What if the Turkish influence in Syria brings it into direct conflict with Israel? Will NATO be forced to confront Israel if Israel were to attack Turkey? President Erdogan has responded to Israel’s war against Hamas by severing all ties with Israel Were Erdogan to take aggressive military action, Israel would be hard pressed not to respond forcefully.

It would be the perfect storm. Israel isn't messing around and Trump will tell the Turks to ask Vlad for assistance.

Iran cannot help them. The Kurds are ripe for independence. All the muzzie crazies will be fighting amongst themselves-good for us.

It is time to boot Turkey out of Cyprus and give it back to the Greeks. Let us see if Turkey will stay in NATO after that.

“Time to Expel Turkey From NATO”

Never escalate a situation.

Israel is fully capable of filling graveyards with Turks if necessary.

The Turks know what Gaza looks like.

No.

NATO has only invoked Article 5 once, after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States.

NATO will conclude that Turkey is being aggressive in Syria so we'll have nothing to do with it.

Should have done it in 1974 when they invaded Cyprus.

The fantasy of a United Kurdistan has been around for decades. Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria will not allow it. Iran and Iraq permit some autonomy, but they will not cede them any territory.

The Kurds have been killing Turkish diplomats overseas, including in the U.S. The PKK war with Turkey has killed over 40,000 people. They

NATO has been an expensive mistress for United States for 80 years. Time to ditch the mistress.

We should get out of NATO and let Darwin sort them out. Including Israel.

‘ We should get out of NATO and let Darwin sort them out. Including Israel.’

Darwin has left the building, and a long time ago.

I notice that the article doesn't mention the provision of the NATO treaty that discussed the mechanism for expulsion.

That's because there isn't one.

So unfortunately, there isn't any way to kick Turkey out of NATO.

the country of Turkey is as close to the North Atlantic, as Long Beach, Calif. is to Cape Cod. Mass.

the country of Turkey was once part of the Ottoman Empire, and sworn enemy of Western Europe.

Mr. Erdogan has dreams of the resurgence of that defeated empire. Why should the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, as a defender of freedom of its member states, as defined in its founding charter, allow Turkey, in its mohammedan thecracy, be allowed membership?

Nonsense.

Where did you get your information?

I know about the region. The Kurds in the 4 nations they live are not at all alike.
