Here’s Why Turkey Could Be Israel’s Next Target! w/ Ray McGovern

Jimmy and his guest Ray McGovern discuss whether a potential US withdrawal from NATO would allow Israel to attack Turkey, noting that Turkey is part of the Greater Israel Project and that if the US leaves NATO, it would no longer be bound by Article Five to defend a NATO member. McGovern argues that while Israel has "saber-rattled" against Turkey, they “have their hands full now" with Lebanon and Syria, and Turkey is "really strong," making an Israeli attack unlikely.

McGovern shares a personal anecdote about Senator John Warner (former head of the Armed Services Committee) gripping his arm "like a vice" and walking away when McGovern warned him that Israel was planning to attack Iran, illustrating what McGovern calls an "ethos where you just can't do anything that says bad things about Israel." McGovern praises Joe Kent for saying publicly that "Israel did it" and that "there's no imminent threat," noting that Kent is now "under FBI investigation" for those comments.
