I'm pretty sure we would donate them directly to Erdogan himself if it got us into NATO quicker.

Our newspapers here in Sweden were celebrating that Bob Menendez is getting indicted for bribery, because we see him as a barrier for the US sending F-16s to the Turkish Dictator. With him gone, we're getting excited that Erdogan will finally let us into NATO once he gets his F-16s.
