Erdogan says Turkey is now the 11th largest country in the world in defense industry exports. • Turkey is one of only three countries capable of producing armed drones • Turkey is among the 10 nations that manufacture their own warships.
Turkey and Israel are at peace, they have diplomatic missions in each country and routinely hold talks through intel channels. The punditry in Washington has become a joke
UAE joined the Abraham Accords and still got denied F-35s. But Turkey—run by Islamist regime, buyer of S-400s, hostile to Israel—gets the green light? Do we want Turkish pilots dogfighting Israelis in our F-35s? No jets until Turkey makes peace with Israel and dumps Putin.
Mike Huckabee knows better than 25 nations, all US allies
Disgusting! 25 nations put pressure on @Israel instead of savages of Hamas! Gaza suffers for 1 reason: Hamas rejects EVERY proposal. Blaming Israel is irrational. Israel rejects 25 nation statement calling for end to Gaza war timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry… via @timesofisrael
No evidence whatsoever would convince some in the US and Israel that people are literally hungry and starving to death in Gaza.

Whole thing began Bedouin vs only one Druze faction clashes but now turned into the fake narrative of Sharaa massacring whole Druze because he is ISIS. People no longer have time to investigate what really happens. It is all about optics, perception and simple narratives
