  1. In this case, I think we should let Turkey keep the s-400s. No sense in letting them have the f35. They are too unreliable of a partner.

  2. Yeah how about no. 

    That’s a terrible trade. 

    Ofc as before the only ones I see claiming this are Turkish sources. So there’s still a good chance this is Turkish copium.

  3. As soon as it gets there Erdogan will be on the phone to Putin asking him what’s in it for him to give him an F-35 to analyse. No deal

  4. Turkey at the moment doesn’t deserve to be allowed back into the F-35 program or any other western weapons program from before the early 2000’s. Turkey has made it position as an unreliable and untrustworthy ally more than clear. They were told what would happen if they went with the S-400 systems and they did it anyway. Letting them back into the F-35 program after we have all seen that the S-400 is just yet another Russian crock of shit will send them the wrong message.

  5. TraditionalStatus188 on

    Just offer Ukrainians f35 programme and they will fetch you s400, s500 and s600 if they have to 😊

  6. We don’t want Turkey running the S-400’s radar on F-35’s.

    That intel could get back to Russia or another hostile nation that relies on the S-400 for air defense, like Iran.

  7. I wish we could kick turkey out of NATO. Horrible “partner”. They flipped us the bird after 9/11 and have been entirely unhelpful in world affairs since. They’re the enemy on the inside.

  8. Take the S-400s, then pull the rug out from under them. Then preferably boot them from NATO and the EU. Way too shifty in their dealings with Russia for my liking, these guys.
