketsan; and Tubitak Sage, a defense specialist and part of Turkey’s state scientific research institute.
“This system is crucial for Turkey’s defense and they (the partners) are taking a new step with this project that will upgrade Turkey in the league of defense systems,” Erdogan said.
To augment its long-range defenses, Turkey decided in December to buy the Russian-made S-400 system. When the system is deployed on Turkish soil, the country will become the first NATO member to operate the S-400. Turkish Defence Minister Hulusi Akar has said deployment of the S-400 will begin by October 2019.
Erdogan’s announcement comes as Aselsan and Roketsan are in talks with Franco-Italian company Eurosam for the co-production of its SAMP/T system in Turkey. The talks are ongoing under a conceptual definition contract with the European producer.
Scheduled to last 18 months, the definition study is meant to prepare a development and production contract for the future system, which is expected to meet operational requirements of the Turkish Air Force.
