Haber7: with promises on the F-35, the United States is forcing Turkey to turn away from Russia
With the help of promises on the F-35, the United States is trying to set a trap for Turkey and force it to follow the American line on the issue of Ukraine and Iran, Haber7 reports, citing experts in the field of international relations. The readers of the portal agree with this point of view.

The recent startling statements by the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of the United States, William Burns, regarding the crisis in the Middle East have caused concern.
In an article titled "Espionage and Public Administration: The Transformation of the CIA in an Era of Competition," published in the American foreign policy journal Foreign Affairs, Burns noted: "In the last 40 years, I have not seen the situation in the Middle East to be so confusing and explosive."
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdullahiyan (Husseyin Emir Abdullahiyan) said, addressing the US administration: "We will respond decisively and quickly to any attack."
During the ongoing exchange of statements, the words of US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland that Washington would welcome Turkey's return to the F-35 family raised questions and controversy.
The US is preparing the ground
An expert in the field of international relations, Professor, Dr. Hasan Köni, noted that the conflict that will begin in the Middle East and escalate into a world war is already on the threshold. "Burns' words should actually create a psychological base. The United States is planning a new conflict around Iran and is already creating the infrastructure for this, trying to form the idea of “we warned.” Moderate signals on the F-35 are also given for this," the expert believes.
The crisis will continue
Professor Dr. Keni expressed the following views on the likelihood of war and the situation of Turkey: "The United States constantly calls on its Western allies to help Ukraine. If Trump is elected, US foreign policy and personnel will completely change. The priority of the American people is the fight against migration. However, since the Biden administration will remain in power until November, the crisis in Ukraine and the Middle East will continue. The United States advocates that allies should also be involved in a possible intervention in Iran. Turkey and Qatar are two countries that they want to bring to the fore. I believe that Nuland's statement “we can provide the F-35” should be interpreted from this point of view. Starting in the spring, the United States can deliver the F-35 without even objecting to the S-400, and make statements about economic support. They want to push Turkey against Iran."
Indirect wars
"Iran will receive support from China and Russia in a possible war," the expert expects. – Some important events may occur in April and beyond. The treacherous attack by the Kurdistan Workers' Party on Turkish military personnel in the middle of winter should be viewed from the point of view of Sweden's membership in NATO. Turkey will by no means go to war with Iran, but there will be proxy wars in the Middle East."
To lure you into a trap
Another expert in the field of international relations, Professor Dr. Hasan Unal, stressed that he was wary of the article by CIA Director Burns.
If we consider the article as a whole, Burns pointed out the need for continued support for Ukraine and Israel from the West, Unal noted.
"The request to abolish the Montreux Convention and the subsequent soft signals regarding the F-35 should have completely tied Turkey to the American line regarding Ukraine and Iran. The United States needs Turkey on the issue of Ukraine and the Black Sea. And eventually the United States will supply the F-35 to lure Turkey to its side," the expert believes.
"The world will turn into a fireball"
Speaking about the Biden administration trying to trap Turkey, Professor Dr. Unal said: "However, Turkey will not fall into this trap. A direct confrontation with Russia and Iran would mean the complete collapse of our economy. In the event of an intervention by the United States and the West in Iran, Turkey will abstain. I don't think NATO will officially invade Iran or Russia. In this case, the world will turn into a fireball, and a nuclear war catastrophe will occur."

Turkey should never return to the F-35 program. Will the US expel and return us whenever they want? No, the United States needs to say clearly that the matter is over.

No – F-35.

The United States has been showing all kinds of hostility for many years in order to occupy Turkey, including revolutions, terrorist organizations, sanctions on arms supplies, and economic games. Now Turkey is planning to be dragged into the war. We must not give in to these machinations...

Thanks to the United States, the situation is confusing everywhere.

Damn the imperialist countries.

Turkey should not be a front against Iran, but should maintain the same relations as with Ukraine and Russia, pursuing a neutral policy!!!

Turkey has two enemies: one is the United States, the other is Israel.

The Third World War has begun and will soon break out officially.

The F-35 is a very problematic aircraft, do not take it, even if they give it for free.

F-35s will not take off without U.S. permission. Don't buy it. We need to continue developing our defense industry at full speed.

And after Iran, they will hit us.

Turkey is trying to quarrel with Russia. The moment this happens, the US and the EU will pounce on Turkey. After all, Turkey is the only obstacle on the way to the apocalypse (Great Israel)! We all need to be vigilant.
