Hi.

Sorry to ask off topic question here. How do i contact a moderator? I tried but it says insufficient privilege.


No problem, the option to report is indeed limited for new members. As such contact a moderator you want to contact via a quote (like you did) or start a conversation ... hope this helps.

Unlikely to be offered to India after India accepted the S-400. Turkey got booted from over 100 F-35's after it accepted Russian S-400 system, so it's highly unlikely US would make an exception for India, based on Turkey's S-400 deal.
Turkey initially was very anti China because of the uighur problem. So they got the F35 but had tone down after having trouble with US and Nato. So now no F35 as they now do not serve US interest (against China). India on the other hand, is going headlong against China which serves US interest. So two very different circumstances, can't be compaired together. When India exploded its atomic bomb, did it get sanctioned? Compaired that to N. Korea.

India did not get sanctioned but the U.S. withdrew technical support for the LCA program if I am not mistaken.

The US withdrawing technical support apparently was the reason why both the Arjun and LCA program took much longer to develop

I don't think the Uyghur issue affect the F35 decision, it is very incomparable. Pretty sure the S400, growing division between Turkey and west on Syria et al weights mode heavily than the Uyghur issue.

Turkey you say? The West themselves pushed Turkey away. And I read an interesting article recently.

Again a sinister plot of evil Chinese?

Yeah I have read that.
If you tell me a few years ago that there is a possibility of influence axis (albeit loose) of Pakistan Iran China Turkey and Russia, I'd say that you are out of your mind.
P.S. Personally I believe that it is a good practice to continuously dug up old geopolitical opinion articles and reflect the veracity of the said opinion.
