Should 🇹🇷 be able to acquire the F-35 from the United States? A definite 'no' from your friendly team @FDD

Erdogan is already doing enough to consolidate his autocratic vision for 🇹🇷 Turkey's Kurdish movement shouldn't lend him a helping hand to achieve this malign goal My latest for @NationalSecJour & @FDD nationalsecurityjournal.org/turkeys-kurds-…

Syrian Jihadis –– a.k.a Syrian defense officials out shopping for high end military equipment at a 🇹🇷 mil expo

Erdogan and Shara’s “Sunnification” Project The recent sectarian violence shows that the Syrian government and its Turkish backers share a dangerous vision of a Sunni-dominant state. @SinanCiddi in @TheNatlInterest: nationalinterest.org/blog/middle-ea…

Good to be back on the @GreekCurrent today. My colleagues @ThanosDavelis, @FDD’s @SinanCiddi, and I discuss the danger of selling the Eurofighter to Turkey and the challenge it will pose to Israel and Greece. Check out the whole episode here 👇 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

My latest for @TheNatlInterest argues that "Since the fall of Assad’s regime in 2024, 🇹🇷 has pursued a singular objective: the “Sunnification” of Syria. Erdogan has shown little interest in fostering a stable, inclusive 🇸🇾" nationalinterest.org/blog/middle-ea…

Erdogan apparatchik Ibrahim Karagul of Yeni Safak newspaper demands: “🇹🇷 should strike Israel!” Karagul is known to be in Erdogan’s disinformation operations inner circle and has a wide follower base yenisafak.com/yazarlar/ibrah…

Dear Turkey, It’s Not Us; It’s You. dcjournal.com/dear-turkey-it… by @SinanCiddi "It may not be practical to break up and move out right now, but it’s time to give the cold shoulder to an autocrat who desperately needs to be put in the friend — rather than the ally — zone."

Analysis from @SinanCiddi: "Europe and the United States should not be rewarding a state sponsor of terrorism by authorizing the sale and transfer of high-end military equipment that can cause significant harm to Western security interests." fdd.org/analysis/2025/…

"🇪🇺 and 🇺🇸 should not be rewarding a state sponsor of terrorism by authorizing the sale and transfer of high-end military equipment that can cause significant harm to Western security interests" Latest from @FDD w/@Brad_L_Bowman & @Ty_D_Stapleton fdd.org/analysis/2025/…

🇹🇷 transfers military hardware to the Jolani regime. This is only the beginning

Spokesperson for the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), Heval @farhad_shami : It is impossible to surrender our weapons under the current circumstances. We can join the Syrian army through a constitution that acknowledges Kurdish identity. We are not in favor of war, but we will…

Nothing prevents 🇹🇷 purchasing 40 new F-16 from 🇺🇸 w/was authorized in 2/24. Also-Ankara could at any time put in a purchase for Patriot air defense system In 2019, despite repeated warnings by allies, had it not purchased & acquired the S400 system from 🇷🇺 it would have F35's

Washington's ultimatum for the SDF to join the so-called "Syrian Army" is unlikely to compel Mazloum Abdi to make a bad decision –– just bc Erdogan's envoy to Syria, Tom Barrack would like him to I explained why to @i24NEWS_EN

Escalation loading….

🇹🇷’yi Lübnan’a benzetme çabalarını MHP’nin öncülük edeceğini kim tahmin edebilirdi?
