US offers F-35s for Russian oil. Sanctions? It's complicated.

The latest geopolitical maneuver suggests a bold new paradigm for international relations, with reports indicating a surprising offer from Washington. Apparently, the much-coveted F-35 fighter jets, previously withheld due to geopolitical friction, are now on the table for Turkey. The catch? A new, "excellent" deal for Russian oil.

This strategic pivot redefines "sanctions relief" and, indeed, "strategic alignment." One might have assumed that a nation's energy independence, or at least a *diversification away* from geopolitical rivals, was the goal. But no, evidently the pathway to advanced military hardware and improved bilateral ties now runs directly through... an enhanced arrangement for Russian oil. It seems certain transactions are simply "better" when facilitated through the right channels, regardless of origin.

Such a pragmatic approach ensures that principle remains a fluid concept, easily reconfigured to suit the immediate transactional imperative. Why bother with consistent foreign policy when you can simply declare a previously undesirable commodity "excellent" and throw in some stealth fighters for good measure? It’s a masterclass in modern diplomacy, where everything, it turns out, is indeed for sale, provided the right incentives are dangled.
