I'm with you. With allies like that, who needs hostiles?
Turkiya ceased to be a "crucial" ally the day the Soviet Union fell apart. They have ceased to be any ally at all when they reneged on letting our mechanized forces go through Turkey to seal off Hussein's northern/western regions. They have become downright enemies of late in the matter of working against us in Syria and vs our allies the Kurds. Now lately, they have taken a belligerent stance toward our REAL crucial ally, Israel.
"Crucial ally"? Turkey? Who but an undereducated or mentally imbalanced person could write those words?
