Lol the Greeks bought 24 Rafales and thought it comes with 50-50 partnership in French foreign affairs

Turns out that bribing the French didn’t work out, who would have thought.

As Sholtz said the sale of Eurofighters to Turkey is led by Great Britain.Considering GB is partner in both Typhoon and Meteor if they insisted to sell them, France probably will have to comply just like Germany caved in after initial refusal to sell the Typhoons in the first place.
Othervise the Brits can just stop any sales of Meteor by France to other buyers in the future.
Apparently, Turkiye has agreed to buy the fighters only if the missiles are included.

So it’s still another article around a tweet which is about the Possibility of France approving it, for now there is no news about the sale of meteor to turkey.

I’m not really clear about how this military stuff works, but can’t we just sell the missiles to Turkye…and give the kill switch to Greece ?
I mean, I love money…

This sub is bloated with Turks but that sale would be a bad idea. We have a defence agreement with Greece that is very obviously against Turkey, selling Turks missiles is a terrible idea since there is a high chance they may use them against not just our Greek friends, but also our own men. Both being of course equally unacceptable.
It’s an hostile country, and it must be treated accordingly. We did the mistake with Russia, now we’re in it too deep to afford to repeat that mistake.

France is overextending itself in global affairs at a time when it needs to stay strategic. Playing both sides in the Türkiye – Greece rivalry is illogical, and the French prefer Greece so why is the government playing this game?
The other day France said they would send troops to Greenland to defend it, when they should’ve worked in a diplomatic solution to not antagonize their main ally over Greenland. Very poor foreign politics saw France get pushed out of Africa and the Middle East.
And if Le Pen or her party do swing into power the next cycle you know they will reverse course on all of these moves.

Turkey’s defense industry is growing rapidly. The jet project (KAAN), the tank project (Altay), they have a ballistic missile program as well…
I see no reason as to why France should not sell weapons to Turkey, knowing that its just a matter of time before Turkey develops it locally. Its just losing money for no reason.
EU really should stop losing money about this matter just because Greece is crying about everything.

Greece demands a whole lotta stuff but got nothing to offer in return

Maybe, just maybe, Greece could explain their dealings with Russa in return, and how/why they assist with getting around sanctions.
