The Department of Defense announced Monday that it “suspended” deliveries of F-35 fighter jet parts and manuals to Turkey over the Middle Eastern country’s decision to purchase a Russian air defense system over Washington’s objection.

The U.S. had agreed to sell 100 of its latest, fifth-generation F-35 fighters to Turkey, initially planning to deliver the first two aircraft to Turkey in June. However, top government officials repeatedly have threatened to stop the sale if Ankara did not abandon efforts to buy the Russian S-400 system.

“The United States has been clear that Turkey’s acquisition of the S-400 is unacceptable,” said acting Pentagon spokesman Charles Summers Jr., who added: “[U]ntil they forgo delivery of the S-400, the United States has suspended deliveries and activities associated with the stand-up of Turkey’s F-35 operational capability.

Good prayer Bonnie. I agree
Thank you Lord that you give wisdom and discernment to our leaders. Give them boldness to speak the truth. May we never compromise the truths that were written and lived out by our founding fathers and ordained by God.

Thank You Lord for the answer to prayer to raise up leaders of our nation willing to stand against war and against those that want to war with our allie Isreal. Lord You knew the intent and You thwarted it. Father, we pray for all our leaders to bow the knee to You and if You dont call them please protect Your chosen as they are preyed upon by those that hate them, hate Your Son Jesus and hate you. Babble their tongues, reflect their arrows of evil. Thank You Lord for how You gave wisdom to our founding Fathers through prayer. Please lift up leaders of Your choosing, all for Your Glory and our good. Amen
