Thanks. I will have to learn a bit more about that myself. Despite being a history buff, and knowing a little about the Battle of Gallipoli in WWI, I haven’t been enticed to read up on the Cold War era, even though I was a kid at the time. Perhaps now is the time, because of what’s going on as I write.
Turkey is still useful as an ally due to the Dardanelles Strait and the War in Ukraine. So I guess it's the wrong time to kick them out of NATO. But after the war, we'll probably kick them out. Our interests do not align that much anymore.
