Said the guy whose army got repeatedly flattened by a country several times smaller than itself… and then spent the next decades building factories and desert cities instead of winning wars. Turns out the one thing your army truly excels at is destroying everything it touches (except the enemy, apparently).
You keep talking as if you speak for your country, constantly saying “we didn’t join because of this and that.” You didn’t join because your country is run by a bunch of clowns who have no idea what they’re doing. Even when relations were bad, Türkiye was passing through the Suez as it pleased and your “regional power” didn’t even make a sound.
Maybe look at operational history of the army you claim “has no experience.” Then you might finally understand what a real military looks like.
