Exactly! NATO is in bad condition (Problem), because of Europeans. Not us. Biggest threat of NATO are the members Germany and France. You will see it in the future.
As you say, what has had an effect on the prosperity of EU citizens is the inflation resulting indirectly from Russia invading Ukraine (energy and food prices soaring).
I am not a Turk, so I can't speak on the behalf of the Turks. I guess, no NATO country is pressured by the terrorist organization supported by other NATO countries. And there are other things. Also I think that many Turks, realise that the terrorist problem is there for a long time, courtesy of the Allies. Just like in Italy, when Red Brigades were contacted to get rid of Aldo Morro. Just as Bader Meinhoff was hiding in Belgrade while the minister of the foreign affairs of Yugoslavia was a German spy. Other things are , I guess embargoes. Support for Armenians. Etc. I think that those are pretty good reasons.
TAI/TUSAS..KAI is Korean....
Greece blocked Macedonia's membership for over a decade for a silly reason.

Fake news.No F-35, F-16, or Typhoon, so Turkey is looking at the JF-17
Turkey, a major NATO nation, has been striving to upgrade its arsenal of fighter jets in recent years. The American F-16 has been at the top of the list.
Can anyone confirm this news item
Funny and shitty trade. F35 should be our condition. Good relations with India, which bought the S400.
What is achieved by making demands that you know will not be met? F-35 is gone, 100% finito. That is not yet the case with F-16. It is a better idea to try to get what it may be possible to get than to waste time trying to get what it is not possible to get - and in the process prejudicing further any small remaining chance there is of getting F-16.
Once again, we are at fault and not the country that is not only keeping the jets that were already made for us in a hangar but also refusing to return our money to us. Honestly, this forum can hide the usernames and I would know which post is yours right away.
Our NATO membership may have started as a means to try to protect us from USSR but now it is hopefully there to protect us from what these pack of western hyenas are doing to almost every other free Muslim country. We rather have our money back we paid long ago for unkept F-35 delivery promise but we don't expect even that much of a decency from bunch of animals currently making another crusader dog pack against Yemen this time, while giving Israel handful of nukes worth bombs so that Jews can finish of their 7 decades long Palestinian genocide campaign.
It's not gone or finished. They can give it if they want, everything is in their hands.
