    Not really. Actually, right after I took the Japanese course for a while and dropped it (shame on me), I was naturally more careful listening the Japanese parts when I rewatched it on VHS. Dude, I was amazed to hear it and that particular scene etched to my mind 😇

    Honestly, I haven meant the tech side of it but have meant more as a political move which wouldn‘t put Turkey in a position against US when Europe is turning anti-US and pushing Turkey forward as the “major military power of Europe“!
