it's okay dude. well, firstly the umbrella. It's the third time that NATO deployed PAC-3 Patriot batteries in our borders. Jordan will pay to US for Patriot batteries, while we won't pay anything for them as they are "defensive operations to protect southeastern soils of the alliance".
Many Turkish products has started with JV. At most of them. NATO partners were chosen...that they gave serious ToT. Ex: Today we produce F-16 jets in our home. Besides Israel and US, Turkish F-16s have their own softwares named ÖZGÜR. It gave us the access to high technology with considerable price. Our training doctrines are coming from overall 28 members combat experiences, the same for others. Our products has to get STANAG certificates before being adopted to any nation.
Article 5, was what made USSR to think twice before trying to annex into Turkey. Today Iran, Iraq, Syria know well what would happen. Despite not being a nuclear power. There are 90 recently upgraded B-61 nuclear warheads at Incirlik AFB, which 45 of them are given under Turkish Air Force's command and use, requiring NATO approval. After 60 years of membership, today the entire NATO's Land Forces HQ is located in Turkey, the LANDCOM. ...etc.
Really? Where was the "lord US", when Turkey vetoed Israel's participation to all of the NATO exercises for over 2 years. Where was the "lord US" when Turkish Armed Forces intervened Cyprus. Where was US, when Turkish Navy evacuated his a couple of thousands citizens living in Libya. Where was US when we helped in assembling F-16 parts to Pakisan during embargo years. Where was US when Turkey didn't allow US troops to enter Iraq through Turkish soils. Where was US when UK Parliament refused to act in Syria. See? Turkey and UK being a NATO, are not sheep after all. And we all know well what the consequences of attacking to a NATO Member State will be, no matter even if it's Turkey, a muslim nation. That would be the time that they'll all "jump". But I know well who is the puppet, sheep of "lord US". But I won't tell that due to my respect to my brothers&sisters here.
