Turkey will be the nation to destabilize NATO. The nation has had discrepancies with the EU, US, and most nations within the bloc. “In an environment where 32 allies are together, it is unthinkable to have the same views on every issue,” defense minister Yasar Guler warned.
Turkey’s continued diplomatic relations with Russia are raising concerns among NATO members who simultaneously do not want to lose their connection to the Arab world.

Erdoğan has expressed interest in joining BRICS as soon as this year. This would make Turkey the first member nation of NATO to join the alliance with Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates.
NATO is focused on defeating Russia, while one member is focused on aligning itself with Moscow and increasing trade. Russia remains Turkey’s largest energy supplier, with the two nations cooperating on numerous pipelines, such as the TurkStream Natural Gas Pipeline. The two also share nuclear energy power through the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant. Russia has been able to use these key items to bypass sanctions.
Additionally, Turkey is sympathetic to the Palestinians over Israel, which certainly goes against NATO’s goals. Turkey sees an opportunity to become the mediator of the Arab world. Erdogan even considered invading Israel to help Palestine — a move that certainly would have sent NATO into upheaval.

Turkey does not need to abide by the rules of the European Union or the United States. Turkey would be required to fight under Article V, but technically, the war has not begun as Ukraine is not a member of NATO.
Turkey did not join the European Union as it did not meet the criteria laid out under the Copenhagen Criteria Agreement of 1993. Greece and Turkey both joined NATO in 1952, but the two have been sworn enemies for centuries. Both nations claimed Cyprus and have disputes over the Aegean Sea. Other EU members like France and Germany have been outspoken about their distrust of the Turkish government and the prospect of having a Muslim nation join their liberal cabal. Turkey may be a NATO member, but it is akin to the black sheep of the bloc.
Turkey has the second-largest standing army of all member states. It has a strategic position in the Black Sea that is of the utmost importance to NATO. NATO is focused on mobilizing troops and financial aid against Russia in an ongoing proxy war.
Then there’s Turkey who is hoping to align with Russia and join BRICS. Erdoğan has grand dreams for Turkey reminiscent of the glory of the Ottoman Empire. His nation was shunned from alliances with other Western nations and kept at arm’s length.
Now, Turkey is flipping the script and seeking to side with the perceived enemy. How will NATO respond if Turkey is invited to join BRICS? China and Russia would be wise to permit Turkey to join as it will absolutely destabilize the NATO alliance.
All eyes on the upcoming Brics Summit. Little coverage by western MSM now, the USD is dying, prepare accordingly.
I would thank anyone who can end NATO and/or the UN. Or, really, and similar international organization.
Yeah blame it on Turkey instead of the NATO role in globohomo imperialism and the NATO/EU/US effort to undermine the Rights of Man that forms the UN Human Rights Charter as well as the US Constitution and Declaration of Independence.
Who knows which NATO countries were responsible for blowing up the Norstrom pipeline and the German economy with it. How many color revolutions have NATO members instigated?
Defensive organzation against Communism has turned communist. It should break up and disolve.
What are the objectives, express and hiden? What does vitory look like.
Turkey has been on the outs with NATO for almost a decade now.
Originally, Turkey was a development partner nation with the U.S. in developing the F-35, was going to purchase at least 100 F-35s, and was going to be the European Depot for F-35 repairs and maintenance for Euro-based F-35s. Turkey was also going to be a final assembly point for some F-35s, and was also a manufacturing partner making components for all F-35s.
But when Turkey purchased Russian Surface to Air missile systems, the U.S. forbade Turkey from purchasing or operating the F-35, took away their final assembly rights, and replaced them as a component provider for the F-35 program.
Turkey should have been kicked out when it invaded Cyprus in 1974.

Ha, yes. The author talks about destabilizing NATO as if it’s a bad thing.
But maybe Europe needs something like NATO. Well, it’s not 1945 anymore. Europe is now plenty rich enough to form its own defense organization. Just leave us out of it.
Why should a Muslim nation have a hand in a western Christian organization?
Simply remove Turkey from NATO then use NATO to make sure any NATO base in Turkey is protected.
Dump Turkey, and whatever aid we give them, and I’m assuming it’s quite a bit. They can’t be both our ally and sleep with the wolves.
Turkey is no ally and should have been kicked out a long time ago. Conversely, we should have left a long time ago. Western Europe is a basket case and should be left to wither away.
They support their tyrannical welfare state on the backs of America.
How about if I destabilize it...
NATO is a useless, redundant organization that most of the members do not comply with.
Therefore the contract that it is, is null and void.
Period.
NATO is dissolving itself. Great Britain will go goat-humper and then what’s the point?
The problem with Turkey, they are way too sensitive to Islam!
NATO is nothing but a money laundering operation for globalists. The quicker it dies, the better.
NATO is a military alliance, not a religious organization.
