🇹🇷🇸🇦 Turkey and Saudi Arabia Deepen Defense Ties with Potential KAAN Fighter Jet Deal
Saudi Arabia is considering the purchase of 100 KAAN fifth-generation fighter jets from Turkey. If finalized, this deal would represent a record-breaking export for Turkey and highlight Ankara’s emergence as a key defense supplier in the region.
This move builds on Saudi Arabia’s previous defense acquisitions from Turkey, including the Bayraktar Akıncı UAVs and Ejder Yalçın armored vehicles, as well as recent discussions on joint production and technology transfer. The growing partnership also coincides with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which prioritizes localizing defense production and diversifying military suppliers beyond traditional Western allies.
The potential KAAN deal signals a notable realignment in Saudi defense procurement. Historically reliant on the U.S. and Europe, Riyadh has increasingly turned to Turkey for cutting-edge technology. This follows the U.S. lifting its ban on bomb sales to Saudi Arabia in August of 2024, but they continued to diversify.
This collaboration reflects the thawing of relations between Turkey and Saudi Arabia after years of tension.

Sometimes I think about how much further along we would be if we hadn't chosen, en masse, to applaud TV characters as they deceive millions of people at a time, all for the sake of "winning" fake elections.

Hopefully it will never come up, but just in case…
The Controlled Opposition Dynamic strategy to get rid of Trump/MAGA would be:
1. The Uniparty Right and its plausible allies merge with MAGA by assuming all of MAGA’s “desirable qualities”
2. Stress unity at all times, stress moderation at all times, discourage anything that can be perceived as extreme so the weak alliances do not erode
3. Take power on the back of this new coalition
4. Prioritize all establishment goals, framed as MAGA goals
5. Marginalize actual MAGA supporters and priorities via the same tactics used by the Uniparty Left, but now from the “same side,” mainstreaming MAGA as represented by the Uniparty Right establishment with MAGA-friendly characters (Ron!, JD!, Tucker, etc…)
6. Break the coalition and punish whoever refuses to accept leadership from the establishment
None of this is mysterious. This is the price we pay for our desperate groveling for allies and our yearning to be best friends with whoever says nice things about us on TV.
XformerlyTwitter has always been a censored platform. How long after the marginalizing begins will the censorship return?

PS
For the record, this is the Ol’ Switcheroo I’ve been discussing for a few years.
To steal the identity, you first have to merge with it, then make yourself seen as the standard-bearer, then marginalize are shun the people who formed the original identification.
This is what the normiesphere is attempting now.

What's the takeaway here as the normie narratives settle in?
MAGA is racist.
The NormieCon establishment is just the left. It's a Uniparty.
The election was fake. It cost them nothing to pretend to support Trump and MAGA.

How long between when Elon Musk tells all of XformerlyTwitter to ignore the "trolls" to when the "trolls" are simply censored for being "disruptive to the public conversation"?

I think this whole H1B thing is an OP, a narrative perhaps driven by Team Trump to introduce the argument into the public mind, in the middle of an Information war between Illegal vs Legal Immigration to an extent. Everything beyond that is parsing out the minutia of that narrative and how to approach various aspects of it.

Time to set the record straight:
The modern Republican Party evolved in the 1970's, after the Watergate Scandal— a psyop to destroy an uncompliant DC outsider (Nixon).
By this time, the Mainstream Media had been firmly established, and had used its platform to sow fear over changing demographics and "cultural revolution." (i.e. the Hippie Movement, which was also a CIA-funded operation where agents were deployed in the late 1960's to hand out free LSD to young adults and encourage them to reject traditional values and embrace degeneracy.) The hyper-focus on social issues (abortion, civil rights, gun control) by the media distracted the public from more pressing policy issues such as taxation, and the erosion of the manufacturing sector through trade imbalance (bad trade deals) and the ever-expanding administrative state. (Creation of agencies such as the EPA, ATF, DEA, OSHA, NHTSA, and NOAA, all of which were created in the 1970's)
In 1973, a self-described "democratic-socialist" named Michael Harrington coined the term " neoconservative," to describe "liberal intellectuals and political philosophers who were disaffected with the political and cultural attitudes dominating the Democratic Party and were moving toward a new form of conservatism." The man who is considered "the godfather of neoconservatism" was Irving Kristol (father of Bill Kristol) and he said that neoconservatives actually supported the "limited" welfare state implemented by FDR, but rejected the more progressive programs instituted in the 1960's by LBJ's Great Society policy. (The net effect being that the Overton's Goalposts— h/t Burning Bright— were shifted so that the new political paradigm was a debate on how much socialism was appropriate for American society.)
In Irving Kristol's own words, "...a neoconservative is a liberal who has been mugged by reality."
Kristol purported that "bourgeois capitalism (economic policies that favor wealthy merchants and businessmen, who are entrusted by society to amass great fortunes then "trickle down" their wealth to their workers) is worthy of two cheers."
One of Michael Harrington's chief allies was Max Shachtman, who was born in 1904 in the Russian Empire's Pale of Settlement to a Jewish family in Warsaw (moved to NYC as a child) and as an adult became a close friend and political ally to Leon Trotsky— the Bolshevik leader who in 1917 would assist Vladimir Lenin in leading a violent revolution against the Russian royal family which resulted in their brutal murder. (Irving Kristol was born in 1920 to a Jewish family that had migrated to NYC from the Pale of Settlement— which was abolished by the Bolsheviks after they took power in 1917. Michael Harrington was raised in a Catholic family but became an athiest.) Shachtman was a gifted writer and is credited with spreading Trotsky's ideas after being the first American to visit him in exile in 1930. They became close allies until a falling out in 1937.
After Trosky was expelled by Stalin from the Communist Party in 1226 and exiled/deported in 1929, he eventually settled in Mexico in 1937. The reason Trotsky was expelled was because he had become Stalin's biggest critic after the death of Lenin in 1924, and the biggest issue on which the two disagreed was how to sustain the communist/socialist revolution (the Soviet state). Trotsky's theory of "permanent revolution" stated that the socialist revolution could only survive if it was spread to advanced capitalist countries (like a parasitic virus), while Stalin's view was that of "socialism in one country," where Russia should focus on itself and strengthening the Soviet state rather than supporting a worldwide revolution.
