Are the Turks leaving NATO for an alliance with Iran? The article seems to say so? I think the French left NATO for a wee bit or am I wrong here? If Turkey goes what happens to our bases? Move to Georgia or Iraq?
Erdogan is going to create civil war conditions in Turkey, and it isn’t going to be pretty by the time the blood stops flowing. Interesting parallel to draw, France and Turkey.
That asshat Charles De Gaulle took France out of NATO (technically, removed all French forces from the NATO command structure, remaining within the alliance) in 1966, and France didn’t rejoin per se until the 1990s.
Chucklehead himself didn’t survive the next elections that *he himself called for*, retired, and died. The dumb bastard had spent most of WWII broadcasting French language radio shows from exile in Britain, and continuously badmouthed the UK and the others fighting the Nazis — until British intelligence agents blew up part of a structure he was in at the time. He got the message and toned it down some.
