And just for fun, how about putting short and medium range nukes in Sweden and Finland? That CERTAINLY won’t spike Russian paranoia, will it?

First, you better have a plan for repatriating all of the nukes we have stored there.

To this day, right here and now, Pennsylvania senate candidate Mehmet Oz is STILL loyal to Turkey and Erdogan. He is an Ottoman Islamist who would vote for Sharia Law across the USA.

Say NO to citizens of other countries taking senate seats.
Say NO to the Sean Hannity boot licker from New Jersey, puppet Oz.

Unfortunately, Turkey controls the Bosphorus and Dardanelles straights, which controls the Black Sea.

NATO Turkey is guilty of launching its own invasion of another country and is currently killing the Kurdish population, the menfolk of which the U.S. trained to help us fight against jihadis.

You don't see 24/7 coverage of it in the mockingbird media oddly.

muzz slimes have no place in Western Civilization except as an example of what not to be.

Turkey is useless as a NATO ally. Turkey allied with France in WW2, then reneged when Germany attacked France. Then after the Sep 11 attacks (the only time in NATO's existence to invoke Article 5), Turkey sent troops to Afghanistan not to fight but to train Afghans. Big whoop.

NATO needs Turkey like a priest needs Viagra -- nothing good comes from it only bad can happen.

Oz says that he’ll renounce his Turkish citizenship should he be elected to the US Senate. I hope no Pennsylvania voter is fooled by that. Signing a piece of paper does not change who you are.

Expelling Turkey from NATO will not happen. NATO’s puppet-masters know Turkey can cause endless trouble for them outside of NATO.

What is more likely is that they will pay off Erdogan, big time.

Overall, the DC Deep-State and NATO’s proxy war on Russia will cost them in ways they never imagined.

Expulsion won't happen. But there are only a few there, at Incirlik Air Base. We could bring them home or move them to a European base easily. Unless Biden was handling the withdrawal.

Do you recall that in recent years when we talked of removing our nukes that they were quite uncooperative?

... Turkey no longer satisfies the requirement that it be a “functioning democracy” and ... continues to keep so many of his political enemies locked up and the “country’s free press” has become a joke.

Sadly, one could make these arguments against the U.S. as well.

Sweden is on track to be a “Muzz slime” country real soon.

“First, you better have a plan for repatriating all of the nukes we have stored there.”

In Turkey? We removed them some time ago. The reason? Turkey is an unstable and unreliable “host.”

“Then after the Sep 11 attacks (the only time in NATO’s existence to invoke Article 5), Turkey sent troops to Afghanistan not to fight but to train Afghans.”

And in 2003 Turkey denied the US use of its territory for any operations against Iraq or associated with Gulf War II.

Turkey is key to keeping more Russian ships out of the Black Sea. And the Turkish drones have been a great help to Ukraine.

Now is not the time to kick Turkey out.

Worse case, you can form a secondary organization NATO2, where all the NATO countries and Finland and Sweden pledge to support each other except for Turkey. And you could do so while still maintaining the original NATO. That would give Finland and Sweden security guarantees.

That second organization could eventually become stronger than the original NATO. Even talk of forming a second NATO to overcome Turkey’s rejection, would probably whip Turkey into line.

“Not sure if trading Turkey for Sweden and Finland is the best strategic maneuver for us.”

There is a way around that, and Turkey can’t say squat: A NATO or western cooperative agreement with Finland and Sweden. They become de facto members of NATO without formally joining it.

But it’s ironic, because Turkey is one of the largest supporters of terrorism.

Disband NATO!

It’s the globalists military. Invade, bomb, invade, bomb.

Libya, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq...and many, many more.

Are any of those places better off?
