[Max]

Turkey should go for TFX. invest more money and manpower.

 

[AUz]

Looooool that’s humiliating for Turkey. USA is treating NATO member like shit

 

[cloud4000]

People think it's just about S-400 purchase, but the blocking of F-35 sales to Turkey is about more than that. It's the slow deterioration of Turkey-US and NATO-Turkey relations since Erdogan has been in power.

How many wars did Greece & Russia fight?

How many wars did Turkey & Russia fight?

It is very obvious that Turkey has some sinister plans against NATO. It is time for Turkey to prove it's loyalty towards NATO.

NDAA 2019

SEC. 1269. REMOVAL OF TURKEY FROM THE F–35 PROGRAM.

(a) Findings.—Congress makes the following findings:

(1) The Government of the Republic of Turkey continues to unlawfully and wrongfully detain Andrew Brunson, a United States citizen, and continues to deny Mr. Brunson due process rights consistent with international norms.

(2) The Government of the Republic of Turkey has wrongly charged Andrew Brunson with belonging to a terrorist organization and engaging in terrorist activities.

(3) The Government of the Republic of Turkey, including the senior leadership of the government, bears direct responsibility for the health and safety of Andrew Brunson while he remains in the custody of the Government of the Republic of Turkey.

(4) Congress will not tolerate any foreign government’s efforts to use United States citizens for political leverage.

(5) President Erdogan, along with other senior officials of the Government of the Republic of Turkey, have publicly and repeatedly stated the intention of the Government of the Republic of Turkey to purchase the S–400 system from Russia, an act that is sanctionable under current United States law.

(6) Any effort by the Government of the Republic of Turkey to further enhance their relationship with Russia will degrade the general security of the NATO alliance, and NATO member countries, and degrade interoperability of the alliance.​

(1) steps required to unwind industrial participation of Turkish industry in the manufacturing and assembly of the F–35 program;

(2) costs associated with replacing tooling and other manufacturing materials held by Turkish industry;

(3) timelines associated with the removal of the Government of the Republic of Turkey and Turkish industry from participation in the F–35 program, so as to cause the least impact on the remaining international program partners; and

(4) steps required to prohibit the transfer of any F–35 aircraft currently owned and operated, by the Government of the Republic of Turkey, from the territory of the United States.​

(c) Limitation On The Transfer Of The F–35 To Turkey.—The Department of Defense may not transfer the title for any F–35 aircraft to the Government of the Republic of Turkey, until such time as the report identified in subsection (b) has been submitted.
