There is a financial component to this.
I like money.
And I like the idea of the F-35 per unit cost being reduced because there's more in the pipeline.
The more aircraft we make.
The less that aircraft is going to cost and having F-35s on NATO's southeastern flank, I think, is a greater advantage than allowing Turkey to develop their con stealth fighter, which isn't going to be even remotely as good.
And the whole idea is you want to give your adversary dilemmas, not problems, right?
A problem has one solution.
A dilemma has multiple solutions, each of which are equally bad.
And having Turkey, giving Turkey, not giving, selling.
We are selling these fighters.
And there is a non-zero cost to that.
and it only benefits us.
Selling these fighters to Turkey gives them capabilities to put them on par with the rest of NATO.
It makes them another front, and if a war with Russia were to ever break out, now you have 100 stealth fighters based in Turkey that can be used against targets in Russia.
That's not something to take lightly.
So I think that people in Congress will...
eventually to come around to it.
Just Turkey has to eliminate their S-400 missile systems.
There's a couple of ways they can do that.
