It starts out goofy, but it's a lot of information. I just can't know how reliable it is.

It was a huge mistake admitting Turkey into NATO. The Germans really blew choking on their colonial arrogance, as did France and England.

I’ve been watching his vids for a few years now, seems fairly reliable.

On Turkey, I agree and feel they should be kicked out of NATO. They were only admitted as a bulwark against the Warsaw pact. Russia is 1/4 as strong so why do we even need them? ( Warsaw pact had 16,000 military aircraft in the 70s, Russia has about 4000 today).

Russia can’t even conquer Ukraine as proof.

“It was a huge mistake admitting Turkey into NATO. “

Early in, Turkey was a way station for the USAF to jump into a middle east war. With technological changes, especially with drone technology, I’m not sure what the value is of having Turkey in NATO.

I think the 2 main reasons we let Turkey into NATO are
1. We could put Jupiter ICBMs close the the Soviet southern border
2. Control the Dardanelles and block the Black Sea Fleet from the Mediterranean.
