The F-35 is no longer a Turkish question.

Ankara answered it with the S-400, then confirmed it by conduct: Hamas sheltered, Moscow indulged, Cyprus occupied, Greece pressured, Syria coerced, Kurds struck, NATO weaponized.

@USAMBTurkiye calls this pragmatism.

It is strategic laundering.

Washington has whitewashed the same failure before: engagement, access, management, de-escalation. Hostility was treated as procedure, not a pattern to stop.

That era is over.

The live file is the F-16. Not because it is superior. Because it is operational. Turkish F-16s already enforce Ankara’s perimeter doctrine: Aegean overflights, Cypriot intimidation, Syrian and Iraqi incursions, Kurdish targeting, airsignaling from occupied territory, and powerprojection from Gaza politics to Black Sea logistics.

The F-35 would not change that doctrine.

It would cloak it.

Stealth, fusion, reach and allied architecture would not moderate Ankara. They would deepen its penetration. The aircraft would change. The user would not.

A Western fighter is not metal.

It is permissionware.

It lives through engines, parts, weapons, software, missionstack, maintenance, upgrades, licences and clearances. Remove the lifeline, and airpower becomes airframe.

The answer is not at the podium. It is in the machinery: Congress, State, the Pentagon, DSCA, CAATSA, ITAR, FMS, munitions approvals, software releases, sustainment contracts, and the quiet rooms where permissioned airpower is sustained - or stranded.

Washington does not need to touch a runway.

It can close the system.

Access denied. Sustainment severed. Permissions withdrawn.

The doctrine already exists. Turkey was removed from the F-35 program because trust, technology and Russian access cannot coexist. That doctrine now moves to the active file.

A state that shelters Hamas, bargains with Moscow, occupies European territory, threatens Greece, coerces Cyprus and strikes Western partners is not a difficult ally. It is a hostile user of allied infrastructure.

No new F-16s. No modernization. No sensitive munitions. No mission-software indulgence. No Western sustainment for Turkish coercionware.

This is not punishment.

It is alliance hygiene.

Ankara should read this as a warning:

Turkish airpower can be grounded.
The only remaining question is when Ankara hears it.

Landed in Tivat 🇲🇪.

The EU- Western Balkans Summit marks both the remarkable progress we have achieved in the European path of the region, and the next chapter we are writing together.

The Western Balkans are Europe.

And their accession path is about European reunification.

The Cyprus Presidency has delivered on this promise with tangible progress for the Weatern Balkans and overall for enlargement.

✈️🇮🇱🇬🇷🇨🇾 The Commander of the Israeli Air Force, Maj. Gen. Omer Tishler, hosted the commanders of the Hellenic Air Force and the Cypriot Air Force for a joint working visit.

The meetings focused on regional security challenges, operational cooperation, and strengthening military ties between the three air forces.

The visit reflects the growing strategic partnership between Israel, Greece, and Cyprus, and their shared commitment to regional stability, security cooperation, and defense preparedness.

📍Dushanbe ~ As part of my Central Asia tour, it is a distinct honour to be in Tajikistan for the first official visit by a 🇨🇾 Foreign Minister.

Had a productive meeting with Foreign Minister Sirojiddin Muhriddin, where we discussed ways to strengthen 🇨🇾-🇹🇯 ties and expand practical cooperation in fields such as trade, investment, and education.

Within this framework, I had the pleasure to exchange with my 🇹🇯 counterpart a Memorandum of Cooperation in the Field of Higher Education and Research.

As an EU Member State, as well as the current rotating Presidency of the Council of the EU, I reaffirmed 🇨🇾 support for continued engagement between the European Union and Central Asia.

Regional security issues also featured prominently in our discussions.

No matter how hard Tom Barrack tries to whitewash 🇹🇷, the truth is Ankara doesn’t deserve the privilege of 🇺🇸 weapons as long as it violates US laws, acts contrary to US interests, and threatens US allies and partners. #NoJetsForTurkey

Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem Theophilos III met with President Trump at the @WhiteHouse, raising concerns over the security of Christian communities in the #MiddleEast and freedom of worship at the holy sites.

He also presented President @realDonaldTrump with the “Great Bearer of the Cross” honour.

Ambassador, I’m sorry to say it appears you’ve developed a bit of clientitis.

Let me help you — Turkey cannot rejoin the F-35 program while it maintains Russian S-400s. If you or @POTUS try to circumvent that, Congress will stop you.

By the way, aren’t you in the Epstein Files?

Είμαστε περήφανοι, γιατί, κατά γενική ομολογία, η διεθνής υπόσταση της Κυπριακής Δημοκρατίας αναβαθμίζεται, χάρη στην πολυδιάστατη εξωτερική μας πολιτική με σαφή ευρωπαϊκό-δυτικό προσανατολισμό και χωρίς τις όποιες αμφιταλαντεύσεις. Η πατρίδα μας αναγνωρίζεται πλέον για αυτό που πραγματικά τής αξίζει: Ένας σταθερός και ασφαλής κόμβος συνεργασίας, ένας υπεύθυνος και αξιόπιστος εταίρος σε μια περιοχή ιδιαίτερης γεωστρατηγικής σημασίας.

Αναμφίβολα, οι ενέργειες μας σε διεθνές επίπεδο είναι άμεσα συνυφασμένες και με τη μεγάλη προσπάθεια στο εσωτερικό για προσέλκυση ποιοτικών επενδύσεων, δημιουργία περισσότερων θέσεων εργασίας και περαιτέρω ενίσχυση της οικονομίας μας, που μάς επιτρέπει, ανάμεσα σε πολλά άλλα, να ασκούμε στοχευμένη κοινωνική πολιτική και να επενδύουμε σε τομείς, όπως η Παιδεία, η Υγεία το Στεγαστικό και το Κράτος Πρόνοιας.

Πάνω απο όλα, η Κύπρος 🇨🇾

Այսօրվա Կոնգրեսում տրված իմ ցուցմունքից․ Եթե Թուրքիան թույլ չտա հունական համայնքին առանց միջամտության կամ կամայական վիզային սահմանափակումների նշանակել իր սեփական հոգևորականներին, ապա Միացյալ Նահանգները պետք է պատասխանի պատժամիջոցներով և հարցականի տակ դնի Ստամբուլի պատմական վայրերի նկատմամբ Թուրքիայի խնամակալության և ինքնիշխանության ճանաչումը։

Ինչպես Հորդանանն է ֆինանսավորում և նշանակում Երուսաղեմի Վաքֆի կառավարիչներին, այնպես էլ Միացյալ Նահանգները պետք է ճանաչի նմանատիպ մեխանիզմ, որով Տիեզերական Պատրիարքարանը կկարողանա նշանակել և կառավարել Սուրբ Սոֆիան, Կենսատու Աղբյուրի (Զոոդոխոս Պիգե) վանքն ու եկեղեցին, ինչպես նաև Հալկիի Սուրբ Աստվածաբանական Դպրոցը։

Նույն կերպ, Հայ Առաքելական Եկեղեցու գերագույն առաջնորդը՝ ներկայումս Գարեգին Բ Ամենայն Հայոց Կաթողիկոսը, պետք է վերստանձնի Թուրքիայի ողջ տարածքում գտնվող հայկական եկեղեցական ունեցվածքի կառավարումը։

I was honored to celebrate #Israel78 Independence Day in Thessaloniki, surrounded by so many friends of Israel from across public life, academia, business, and culture.

I was especially touched by the recognition bestowed upon me by the Greek-Israeli Friendship Association. Thessaloniki holds a special place in my heart, and I sincerely thank the Greek-Israeli Friendship Association and the Jewish Community of Thessaloniki for organizing such a meaningful evening and for their continued commitment to strengthening the bonds between Israel and Greece. 🇮🇱🇬🇷

SkyStriker is a fully autonomous loitering munition that offers battle-proven precision strike capabilities.
With rapid and flexible deployment via canister or catapult launch systems, SkyStriker features autonomous navigation during cruising and loitering phases.
Its automatic video tracker enables day/night target acquisition, while abort capability allows it to go around and re-engage targets.

SkyStriker locates, acquires, and strikes operator-designated targets with a 5 or 10 kg warhead installed in the fuselage, enabling high-precision performance.
Its electric propulsion offers a low acoustic signature for covert low-altitude operations.

SkyStriker will also be on display at ILA.
Meet us and experience it up close.

Turkey's readmission into the F-35 program would be unacceptable and illegal. I pressed @SecRubio on this and underscored why Turkey cannot have F-35s.

🚨BREAKING: The IDF discovered and fully destroyed another massive underground terror tunnel in Gaza.

Gazans wasted millions of dollars and decades of time just to build terror tunnels to kidnap and murder Jews.

Sick society.
