His second government ordered about 120 F-35s since he came back to power. Trump also doesn't like the color blue, but drinks water.
He is making the move to dethrone the F35. Let's see who dethrones it first.

Oh boy. Even when you feel like it can't be worse, they manage to go with the worst possible option. 50 lira says we manage to get CAATSA'd a second time by Americans for it lol

"Bloomberg reporting that during last week’s phone call between Turkish President Erdogan and Russian President Putin, Erdogan brought up the issue of returning the S400 air defense system to Russia. "


It's not even directly related to F-35s. We're stuck unless CAATSA is removed. Every program, every export deal, every purchase we want to make is affected by CAATSA. SSB is toxic with it.

Why would the russians accept this lmao. They were popping the corks when our "competent" officials signed the deal to procure this worthless system in the first place.

After the Israelis the Russians were the happiest people that we didn't get our F-35s as well as had many of our projects hindered for years thanks to CAATSA.

Also remember when some people were very vehement that the S-400 would never be gotten rid of and that it would always be part of our Air Defense Network. "We WILl InteGRAte It" "IsMAIl DeMIR SaID So WHy WouLD HE LIE"

Average joe here and in general saw what was gonna happen 7 years ago. What were the supporters of this dumbass procurement screaming around? "dO yoU KnOw BettER tHaN ThE GoveRNMent".

Yes I and many others actually do know better than this very smart bigly smart government led by Erdogan.

The easiest solution is to use it as target practice for Akbaba. But they won't do that because the person up top who pushed for this purely political purchase doesn't want to look like a fool, now they are trying to give it back and than will have their puppets in the media talk about how "russia begged us for the S-400 back due to the war"

What haunts me the old Turkic Empires both Pre Islamic and Post Islamic seem to all have one thing in common which is self sabotaging themselves.

It feels we dont learn from our past instead we repeat same old mistakes.

S400 purchase was not only political but also political self sabotage. Our enemies are laughing at us.

It is common to almost all empires and kingdoms.

Responding to the question, “Will you approve the sale of F-35s to Turkey?”, Trump used the following statements:
“We are considering this very seriously. I promise they will never use them against Israel.”

Trump will only approve the sale of F-35 fighter jets to Türkiye if Erdoğan promises that they will only be used to bomb ...Gaza🙃
