Why is Turkey even in NATO still?

Turkey doesn’t share foreign policy goals with the other NATO countries, so it doesn’t make sense — for either us or them.

As for Scotland, this is what happens when you allow your country to be taken over by fanatical Muslims. Scotland may still have one last chance to pull back from the brink, but it’s not looking good. (Ireland is even worse, and England isn’t far behind.)

Turkey has been the cork in the bottle, between Europe and the Middle East, and pre-Erdogan allowed a two degrees of separation alliance between NATO/EU and Israel.

Now Greece resists the non-Greek replacement out of the 3rd world middle east hellholes, made possible by Erdogan. The EU doesn't publicly help Greece with this.

Erdogan has proved to be diplomatically and politically nimble, whatever else he has been, actually learning from earlier mistakes and the like. He's had time to do that because he's restructured the Turkish constitution and turned Turkey into a "durable majority" state (like California).

Whatever follows him will be worse, because there will be no impediment to absolute power.
