Turkey should not be in NATO, it fact NATO is no longer needed since NATO was a defensive pack against the Warsaw pack nations. The Warsaw pack is gone, NATO should be gone too. Russia is not a threat to western/central Europe. And anybody that thinks Russia was going to let NATO take over the Russian naval base in the Crimea (Sevastopol) is delusional. The Crimea has been in Russian hands since the days of Catherine the Great.

It was the insane neocons that started this entire mess. Neocons should be placed in jail and never again have any say in our foreign policy.

Interesting you want to put Americans in jail while you give a pass to Russia as it invades Georgia and Ukraine and illegally annexes Crimea.

Russia is about as messed up a country as you can find. No semblance of constitutional government as Putin is elected for life. Horrible economy which has two exports, oil and armaments sold to enemies of freedom, IslamoTheocracies, and used to destabilize places throughout the world.

Not to mention the missile technology and nuclear materials sold to Iran.

Well .. you may be correct in your assessment, but that doesn’t change the current facts on the ground.

Turkey is a member of NATO .. and we are a part of that current agreement.
