In the midterms Bob Menendez' son got elected into Congress, alongside 5 other Greek-American senators. Turkish elections don't even matter, I don't think we will get any F16s for the next 5 years haha.
The results of the US mid-term elections will allow the Greek-American diaspora to have, once again, a strong presence in Congress as well as in state and local levels, state-run news agency AMNA reports.

Turkish Air Force will suffer, a lot, probably until 2035.
Weapon sales have always been about manipulating and controlling Turkeys actions. Since Turkey is pursuing her rightful claim in her surrounding neighbourhood weapons will be restricted to create pressure. If we did nothing and allowed all the plots to develop around us uncontested we would still receive F35.
When a moment comes that it looks like the Turks are going to get their own fighter off the ground expect good offers to put forward towards Turkey about fighter jets.
A good example is cyprus 1974, before that war americans were selling us weapons the actual moment we used those weapons to fight a war in our interests embargoes came our way.
We got to wise up and learn to play this game.
Americans don't sell Turks weapons because they want us to be able to defend ourselves, they sell us weapons to keep us in their sphere of influence and then use said weapon sales to manipulate what we can and cannot do.
But at the same time the Americans are clever they are going to make us believe that its greek/armenian lobbying power behind it all to further inflame tensions in the region. When in reality its just american state policy towards Turkey.
