Should never have been in NATO in the first place, and at the very least they should have been kicked out in 1974 for invading the territory of another NATO member when they invaded Cyprus.
Turkey? An “ALLY”?
What’s the matter with you?
Since 0 took office, it’s been the end of everyone as an ally. Quite literally.
Our only ‘friends’ now are only uslim countries and selected anti-American dictators.
NATO is a mutual defense organization, which commits its members to defend each other if attacked by a foreign aggressor. Turkey has no obligation to lend any assistance to the U.S. in a military campaign overseen by a jug-eared Kenyan exchange student that is being waged for political purposes only. ISIS never attacked the U.S., and Turkey's leadership knows damn well that their involvement is only going to be used as a political tool in the U.S. to demonstrate the presence of a "coalition" in the U.S. military campaign.
What should one expect with an enemy islamist as President of the, uh...United States
If the Caliphate of ISIS succeeds then Turkey is likely looking to take it over in a partial resurrection of the Ottoman Empire.
That ship sailed 13 years ago.
Why is this a surprise? After all Turkey is predominantly Islamic country.
Never forget what started this “Arab spring” and Jihadist uprising.
Once there was Saddam in Iraq, Mubarak in Egypt, Gaddafi in Libya, etc were keeping Jihadists under control. Then Bush-43 made the worst blunder in American foreign policy of recent years by invading Iraq.
Result? We have ISIS in Iraq & Syria, Libya is total chaos, Egypt has Muslim brotherhood, Yemen is terrorist heaven, Afghanistan is about to be taken over by Taliban.
Obummer will finish the job by toppling Assad in Syria.
turkey had a chance to join the civilized would. It rejected it as it turned itself toward the medieval savagery of its main religion.
Gotta be careful - - every thug in the world knows Obama’s going to be in office only another two years. The world's monsters are chomping at the bit to make moves... If we're stretched too thin it won't just be Taiwan and Europe that go down - it could be us too....
Can’t believe anyone ever proposed letting the Turks into the EU, let alone Germany and other countries importing thousands of them as residents. (Scratch that last espostulation; we’ve been importing thousands of mohammedans since Bush II and before.)
We don’t know what we don’t know and should avoid believing the propaganda Obama distributes via his MSM minions.
The opinion in this piece is mostly based on not really knowing as well.
