Still not possible to open Incirlik base to Germany: Turkey minister. Turkey's foreign minister said on Tuesday it is not possible to allow German lawmakers to visit troops stationed at Turkey's Incirlik air base now, although Ankara might reconsider if it saw "positive steps" from Berlin.
= "But after Germany puts a few more Euro Billions in our pocket... then Insha'allah, all is possible."
The Obama administration wanted to arm the Kurds and start an offensive on Raqqa. This would have prevented the issue from harming Trump's relationship with Erdogan. Obama wanted Trump's administration to sign off on it, because Trump would end up inheriting it. Flynn told Rice to hold off and took $500K from Turkey.
That's a pretty interesting thread, which I hadn't hear of.
