If you are refearing to Turkey, they voted not to let you guys to use their country for an attack. Then there was money offered, from US, like 60 billions.
After this, many of the Other Eu members warned turkey, not to go against their parlament: Turkey did a wise choice.
You misinterpret the timeline, actually Crab. Turkey was threatened with withdrawal of military support
before their vote on the matter if they supported the US. The US offered money (though nothing in the realm of 60 billions) to offset costs of their support if they provided it, but you might note unlike the blackmail above, the US
did not remove or threaten to remove existing support when Turkey did not support us.
This is a seperate case of French led blackmail, however. I am actually referring to Hungary, Czech Republic, Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, and Chirac's threats to them.
