PKK wasn't created by the US. Why do you keep harping on about this line?

I remember that fee years ago in Hurriyet , the gentleman who was minister of interior before Erdogan, I forgot the name said" All left wing movements in Turkey were created by USA and EU , apart from the official Communist Party of Turkey, which was financed by USSR and who were basically harmless people "

 

[mehmed beg]

The prime reason for why I think that Turkey being expelled from the F35 program is a blessing in disguise
Whoever depends on the F35 jets will eventually find that the US isnt only sucking money from said country through repairs and operational costs but will also realise that the US literally owns the said country by the balls thus crippling its sovereignity


Translation:
Inf news: 'When you buy an F-35, you do not own the plane. The plane becomes your owner!
The USA sends a password to the countries purchasing F-35s before each use via the LINK-16 data sharing system in order to operate the aircraft and put it into combat mode (war mode) if necessary.
The British pilot cannot log in to the plane and cannot start it.
It is claimed that the South Korean pilots who bought 40 F-35s are "tired" of this situation.

I think, last year in interview with SavunmaSanayist , director of Havelsan disclosed that when he asked for a basic access to software of f35, he was plainly told " We are not selling the planes but sorties" .
In other words we are selling you absolutely nothing, you are just giving us the recket..
No sovereign country can accept such a deal.

Ocalan also renounced communism overtime so just he can get more support.

Westerners only supported Turkiye was to hit Russian interests. At the same time West also worked with Russia to hit Turkish interests numerous times.

Cant trust both side hence why im pretty happy how Turkiye is balancing both sides but also doing their best to pit both camps against each other while trying to get something out it.

Samething needs to be done in the Middle East with Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iran and Israel.

Westerns were happy when Red Brigades killed Aldo Moro , bit later when Red Brigades kidnapped an American brigadier, they were annihilated on no time
Also Bader Meinhoff was hiding in Belgrade, at that time foreign secretary of Yugoslavia worked for the German intelligence.

Turkey has been blocking NATO-Israel cooperation since October.

Turkey argues that NATO should not cooperate with Israel until the war in Gaza is over.

Turkey has vetoed all NATO-Israel interactions since October, including meetings and joint exercises.

Turkey maintains that Israel’s massacres of Palestinians in Gaza are against NATO’s founding principles.

Turkey will continue to block NATO-Israel cooperation until the war is over, preventing Israel from continuing or developing its interactions with NATO.

I am not sure whether there are any effect of this considering US support to the Israel. So it's more like symbolic.

No effect at all. Countries within NATO are continuing cooperation with Israel on a bilateral level. If such a veto creates a big impact on Israel's national security I am sure that the countries interested in cooperation with Israel will establish a new body in order to bypass Turkiye's NATO veto. We are talking about Israel here, the spoiled child.

The second part of his statement is in a direct relation to what Turkiye managed to achieve during its passive period.

What can be done is very limited. We should have never accepted the NATO-Israel deal in the past (Erdogan voted in favor of it).

You should always act within the bounds of possibility in the world you live in, not some imagined world. Haste, reaction, ideological ossification are on the top of the list of things you don't want in your political leader.

Fidan is in Egypt today. His plane landed in Arish in the Sinai and will presumably visit Rafah first.

The Judicial authority’s decree, upon the request of Iraq’s National Security Advisor Qassem al-Araji, ordered the dissolution of the Yazidi Democratic Freedom party, the Democratic al-Nidhal Front party, and the Kurdistan Free Society party."
