I've previously posted a few article by Michael Doran, and found him more supportive of Turkey then I think they deserve. This response that Duran's article (note link in text), is accurate from my perspective. He made a jab at President Trump's Middle East policy. I'd have preferred he left that out.

Steven Cook's article is worth reading.

Doesn’t change the fact that Turkey is still a NATO full partner, and that Turkey and the U.S. have several joint aerospace programs, including manufacture of the F-35.

Wonderful ally! Their “religion” commands them to lie to us and murder us in any way possible.

First things first. Before dumping Turkey, the US needs to take over and manage the Bosporous like the Panama canal was.

I am reminded of what was said about fifty years go between an American and Turkish officer.

The American said the US and Turkey were friends.

The Turkish officer said in rebuttal...”WE ARE NOT FRIENDS! We just happen to have the same enemy!”

Turks are nasty people. Like Greeks.
