I wander why this companies could not stop the US Govt from blocking the sales of the F35 to Turkey just because Turkey wanted to buy the Triumf.

The Turkish wanted to buy about 100 F35, but just because Turkey wan buy the Growler the deal was cancelled.

USA get plenty rich customers, dem fit decide to sell or not, no matter how rich you're.

Inler77:

You Need to understand the politics at play in such a scenario, turkey has emerged as a very strong contender in regional and international politics. The same US that denies Turkey weapons is funding the Israel defence that has made killing Palestinians its pastime and providing weapons for Saudi Arabia despite all that's going on in Yemen.

Whyem15:



human rights abuses you say?
That is just a tool used in punishing governments that are poor and not submissive to Washington. Say Nigeria has an annual defense budget of $10 billion and the military was willing to splash it all on overpriced American weapons, you honestly think they will not grab the deal because of "human rights abuses" and allow you turn to other countries?
Just indicate that you are ready to buy two squadrons of the Apache at about $2.5 billion and the extreme lawmakers will be having a very difficult time stopping the deal because of human rights.
The companies involved in the manufacturing of the components of these systems will not allow the lawmakers whose campaigns they sponsored rest until they approve the deal.
But when you're u are buying in twos and fours, no one will take you seriously.

It's a known fact that America has more war crimes and human rights issues than Nigeria, but Nigerians will not let us hear word, with the constant cry of human rights.

I hope you know that Turkey already paid for the F35s? The reason US is refusing to deliver the aircrafts to turkey is to pressure them to go for American Air defense systems rather than Russian.
The official reason given was that the S400 will compromise the F35 systems and it is not compatible with NATO's systems.
Unofficially, it is all about securing the market for US defense industry. The same reason why the CAATSA was passed. Same reason they hijacked the Australian submarine deal from France. Had it been that turkey hadn't spent a dime in the F-35 program, it would have been a different story entirely.

On their own citizens as is the case with Nigeria?

We send young men to kill other people(criminals and terrorist) then abandon them later without taking care of them or monitoring how they cope with the mental stress of battle, when these young men eventually turn to drugs to cope with the mental tortures, we then funnily expect sane behaviors from them. In order to reduce military brutality of civilians, we need to be more deliberate on taking care of their mental health. This doesn't include those who right from the beginning see being in the military as an opportunity to brutalise others. But we can significantly reduce the cases by making sure soldiers don't stay too long in the frontlines and are well taken care of several years after returning from the frontlines. Maybe having a program to here they have to pass through immediately after being pulled from the frontlines to sort of 'deradicalize' them and ease them back to normal life.
We cannot continue to make monsters of men and expect them to be normal when they are no longer being used actively.


Suicide rate among ex US service men is among the highest in the world, they also have an abnormally high violent crimes rate, Nigerian soldiers are not immune to these consequences of war.

Lol

Una sha dey try prove say violence against armless civilians is not a Nigerian army thing.

The Nigerian army is so indescipline and unprofessional, a minister in Mali said they are only good at manning checkpoint.

For this one wey Economy bad, the Nigerian Army still went ahead to burn down people properties. The people there crime is to having properties in a community a Nigerian army personnel was.killed

“Government condemns the murder of a soldier by the so called unknown gunmen. Certainly, this soldier who was on a legitimate duty to ensure free flow of traffic and to protect lives and property on this fafeful Monday of November 22nd, did not deserve to die such a gruesome death. “On the other hand, Government deprecates reports of wanton destruction of property visited on the community by aggrieved soldiers.The indiscriminate burning of residential and businesses premises of innocent citizens was not an appropriate response since two wrongs will never make a right. Government has good reasons to believe that there is more to the sad event than meets the eyes.

The Government of Hope Uzodinma would have been in shock sef, and couldn't hide how disappointed in the army through their press release.

America is not fighting war in his homeland, but their cops are killing a lot of American citizens, in their country, what would you say about that?
Are you also trying to tell me the citizens of other those countries American soldiers committed war crimes against are less of a human?
If insurgency break out in America, then you will see the records of US troops war crimes against it citizens.

DubaiLandLord1:
Is an insult to compare the Nigerian military with the military of the USA.


I will never forget when Boko Haram beheaded a NAF officer. A wing commander or so, the Spokesman of the Nigerian Air force release a press statement, saying the Officer is not a Nigerian Air force personnel

Faithful007:
Many civilians shot by police was in a standoff situation. How many unarmed people have been shot by police in Nigeria? How much of it is documented?

SamuelAnyawu:


Do we document deaths of Police brutality in Nigeria? Countless drivers have died for not giving a token at checkpoints.

However, we shouldn’t complain as Police in the US also kills its citizens!
