Sounds like it’s time to remind Turkey who has nuclear weapons and has actually used them in the past. Honestly I have yet to figure out why we keep putting up with their crap - especially since Erdogan came to power and took Turkey from being a secular Middle Eastern power to an Islamic-theocracy in the making. Honestly, they are now where Iran was in 1977 or 1978 - just one step away. The USA should have restricted or cut all weapons sales (and associated spare parts) to Turkey once Erdogan took office.

Agreed - and I’d go further. Stop sending them the material to manufacture F-16’s and cancel the roughly $5 billion in existing FMS (foreign military sales) contracts.
