US senators seem like hot-headed r*tards, at least one thing we have in common.
thx senators
To be fair to Turkey, we should either give them some jets or give them their money back. I don’t mind waiting until after NATO expansion, but it’s not right we just take their money and give them nothing. Let’s not be those kind of people.
Turkey has to realize that they are not Europe. Them going against Sweden and trying to get Europe to turn on Sweden with them just won’t go their way. Just be happy they are included in ‘the west’, and that’s for the sole reason of controlling the Dardanelles and Bosporus straits.
1.4 billion are in hands of american from turkey and some people debate here that turkey should shut up…. Are you serious???? Either give them the jets or money back since 1 f year
When i see post like this and read the comments it reminds me life of Brian.
Fair Enough. Need to get every country who needs to be in NATO in the group because once jets are put into action in Ukraine it will all be on!
Good. NATO shouldn’t be letting a single country be so plainly obtuse for domestic appeal, regional posturing, and just for its own sake without consequence, ESPECIALLY when that country tries to float a fucking blasphemy law as a condition of entry, and ESPECIALLY ESPECIALLY when that country is already being antagonistic towards another member of its own goddamn alliance.
Letting Erdogan get away with his bullshit undermines the whole point of having an alliance.
edit: and to head off any accusations of hypocrisy; yes, the US should have gotten much more push back for all of Trump’s nonsense too.
Too bad Sweden does not want F16 just to annoy Turkey, the level of Tate tots diplomacy and Trump art of the deal methods by Erdogan and thugs reduces international relationships to a fish market.
Meanwhile, “Turkey blocks NATO expansion until F16 sale succeeds”
This treatment of NATO’s second largest army is abhorrent and humiliating.
“**The wolf survives the winter but does not forget the frost**” – Turkish proverb.
The Russians know the power of this statement today. I assure you that we will avenge this humiliation on you.
ITT: People not realizing that Turkey’s in NATO because NATO needs Turkey, not the other way around.

With such an unstable ‘partner’ it seems wise.
