>>Turkey to Buy Russian Missiles, US Threatens to End Joint F-35 Program
Not only that, Turkey threatens to buy the Sukhoi Su-57 which is in the same category of the F-22, in case the F-35 is not delivered and operational.

>>220569
Wouldn't that effectively throw Turkey out of Nato, or threaten their membership? As I understand it Nato members are to be using more or less the same weapon platforms. Not that I am against Turkey leaving the Nato.

>>220569
Nice looking plen

Thank you Awoo!

I thought the SU-57 was abandoned since it didn't work.

>SU-57 was abandoned since it didn't work
Nope, a first batch is already being assembled.
And if you mean for "it didn't work" that stealth is a scam, you are right.

>Trump says China 'broke the deal' in trade talks, may face stiff tariffs if no agreement reached
Let us say it loud and clear, the official narrative is misleading, tariffs are actually imposed on the American people who pays more for Chinese products.
Also, the idea that tariffs are a shield to protect American jobs is a lie, because the only way to increase the industrial production is issuing quotas for imports, which will force to produce in America the not allowed foreign merchandise.
The only beneficiary from these tariffs is the US Treasury (the bureaucracy) and nobody else.

Let me rephrase it.
>"... because the only way to increase the American manufactures is forbidding some imported items (it means to produce them in America by force, meaning more jobs, meaning protectionism, meaning to hell with the corporative interests, meaning fuck Wall Street)."

Okay, that sounds a lot clearer to me. Also, this.
