While I agree with you, we do have legal obligations pursuant to the NATO treaty.

Not when they conflict with our survival we don't.

I understand what you're saying. But there is no such "escape clause" in the NATO treaty. Personally, I would expel Turkey from NATO, as it no longer serves the purpose it once did (and it was not run by islamists when it joined NATO). Perhaps NATO's time has come and gone. It was created as opposition to the Soviet Union, which no longer exists. And today Russia has more in common with us than Turkey does.
