Turkey isn't Europe. Turkey is Asia.

Listen dude. If you had thousands of planes going into your countries borders per year, then you wouldn't like it either.
This is not fighting about a Lilly pad, this is about national sovereignty.
This thread shortened.
EU members: OMG mmember states are not doing enuf to deter Russia. Increase spending, cooperation.
EU: We need to cooperate to increase our Military ability, so that we are not reliant on the US and can deter foreign aggression.
EU members: OMG Fascism, Dictatorship, USSR 2.0! 2nd Holy Empire, 4th reich rebornz!
Um, I'm American. Russia plays it's games with aircraft and Alaska on a weekly basis.
The USAF seriously considered stopping scrambling Raptors last year. Why? It didn't want to spend gas money (I shit you not) on Vladmir Putin's pointless displays of force. Saving money on gas was more important answering Russia's pointless provocation. The result was to send fewer Raptors up. I guess Americans are just more objective about the bullshit behaviors of the Old World.
Turkey isn't ever going to do squat against Greece ever again. Let Erdogan play his games.
Of course another annual finalist in "World's Most Pointless National Rivalry Championship" is Greece and Macedonia over it's goddamn name.
Maybe not all, but the majority is and has always been blindly nationalistic and believes anything their current dictator happens to feed them.
The average Russian wants his country to be feared instead of respected in a good way, deriving sadistic pleasure from bullying and threatening smaller countries. It makes him feel big and strong and makes him forget for a moment what a miserable shithole his country really is.
Understand this and you'll never be surprised by anything Russia does.

Well, they did use a big chunk of the EU financial aid to buy 400 battle tanks...
Maybe I should have said main battle tanks, if that makes it easier to understand.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_battle_tank
A main battle tank (MBT), also known as a battle tank or universal tank, is a tank that fills the armor-protected direct fire and maneuver role of many modern armies.
Basically it's the heaviest type of tank there is.

You have NO UNDERSTANDING of the situation WHAT SO EVER.
These guys aren't scraping Greece's borders. They go in Greece airspace for 10's of Kms sometimes 100's.
They are flying FULLY ARMED F16s over Greek Islands (talking about flying over civilians fully loaded).
They do NOTAMS half the Aegean. I shit you not. They send ships 200km in the Aegean.
Its a completely different situation
"A more credible European defence is essential also for the sake of a healthy transatlantic partnership with the United States."
Skert of Murka, need big army too.

What is macedonia doing with F-16 and Why has Greece not shot them down or had us do it for them?
There is no Bad RNG just Bad LTP
Unless they can keep all the Terrorists from passing through the hot gates with 300 well trained men............................ borders mean squat to them. Hell, we have them here. We know we do. It is just a matter of waiting till they initiate and trying to catch them in time.
