US suggested Turkey transfer Russian-made missile system to Ukraine: Sources

US officials are keen to seize this moment to draw Turkey back into Washington's orbit. Efforts to find"creative" ways to improve the strained relationship have accelerated in recent weeks, even though no specific proposal has so far gained traction, US and Turkish sources have said.

It was not clear what exactly she meant and the State Department has not answered questions about her comments. The White House did not respond to a request for comment about the suggestion made during her visit to Turkey. One source familiar with US thinking said that Washington's floating of the possibility came as a result of the renewed effort to improve ties at a time when Ankara has been spooked by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Turkey shares a maritime border with Ukraine and Russia in the Black Sea and has good ties with both. It has said the invasion is unacceptable and voiced support for Ukraine, but has also opposed sanctions on Moscow while offering to mediate.

Damn the USA..

Looks like US is instigating more wars and not really looking at brokering peace.🤔

Damn. I’m sure Turkey is chomping at the bit at the opportunity to get dragged into this. fail Why Turkish missiles and not Polish Migs?
