Sweden and Finland submitted their "accessions" at the same time. A year later, Finland has long joined NATO, and Sweden's path to "accession" is much more difficult than Turkey's.
But as the saying goes, Sweden has already made a compromise, the United States has made the same decision, and in the end Turkey has agreed. But in this way, Turkey not only lost a "thorn" position, but also completely provoked Russia.
There is no doubt that Turkey has gained a lot of benefits from it, especially the ** issued by the United States, which has made Turkey's long-coveted F16 fighter jet, become their biggest benefit. However, it is not easy to get a little cheap on the United States, and Turkey has already told us from its own experience.
Rumor has it that the United States has asked Turkey for a sum of money, so how much? The cost of repairing 6 F-35 fighters was only possible for Turkey due to the purchase of Russian S-400 missiles by the United States, as well as opposition to the supply of 6 F-35 fighters by Turkey. The U.S. side said that the six F-35 fighter jets had been stored in U.S. warehouses for six years, during which time they had to be repaired regularly, and now they have Turkey to bear the cost of repairs and reserves.
The United States is playing a scoundrel, regardless of whether the United States can interfere with the sales of other countries, the United States got money from Turkey, but refused for various reasons, and now dares to ask Turkey for maintenance costs. Obviously, it is impossible for Turkey to reap the benefits of the United States, after all, the United States has many means, and a word can make them undo their achievements.
Of course, the Turkish side was not happy, and they put forward a condition, that is, to return all the 1.4 billion dollars that had been paid to them, and make corresponding compensation. Now that the negotiations between the United States and Turkey are still ongoing, it may take some time to reach an agreement.
Historically, the United States' counterattack on Turkey this time is Turkey's "accession", and the United States has suffered a dumb loss, so it will swallow its anger and immediately clean up Turkey once Turkey has completed the formalities.
However, it is unlikely that the United States has an absolute advantage in this war.
It has to be said that although 1.4 billion US dollars is very expensive, the United States itself bears the cost of six F-35 fighter jets, and these planes are unusable, and they have to be repaired once a month, so the money that can be saved is even less.
The most important thing is that the United States has not provided fighter jets, which has caused the United States to receive a lot of criticism, and now it has finally been forgotten, and some unreasonable demands have been made.
This means that the US policy in the military field has become more complicated, and those who want to import ** from the United States must take great risks. If you are not afraid that you will not be able to spend money on fighter planes, and you are not afraid of spending more maintenance costs, you can buy arms directly from the United States. (Palin).
