Yavuz Sultan Selim after conquering Egypt.

Went on a hunt for crocodiles. Interesting that the Ottomans encountered Nile Crocodiles in Egypt and in Sudan.

At Aero India today.

I don't really know how to feel at this exact moment. One thing's for sure: my disdain for the USA has gotten even worse, i hope for the day that we buy nothing from the Americans anymore.

I see no sabotage, more of realization that we should go full domestic route.
Buying a bad air defence system isn't the domestic route also you can't make everything by yourself the chips etc you get are still from foreign countries, this goes for USA as well not just us.

Shitty S400 was just the tip of the ice berg of wider Turkish-US tensions. Even if Turkiye bought it or not the Americans would have no doubt demanded other Bs to take away the F35s.

Still the S400 was just a middle finger to the USA. I dont think there was any thinking when it came towards it while the USA taking the F35s was their way of flipping the middle finger to Turkiye.

Turkiye going with a more proactive and more assertive foreign policy that mainly fits its interests is what the USA does not like.
