NATO doesn’t need the USA and the USA doesn’t need NATO.
cuz its too difficult to differentiate between Turkey and other NATO countries......
Our NATO expansion is going to cause the death of us all.
Curious as to what Hungary’s issue is with Finland joining NATO.
I am with the Ottomans on this one.
Good news. I think Finland should join now and pressure Turkey to approve Sweden.
Erodgan the Turkish ruler has an election on May 14th it’s possible he will be more flexible after it but I’m not sure of that.
In 2016 July to be precise Erdogan got a call from Vladimir Putin warning him about a coup.
Erdogan blamed the USA for that coup attempt with his enemy a Muslim cleric given refuge in this country.
And by blaming the USA Erdogan was blaming Obama. The Turkish ruler got along better with Trump and now with Obama’s VP in the White House Erdogan is cool to Biden.
NATO is a hyper-complex house of cards. Its arrogant and stupid DC neocons attempting to play “Game of Thrones” when they can’t even tie their own shoes.
It should have been disbanded in 1991, with simple mutual defense treaties signed between US, Germany and UK.
Whatever this tit-for-tat stuff about burning Qurans and fighter upgrades are just noise created by cracks and whole thing crumbling.
A gigantic wall, with machine guns, mortars and water cannons filled with OC spray should be put up on the eastern border of Greece and Bulgaria, and then Turkey should be kicked out of NATO. Erdogan is a radical muslim that is holding Europe hostage.
Close down Incirlik Air Base, shut down the US embassy. Let Erdogan stew with his muslim brethren. I don’t think it would take the Turkish people long to get rid of him.
It would be a shame though, Istanbul is a cool city, lots of things to see and do. And the women are crazy hot. One goes to the area where Salt Bae restaurant is and you wouldn’t know Istanbul from any other city in the US, except for all the smoking and the language.
This is the United States again interfering again in The way another country wants to run it’s government.
The USA continues to push and punish everyone who does not comply... effectively pushing them into alliances with those outside NATO.
Arms dealers ! Merchants of Death ! Gotta keep the war lucre cash train running and on time !
Sounds like blackmail.
That said, I don’t know why the US or Turkey are in NATO.
NO to NATO!!!!
They let Turkey in, now they want to change the rules.
