I am absolutely disgusted by the so called "Christian" nations of the west for having allowed a filthy scum-bag of a nation like Turkey invading and illegally occupying Cypriot soil. Turkey in the first place does not belong in NATO, and should be kicked out.

Turkey has absolutely no right whatsoever being in Cyprus. It is bad enough that Turkey is illegally occupying Greek and Armenian lands in Asia Minor, and now has stepped foot in Cyprus and refusing to leave. A big failure on the west's part for allowing this and having a supposed "ally". Turkey needs the world a lot more than the other way around.

Though not anytime soon, I hope the day comes when the Armenians and Greeks hold hands and unite and send these filthy vermin back to Mongolia where they came from.

US gives money to Turkey then gets it back when Turkey buys loads of military equipment.

Little example for YOU:

On 12 July 2002, Turkey became the seventh international partner in the JSF Project, joining the United Kingdom, Italy, the Netherlands, Canada, Denmark and Norway. On 25 January 2007, Turkey signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for involvement in F-35 production.[66] The Turkish Air Force is planning to initially order 116[67][68] F-35A "CTOL/Air Force versions" at a reported cost of $11 billion.[69] It is reported that the aircraft will be produced under license in Turkey by the Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI).

A Letter of Intent (LOI) was signed between TAI and Northrop Grumman ISS (NGISS) International on 6 February 2007. With the LOI, TAI becomes the second source for the F-35 Lightning II center fuselage during the JSF Signing. The number of center fuselages to be produced by Turkish Aerospace Industries will be determined depending on the number of F-35s Turkey will procure and the number of F-35s to be produced worldwide. The LOI represents a potential value in excess of $3 billion.[70] Northrop Grumman currently produces all F-35 center fuselages at its F-35 assembly facility in Palmdale, California.

TAI of Turkey is one of the two international suppliers to Northrop Grumman (the other being Denmark). On 10 December 2007, the Turkish Aerospace Industries, Inc.(TAI) was authorized by the Northrop Grumman to commence fabricating subassemblies for the first two F-35 production aircraft. The subassemblies – composite components and aircraft access doors – will be used in the F-35 center fuselage, a major section of the aircraft being produced by Northrop Grumman, a principal member of the Lockheed Martin-led F-35 global industry team.[71]

It is also anticipated that TAI after 2013 will also produce 100% of the F-35 under license from Lockheed Martin Corporation, as was also the case with the F-16 Fighting Falcon program Peace Onyx I and II. Turkey also intends to incorporate in the distant future several Turkish designed and manufactured electronic systems into the F-35 platform.

Won't be giving anything anymore mate and i doubt you'll find any other nation stupid enough to keep bailing out the turkish nation.
As if the world or EU will allow turkey to design any type of killing machine,maybe the only one they allow will be the one that self destructs as it's designed.

Ironically, it does not say anything about giving money to Turkey.

What is said is cooperation with the Turkish Aerospace Industries in exchange with exclusive production of certain body parts of F-35 in exchange with a given number of aricrafts built.

It is the time to think about how to bail out your own firms and institutions rather than the ones existing in Turkey.

My point to Lysi was that the US always gives bucks to Turkey and Turkey ends up giving it back by purchasing Arms, the production of thr F-35 is another starting point of this process.
