Who is threatening Turkey?

by sheikyermami on November 9, 2011

Take a look:

Why is Turkey spending so much for its military when everybody else in Europe is cutting military spending?

Any idea why Turkey needs to spend so much for its military? Who’s threatening Turkey?

Indonesia to increase military spending too:

Australia is asleep at the wheel:

“Move to boost defence budget by 35 per cent seen as bid to balance China’s growing military in Southeast Asia.”

Sure. The Indo’s will ‘protect us’ from the Chinese. Indonesia will be “an important ally ” to the U.S. The Indo’s need fighter aircraft “more than anything”, to ‘compete with the rest of the region’…..

(Sorry I can’t post the vid)

The Indonesian government has said it will increase its defence budget by 35 per cent next year, in a step which is seen as helping to balance China’s growing military strength in the region.

Indonesia has the largest army in Southeast Asia, but its equipment is often outdated and dangerous, so the upgrade is seen as necessary. The machines that make ammunition in the nation’s weapon factories currently date back to 1938.

In 2005 the US lifted a six-year weapons embargo that had been imposed after alleged human-rights abuses. That embargo, and a tight military budget, were the main reasons behind why the equipment was never renewed.
