Pentagon Moves Closer To Cutting Turkey's Role In The F-35 Program If It Buys S-400 SAMs

Nothing is going to happen,these are just empty threats.

Why you think it's empty threats. US can stop the delivery for some excuses and makeup the loss by selling to weak Arab rulers as they already bow down to Israeli occupation realising they can't recover Palestine front Israeli hand and seeing Iran as bigger threats .

The US cant risk losing such a strategic ally,you know we have leader who is looking for reasons to leave NATO.
We can also stop the production and delivery of F-35 parts.
We can kick the US out of our bases,so many more options.

Those are extreme examples though. I doubt Turkey will leave NATO, also all the things like the x band radar installed in Turkey is to protect NATO countries and such. It doesn't have any direct relation to Turkeys bilateral relation with US.

The F35 is a direct trade with US, and if US isn't willing to sell it to us, we can buy Typhoon from EU.

What I'm trying to say is that F35 doesn't have any relation to being a NATO member. mixing those two things aren't a good solution. Remember Stoltenberg also said S400 was a sovereign decision to protect the country and doesn't have anything to do with NATO. Which also means in return we won't mix those either.

Even if we don't get F35 I think our defense industry should continue supply the parts. It's direct export and we'll be able to continue servicing any F35 with spare parts. the more we can make the better it is.

True, we can stop US from using our bases and land routes since the operation in ME isn't NATO mission.
