I don't know why you would have this kind of negative opinion of Turkey, just cause of Turkish support of Uyghurs?

Turkey is a genuine rising power. Its the richest Muslim country that is not reliant on oil. So, essentially it is the most advanced muslim country and a role model for pretty much all Muslim countries. Its economy is highly diversified and advanced and starting to catch up industrially.

We see what they will send this time.

I would like to see a F-35 vs J-20 air battle. Why not. Got to test out the weapons sooner or later.

That boat was basically unarmed, at least no heavy weapons. The coast guard 76mm would have blown it to bits.
