It's less about us lending you fighter jets, and more about you simply being an ally of America. We're the badass high school buddy who stands there, to make sure the other kids at the grade school playground don't bully you. They may tease you a bit, but with us here they wont make any huge moves.
The minute we pull our official support, it'll be like flies on shit.
Oh, that's great man, that's really great. You read nothing from what I said and repeat your own words. As far as I know, our lovely neighbors aka Egypt, Syria and Jordan didn't "tease" us on 1948. They f**king sent all of their forces in to kick our asses and take our land. And with major casualties, we drove them back. In '67 they prepared to do it again, but we hit them first and kicked their asses, again, without anyone's help. In the Yom Kippur War of 1973, they were very close to destroying us. But still we managed to get out of it.
Please check these numbers and judge for yourself: (from Wikipedia)
. At the onset of the battle, the Israeli brigades of some 3,000 troops, 180 tanks and 60 artillery pieces faced off against three infantry divisions with large armour components comprising 28,000 Syrian troops, 800 tanks and 600 artillery pieces.
HD, Turkey isn't quite in the Middle East. It's more of a European country. Nevertheless, even though it's the most modern Arab country, I started doubting it after
Mavi Marmara and the great number of anti-Israeli propaganda spread on the media there in recent years.
Dark Nemesis, I hope Greece would prosper, I've been there once and it's a wonderful country to visit.
Also, don't believe in any of that New Order bullshit.
