For Real Reason Turkey Is Blocking NATO Expansion, Look to Cyprus

The buckets of cold water Turkey is pouring on Finland and Sweden’s bids to join NATO may be coming from the sea around the shore of Cyprus, the divided Mediterranean island that is a bargaining chip for the Turkish president, Tayyip Erdogan.

There is mounting evidence that Turkey could be using its status as a member of NATO to wield its veto power over the anticipated accession to the alliance of the two Nordic countries as a lever to force the international community to confer legitimacy on its de facto Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.

London’s Sunday Express recently reported that the leader of the TRNC — which is recognized by no other country but Turkey — requested that Mr. Erdogan put the status of the rogue state on the table in the NATO talks scheduled to take place later this month. The rogue state's president, Ersin Tatar, told the British newspaper that his aim is for North Cyprus to be recognized as a separate country.

There should be no NATO period. It’s a very far cry from what it’s inital purpose was.

When Europe Nato doesn’t play nice with Erdogan he likes to open the flood gates of his refugee camps to European Borders and anywhere else he can use them as cannon fodder.

Howevr China and Russia both have Globalist Ideas - with them in charge.
The rest are Islamic countries who have their own agenda as well. N. Korea is and always will be the wild card under China’s control....China uses N. Koreas nuclear threat to sabre rattle at will.

Russia doesn't act in anyway like they still have globalist ideas as when they were Soviets pushing Communism.

The Chinese seem to just want to control all the territory that their empire once controlled. I don't know that they want everyone speaking Mandarin and eating with chopsticks.

The Western globalists want, really demand, that everyone be okay with the cosmopolitan lifestyle of a city like New York or London. They're only going soft on Islam right now expecting that they will cave to hedonism as most of the Jews and Christians did. Even if the Russians or Chinese became a hegemonic unipolar empire, they would allow more variety of beliefs within the separate countries than the EU.

“Kick Turkey out of NATO, the cold war is over and NATO doesn’t need a bunch of muzzies with nukes on their soil. Problems solved.”

I gather you don’t follow the demographic changes in virtually all of the other NATO countries.
