EU diplomats told him that getting in is again a thing, if he manages to get Turkey to fulfill all the requirements. He had a meeting earlier today.

Aren’t most of our F-16 airframes close to the end of their operational lifespan? Can we still even build new ones?

Edit: oh, I guess the U.S. reopened the production line to meet a surge in international demand. Before the 2022 invasion even. All the way back in May ‘21. Huh.

Turkey would definitely rather be in the F-35 program so lol at the apparent "get" here amounting to being allowed to send the US $20B for older airframes.

For all I know there's some other nonpublic agreement that is relevant to Turkey's interests but :shrug:

Olaf Scholz already said that "Turkey being readmitted to the EU membership process isn't related to Sweden getting the Turkish nod" but I still maintain that it is too happy coincidence.

Of course that doesn't mean that Turkey isn't also getting something else out of this sudden act of being non-rear end in a top hat.

My uneducated rear end guesses it's something like "<America> You know, we've gotten off track here. We don't object per se to selling you F-35's, but we'd like to rebuild our relationship first. We'd like to sell you the latest modernized block of F-16's." "<Turkey, looking at the smoking crater Russia is increasingly falling into> You're right, lets start looking at getting back on-track, how about we overlook some of Sweden's ... well.. Anyways how about we let them into NATO, and maybe you put in a good word for us over with the EU, and we'll look at F-35's soon."

Well, that yes and acknowledging the Armenian genocide and committing to at some point in the future making Kurdistan its own country. The stupid part with this is that all thing blocking EU membership from Turkey has always been the things they are doing or caused themselves.

I think it would be loving hilarious if kadyrov b soldiers got encircled in bachman actually got annihilated. Not because of the violence of being annihilated but because of the fact that they've basically been in traffic jams the entire War. I think they're the canary in the coal mine if the Russian military is about to actually collapse because the only time they're going to be fighting is when they're literally the sixth army

You'd think Turkey by now would have told Russia that invading another country because you feel like the people there are yours, despite just being diaspora, is a bad idea

Ciprus is superspecial.

A lot of russians live there.
Creating a company there is supercheap.

Many russian companies are there, so if you work with a company in Moscu, you may actually pay to somebody in ciprus.

If you used to, since that stoped with the war.

I feel like kadyrovs soldiers probably got into a firefight and thought their three magazines a piece was enough.

They kept pulling open magazine drums and finding like Clif bars or some poo poo and had to retreat
