Time to oblige them.
Tuck Furkey.
Take their advice and take both the ship and the billions of dollars in foreign aid we send them too.
Pull out US troops. Make it known that the US is no longer obligated to protect Turkey. Then let Russia invade to take over Istanbul, rename it Constantinople and start killing all radical Muslims in the city.
Yeah I try figure that out why they still in NATO
I would not be comfortable going on liberty in Turkey. I can’t imagine why any non-muslim westerner would.
The only reason they were in NATO to begin with was their border with the USSR in the Transcaucasus area. When the USSR went out of business, and the Caucasus was split up into the smaller states, there was no longer a reason for Turkey to remain in NATO. Some would argue that there was no longer a justification for NATO, period.
Fear of the Soviet Union helped keep Turkey a secular state and aligned with the United States. The USSR is gone, the islamists have taken over, and now they don't need us. Apparently they don't like us either. We seem to be the only country in the world that doesn't realize it.
There were only 6 or 7 of them, and they conveniently had video of it...
This will be the same BS process that we go through in South Korea and the Philippines. A large, vocal segment of the population hates us so we pull out or threaten to. Then either (1) more sober minds realize how insane that is and how vulnerable they would be without Uncle Sam protecting them (Korea) and beg us to stay or (2) we actually do leave and the country, which was a Third World Hellhole to begin with, realizes how much they needed Uncle Sam’s $$$$ and wants us back (Philippines).
They are such nasty vile dirty people.
Isn’t the first time, and it won’t be the last.

If they didn’t say this was Turkey, I would have guessed it to be Dearborn Michigan or one of the many U.S. islamist strongholds.
Shun Turkey Now
I have first witnessed blatant Turkish anti-Americanism some 20 years ago. Was really surprised to see American flag flying upside down at every place like hotels and so on flying multiple flags.
Can’t find any logical explanation for such an attitude.
TURKEY IS NOW ISLAMIST AND IS NOT A FRIEND OF THE UNITED STATES.
TURKEY IS AN ACTIVE ENEMY OF THE UNITED STATES.
Not only are they in NATO, they’re also in the international F-35 Joint Strike Fighter consortium and privy to its highly classified technology.
The US spends Billions on turkey to keep it out of the stone age. When the money dries up....
We are rapidly approaching the day when Turkey becomes the next Syria. Sucks for them.
What? you mean they don’t like us? after all the money this country pours into turkey?
Could it be they’re a bunch of mentally slow throwbacks to the middle ages?
