      Yeah, but they want to punish Turkey for buying the S400 system because it's a "threat to the U.S.-made F-35 fighter jet".

    The pair also asked Pompeo whether Turkey did indeed activate the S-400s' radars to detect the F-16s and whether the country has integrated the system into NATO’s tactical data link, asking whether that would “enable Russia to gather information on NATO allies.”

    Just completely getting owned from the inside out.
