Senator Lindsey Graham (U-DC) was apparently in Turkey around the same time as the NATO summit. According to a Twitter announcement by Graham he has returned to the U.S. hopeful to close the deal on selling F-16”s to Turkey now that Turkish President Recep Erdogan has removed opposition to Finland and Sweden joining NATO.
“I will do all in my power to support the Biden Administration’s decision to sell F-16s to the Turkish Air Force,” Graham writes.
Also adding, “These fighter jets, in the hands of our NATO allies, will create a sense of stability and provide capability to the Turkish military that is most definitely in America’s national security interests.” {link}
On Tuesday of last week Turkey removed their block of Sweden and Finland from joining NATO, and on Wednesday Joe Biden agreed to sell Turkey 40 Lockheed Martin-made F-16 fighters and nearly 80 modernization kits for its existing warplanes:

Finland now represents an additional 1,340 km (830 mi) long direct border with Russia. The border runs mostly through uninhabited taiga forests and sparsely populated rural areas.
Traitorous RINO, or DIRT as I like to call them, doing Beijing Biden, and deep states bidding. DIRT: Democrat In Republican Territory.
Graham had to go over there in the dead of night to be sure he lined his pockets with money for all the US deals made with Ukraine.
Did he stop at Epstein island for some hot dogs and pizza? Don’t all those Democrat scum like Lindy do that? I didn’t know Ms Lindy was our Ambassador to The depraved islamic territory of the turkey. I’m sure he did some mosque footsie.
