The F-35 issue has nothing to do with "the Muslim world" and everything to do with Turkey's purchase of Russian strategic SAM systems which must be integrated with Turkish and NATO IFF and other identification and communication measures. Turkey had signed up to purchase F-35s but that order was turned off because of Turkey's purchase of Russian SAMs.

Russian contractors help maintain and configure those strategic SAMs and would require technical information about the F-35 to integrate them into the Turkish defensive system. It would be incredibly foolish for the US to give away technical information about the F-35 to Russian nationals.

No, he's a self-aggrandizing jerk who made his name criticizing American policy regarding Iraq. I have no problem with that but lately he's become a mouthpiece for Russia because he refuses to accept the western media's portrayal of the invasion of Ukraine. Oh….and he's been arrested twice and convicted once of making inappropriate approaches to underage girls online, including exposing himself. I respect his military service but in all other respects the guy is a douchebag.
 
What?!? He's American?
 
He also famously declared of the invasion of Iraq, "The United States is going to leave Iraq with its tail between its legs, defeated. It is a war we can not win ... We do not have the military means to take over Baghdad and for this reason I believe the defeat of the United States in this war is inevitable ... Every time we confront Iraqi troops we may win some tactical battles, as we did for ten years in Vietnam, but we will not be able to win this war, which in my opinion is already lost."
 

If not, then they're a virulent internal threat to the US. He's loudly promoted the idea that the Bucha Massacre was conducted by Ukraine and that Russia wasn't to blame for it. I'm all for free speech but sometimes it really bites when idiots like him directly undermine actual evidence.

I understand his antipathy to the western media but what about western intelligence services? Are they all part of the great conspiracy against Russia? Oh, and not forgetting the UN's war crimes investigators. If Ukraine perpetrated these crimes, why would they actively invite investigators to view the scenes and gather evidence? Yes, it could be staged but the scale of stuff that's been reported as under investigation means it would be impossible to perfectly mock-up all the evidence.

He's another of these oxygen thieves who makes bold claims and when called on them jumps straight to conspiracy theories. He's incredibly arrogant, and firmly of the opinion that he's right and everyone else is an idiot...and yet, AFAIK, he only made it to major in the military. There simply aren't words....
