Blinken, the US Secretary of State, who came to our country, said that their support for the supply of F-16s to Turkey continues. He told so, for some reason, the US doesn't deliver the planes that Turkey paid for. Apart from not selling, it is not paying back the 1.4 billion dollars that Turkey paid.
 
In short, they got their money, but they don't deliver the planes. More precisely, they are waiting for Turkey to announce that it accepts some of the conditions they put forward for their surrender. On the other hand, Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu says that it will not be possible to buy an F-16 based on conditions.
 
However, shouldn't the reason why the US Secretary of State Blinken came to our country while our country was struggling against a major disaster was not to impose conditions on Turkey? Let's say they make some demands as an ally, shouldn't they wait for the relief of the earthquake disaster that our country is experiencing?
 
It is possible to list the questions, but it seems that those who established a state by taking over the lands of the natives with the logic of cowboys, have not lost anything from their centuries-old habits. It seems that they still see themselves as the only rule maker on earth. There may be some reasons why they see it this way, but no commercial transaction can and should not be made on conditional terms.
 
Moreover, the events in which the USA sees itself as the sole rule maker are not limited to the sale of F-16s. Despite the promises made regarding Syria, the USA did not comply with any of them, and they think that Turkey is not aware of this, as they do not, they also oppose Turkey's expansion of the area cleared of terrorist organizations in Syria.
 
Moreover, it supports terrorist organizations against Turkey. In short, I think it would be incomplete to describe this attitude of the USA as simply breaking the rules, and it would not be wrong to call it banditry.
 
On the one hand, bring some organizations to Syria for years and say that you are fighting with these terrorist organizations, there is no logic in this. Beyond that, it means putting the other person in a naive place, which goes without saying that with such attitudes, the USA cannot be an ally, let alone a friend.
 
The first condition for peace in our region is that the USA, which has been trying to protect the terrorist organization when Turkey takes action against the PKK terrorist organization, which has been at the head of Turkey for almost 40 years, and to which they have provided all kinds of training and weapon support, cannot be a friend and ally. We need to throw this bandit and keep our country away from our region. In short, the only first condition for establishing peace in our region is the breaking of the hand of the USA in our region.
 
In fact, let us state clearly that; Let alone being a friend and ally, the USA acts with an understanding that we cannot be together on any issue. Beyond that, being together in NATO with this country, which sees in itself the right to impose where and under what conditions we can use the planes in question, should it be abandoned if it does not give it to us, and beyond that, if it does. Because Turkey has never been supported by NATO in any respect, and has always been a self-sacrificing party. Long story short, the time has come to part ways with the USA.
