Could be worse: when the German unit with Patriot systems was sent to Turkey some years ago to defend helpless Turkey against he ongoing aggression from terribly dangerous Syria that Turkey constantly provoked back then, the Turks sent the Germans to an
empty Turkish garrison where the Germans were greeted with
fresh feces covering the ground several centimeters high in all buildings. The Germans had to clean the mess. I know from one BW insider that the actual situation was even worse than what was reported in the media back then. Later there were several incidents when Turkish military tried to bully German personnel.
The German government just stayed bent over and took the spanking with closed lips. Never no complaint, but much of apüpeasing and sweet-talking.
Nice move.
Until today I have no clue why the German Patriot missiles and the German recce Tornados are in Turkey. They are not needed, and never were seriously expected to be needed. And I wonder whether the Patriots will ever be pulled back to Germany, or whether the equipment simply will be left there for the Turks (who use older Patriots and are eager to get their hands on the more modern versions the Germans use).
