Ummm.
No.
NATO should have expelled Turkey after the invasion of Cyprus in 1974 and any drivel written about NATO and Turkey which doesn’t mention this issue within the first few paragraphs is either mindless propaganda or so poorly researched as to be worthless.
In either of the only two possible cases this isn’t worth reading really.

Nanzi bowed down in servitude to rag-head's request for a seat on the US Congress' Foreign Affairs Committee..

And this is why. What US secrets is raggedy spilling to Erdogan?

Back in the day, a Turkey partnership was needed. The Soviet Union was just across the Black Sea, and Turkey was important in a strategic sense. With the technology today, that is no longer the case. They should have been removed as soon as The current Turkish president was elected and went full-on fascist.

What is the point of NATO at this point? Why should the US be part of it?

Let’s just correct that, because somebody should.
Turkey was needed until the range of our weapons and aircraft was long enough that it wasn’t needed.
Then it was kept for inadequate and inappropriate reasons long after it wasn’t needed.

Why no.
No it isn’t “a different time”
It is still the same times and the Turks still shoot and kill people who manage to get into Varosha.
I don’t know how you twist your thinking so as to make killing people in Cyprus doesn’t matter, but I am not going to agree with you on that.

Rather than throw Turkey out, NATO should just invite Israel into the alliance. Just prior to this invitation, under cover of darkness, and without prior notice, the NATO nuclear umbrella should be removed from Turkey, so Erdogan would find out just what his value is, and just how strong he is vs his "allies" Vlad the Imploder and the Shiite-head in Iran. Turkey would resign from NATO in an eyeblink, because Erdogan certainly won't prostrate himself to the infidel. I mean, not before we or one of his "allies" shoot him dead and we step over his carcass to shake hands with his successor.

I was at Incirlik in 1982. I never thought the Turks were our allies.

The world and NATO’s role in it looked a lot different then. I think we need to fold-up NATO now, but then you’ll probably have a dominant Germany. I don’t think Poland, Hungary or any of the East European countries want to see that.

I am quite willing to replace NATO with an organization propping up the States holding the line against Islam.
But scuttling NATO doesn’t make the European problems worse than they now are because it will embolden the Muslims there while there are fewer of them.

And regardless of what you thought about the Iraq invasion at the time, or now, when Turkey wouldnt allow us to stage out of Turkey, it became even more obvious they are not.

Neocon BS. Expel the Germans and the French for not paying their dues and building up their own militaries.

Turkey does seem to be on the wrong side, needs to be out of nato for Ezek. 38-39 to happen.
Over 130 historical references demonstrate that Magog is the father of today’s Russian people. The phrase “hooks in the jaw” comes from the equestrian world where a special bridle is used to make a rebellious horse obedient to its rider’s commands. It symbolizes God forcing Russia to become involved in this battle to assure that His will is done. Persia is the ancient name for Iran, Cush and Put represent the North African nations, Gomer was Magog’s brother and settled along the Danube River in what would become Eastern Europe, and Togarmah, a son of Gomer, inhabited what’s now known as Turkey. The characteristic all these nations have in common today is their religion. They’re all Moslem. “Get ready; be prepared, you and all the hordes gathered about you, and take command of them. After many days you will be called to arms. In future years you will invade a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and now all of them live in safety. You and all your troops and the many nations with you will go up, advancing like a storm; you will be like a cloud covering the land. (Ezek. 38:7-9) If the fulfillment of Psalm 83 and Isaiah 17 precede the Battle Ezekiel 38, it helps explain how Israel could be taken by surprise when the Moslem coalition attacks and why none of Israel’s next door neighbors are mentioned in Ezekiel’s line up.
