Yes, Of course. 85 billion dollars worth of new ICBMs take priority over thousands of Americans dying due to near total lack of healthcare. It's not like America doesn't already have the world's second largest nuclear arsenal and the nuclear triad standing by. No. Northrop urgently needs...
Guess again. Not every military product that the US pukes out on the market meets the needs of all international customers. I could explain the math to you, but I don't want to. If you're still confused, ask the Canadians.
Our exit strategy is to not exit. We should (and probably will) maintain a small air/naval base in Libya to continue to have a say in Libya's future and safeguard our commercial and military interests in the Eastern Mediterranean.
This is bullshyt becase neither Egypt nor UAE have negotiating powers in Libya.
Hafter's boss are the Jews, EU, USA and to a lesser extent Russia. UAE are barely financiers of some of Hafter's expenses and Egypt's Sissi provides much of the cannon fodder against Turkey just as he's ordered by...
I agree but no one's saying Turkey is perfect internally. American justice system processes are equally long. Also, USA, the so-called "land of the free", happens to have 5% of the world population but 22% of the world's prisoners. 80 million Americans have criminal records and I mean FELONY...
If you don't like the choices, than don't vote. And here's a novel idea: IGNORE THE THREAD. Nobody's putting a gun to your head and forcing you to pick an option you don't agree with.
If you think the US is a friend, lol, then vote for that option and if you also want to, respond to the thread...
They don't, even though some of them ACT that way at times for political reasons. Many Kemalists look at America as their patron and savior from the Islamists/Conservatives/Erdoganists. They don't give a fvck about Turkey's national security, interests, or pride.
You'd be surprised at how many Turks still think that the US is Turkey's "best friend" despite all that. Fvcking place is like an insane asylum filled with morons with worse memory than neglected fish in a teenager's aquarium.
You ain't impressing anyone by saying some dumb shit like "Oh, it's complicated", etc. If it's too hard to pick between two clear, concise, binary choices, then maybe you shouldn't bother. No one likes a nitpicking, indecisive flik-flak. So please just put your foot down and vote.
Based on Turkey's experiences with the USA, it's very much crystal clear as to what category a patriotic Turk (and pretty much any Muslim) would vote for. I've never understood why anyone would shy away from labeling America a foe unless there's literally an American holding a gun to their head.
Is USA a friend or enemy of Turkey? You decide.
Here's my opinion. This is just a partial list but you still get the picture:
1960 coup d'etat in Turkey by USA-backed generals where they toppled the government elected by the Turkish public and installed a military regime. Many Turks were...
Problem with the F-35 in this case is 3-fold.
F-35 costs waaaay more to fly and maintain than the F-16. Most sources cite something like $30,000-35,000/hour. Compare this to F-16's average $18,000/hour.
F-35 is fully network-centric and computer driven. It uses US-controlled cyber systems like...
