by Probably not, but Turkey is about to receive Russian S-400 missiles against US demands. More signifigantly the US will kill high level US F-35 agreements, and will not fly US planes over Turkey if it uses the Russian systems. This threatens Turkish membership in NATO.The immediate result of this in financial markets has been a substantial decline of the Turkish lira over the last several weeks.
