If the world were sane, the following brief article from ANSAmed would put a stake in the heart of this meme once and for all. But the world is not sane, and things will presumably continue the same until the moment of catastrophe arrives:
USA and Israel Turkey’s Main Enemies, Poll
(ANSAmed) - ANKARA, JANUARY 5 - According to a poll carried out by the Turkish institute Metropoll and published today, the main enemies of the Turks are the USA and Israel. A total of 1,504 people were interviewed in December. Of these, 43% indicated that the USA poses the most serious foreign threat to their country, a Muslim but laic country, an ally of Washington and NATO members since 1952. The US threat, according to 23% of the interviewed, is followed by Israel, and 63% said that the Turkish government should freeze its ties with the Jewish State, while 28% want closer ties. Iran, which according to many Western countries is equipping itself with nuclear weapons, is considered a threat by just 3% of the interviewed, and Turkey’s traditional “enemy”, Greece, only by 2%.
Hat tip: Insubria.

No surprise here. I have not forgotten about how Turkey yanked authority for our units to invade Iraq. I remember thinking that Turkey would do something like this. It was well known that the units would be unable to re-deploy in time. This was a deliberate aid to our enemy. You find out who your real friends are when the bullets begin to fly. Turkey was and is NO ally of the United States.
YO Turkey -
