German defense minister attacks Washington and Ankara… Turkish attack on the east of the Euphrates revealed the lack of credibility of the United States
German Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer attacked both Turkey and the United States against the backdrop of the Turkish military operation east of the Euphrates.
At a conference of the Bavarian Christian Social Party (CSU) in Munich, the minister said there were two serious implications for US and Turkish policies.
They turned their backs on those who were fighting ISIS on the ground for them in reference to the SDF.
“This raises a real question about the reliability of our ally within NATO, the most powerful country in the world.
The second is Turkey, Minister Kramp-Karrenbauer wondered whether Turkey is a NATO partner or not.
“If the norm is that every member of NATO who feels threatened from a neighboring region, violates the laws and uses the power of arms, it threatens the very foundation of the post-war regime”, she said.
Germany strongly condemned Turkish military intervention in northeastern Syria, and banned new permits to export arms and military equipment to Turkey, but that did not include old deals.
