That could be - Turkey doesn't exactly have clean hands in this whole mess.

No they do not. If they can use one group they despise to take care of another, they will.
Tragically, our weak leader emboldens them.

Apparently even before we sold Iran those F14's, we sold them a number of F-4's, but also the capability to manufacture some of its parts. So they have more operational aircraft even today. Also, I have read that South Korea and Israel have sold them some parts. Its hard to imagine Israel doing that, though?

Well, Canada welcomed them into NATO too, so we should collectively put a stop to it, but it's hard to penalize the only predominantly Muslim country in NATO without some backlash from the last place we need it. And in that part of the world, playing both ends against the middle is a way of life.

Reporting I've seen here on this is that it's the Turkish government that is pushing this as a condition of continued US access to Turkish bases and airspace.
