I'm not Turkish! I'm just speaking from a financial point of view. As you know, modern warfare is quite expensive and fought at great distances most of the time. A lot of NATO equipment is bought from America, so getting parts would be tricky (unless another NATO country secretly supplies them). If Turkey could secure military hardware from another country, then definately America will run into some serious problems. While I believe America has the strategic advantage (foreign bases), along with a more equipped Navy, I do not believe they can occupy the Turkish republic in the long run (just destroy a lot of the infrastructure). As long as there is a flow of weapons, people will keep fighting!
Alliances can sometimes be very unpredictable, and could easily change. Maybe others will disagree but I feel this friendship is not 'future proof', especially with Israel involved.
Of course, and they will do whatever they can to protect their interests (even if this means killing innocent Greeks / Armenians etc). But if Israel does get invaded, people like this 'mad dog' will be the first to throw their weapons down and surrender! I do not pay much attention to such words, even if they are serious. When a mongoose wants to eat a snake, regardless of being bitten IT WILL!
