Turkey buys a lot of arms

Trump’s Capitulation to Erdogan Is Complete
The ‘cease-fire’ between the U.S. and Turkey probably won’t hold and definitely won’t make Syria more stable.
This is about recovering Euro wide arms sales, especially the F35 production losses.  Our military is hurting, nothing works right and costs going forward to deal with drones appeared, like yesterday.  We are suck selling yesterday's weapons none of which now work as advertised against the drones. And a bunch of which, like new carriers and F35, never really worked.

Trump will be running with the economic doldrums and a government slowly crowding out more and more private sector. He is trying to recreate the 1950s, the era of American hegemony. He caught himself in a trap.

Russia has the same problem, as does Turkey.  Soon the battle space over the region will be filled with hunter drones, warding off expensive and piloted jet aircraft.
