RE:Erdogan agreed with Putin to form natural gas hub in Turkeythis was obviously done to to deter Bitme(smelly feely) from bombing that pipeline, if he did that would certainly pit Turkey against nothing NATO its good for us that this was implemented, sort of an insurance policy.
the SPR release should be a criminal offense to leave the US in a tenuous petro fix threatening national security especially if Xi was to act upon Taiwan guess uour ships and planes would be solar edifices of hubris.
