President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is not to be trusted. Financial Times: Turkish officials on Sunday detained two journalists and dozens of opposition campaigners ahead of a Nato summit in Ankara, in a continuing crackdown that has included the arrest of a stand-up comic whose satirical barbs have captured Turkey’s popular imagination. Deniz Göktaş, a 32-year-old comedian who called President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan a “dictator” in his latest set, was arrested on Friday on charges of “inciting hatred and hostility” and insulting the president. Göktaş’s 90-minute routine has garnered 11mn views after 10 days on YouTube. The latest detentions form part of an ongoing security sweep by Turkish authorities ahead of the July 7-8 Nato summit. Leaders of the 32-member military alliance including US President Donald Trump are expected to attend (Financial Times).

Florida Rep. Mike Lawler: The Administration’s push to sell F-35 fighter aircraft to Turkey raises significant national security concerns. While Turkey is a NATO ally, President Erdogan has repeatedly taken actions that call into question the country’s reliability as a strategic partner. That’s why Congress legally prohibited the transfer of F35s to Turkey in the first place (Lawler).
Mark Levin was more candid: The sale of our top F-35 jets and jet engines to the terrorist-supporting, Putin ally, and Iranian aligned Erdogan is simply indefensible. He is actively threatening Israel and Greece (which is also a NATO member). The Islamist thug has destroyed Turkish society. He has been sanctioned by our Congress for acquiring S-400 advanced mobile SAMs from Putin (Levin).
