By absolute terms Turkey is only second in the world after USA. We sent 80 billion dollars of foreign aid in 10 years man. It's an incredible amount when you consider the budget of the armed forces. Could've built 10 carriers with that money. Could have bought the entire US Air Force inventory of F35s. It's a stunningly huge amount especially if you consider the living standards of the Turkish people.
Nobody who has a single drop of Turkish blood in his veins can be okay with this.
Turkey may give huge aid but it does expand its reach via it, it is slowly expanding its influence and reach, its becoming a powerful state with close partnership with many nations. Nobody will give 80B for no reason at all. Turkey needs to expand its military so they could protect their strategic partners.
