Why is Turkey still in NATO?
Turkey has been in NATO for about 60 years. Incirlik was where IRBMs were based that were the trade off for removal of Soviet missiles in Cuba, a little tidbit whitewashed by the Camelot folks in JFK’s admin.
Turkey has the 2nd largest Army in NATO.
It also hosts a wide variety of antenna for monitoring what goes in in Russia.
If Ukraine had paid for the gas it was stealing during transit to Europe, there would have been no Turkistream pipeline.
