      This seems like a bad idea to me, but I suppose there are a lot of different ways to slice that apple. I just can’t imagine what would be worth exposing that technology in that way, but theoretically I imagine it exists…

      That would be for the best. No matter our differences, our place should be with the West, not with that freak show called BRICS. Eurasianists here get horny even with the thought of Russia. It’s no surprise they cheered S-400 acquisition when it happened. They even made up stories in order to downplay F-35 and its abilities; like you can only run it with a code from the U.S. every time, or it’s still riddled with chronic problems etc etc…

      LMAO what a joke. Turkey should just say fuck you and stick to their own 5th gen program, it seems like it has potential. Their Aviation industry as a whole did quite well recently, it would be unwise to just throw this away to please the US. I have the feeling like if they say yes, they will in some way somehow just get scammed by the US.

      US can also sell the F-35 technology to russia, china and iran directly.

      Stupidity has no limits.

      If turkey wants to trade the s-400 for F35 what stops them to trade the F-35 for something else.

      What stops turkey and whatever else to reverse engineer the plane?

      Sounds like a decent compromise maybe?

      The US clearly overplayed their hand with Turkey, considering Russias nuclear power ambitions within Turkey, but this would allow both sides to mostly save face, and move forward.

      I mean eh at this point. I rather develop our 5th generation to be less dependent on US arm sales considering Trump may come.
