If it is certain that all countries in the region will go to war, fear does not provide protection against death. One way or another, there will come a time when we must choose a side. If we continue to sleep as if everything is fine until that moment comes, it will be worse for us. When that moment comes, Turkey will be asked about the take-off of warplanes from NATO bases in its country to Iran and the fate of the Kürecik radar base.
I'm not saying we should go to war right away. But the Turkish Armed Forces and the country need to be thoroughly prepared as if a war will break out tomorrow. Because the declaration of mobilization does not easily produce balance-changing results, especially for the defense industry. It is necessary to make certain preparations. By the way, I definitely think that NATO bases should not be used against regional countries in this war. Even if we're not going to do anything, we need to do this.
