Wait . . what? It's NOT Britain and France? It's Turkey trolling Greece? Two entirely different NATO members? Well . . . this changes everything. Nobody cares what bull$hit nations like Turkey say, right?
Actually, we SHOULD care. Turkey is a pariah among NATO members. Both Turkey and Greece were admitted to NATO 70 years ago, and have been bitch-slapping each other ever since. Turkey, you may recall, has been upping the ante recently by purchasing Russian weapons (good luck – they aren't working against Ukraine). WTF, though!!! How can you be a member of a defense pact whose STATED MISSION is deterrence of Russia, and be paying Putin billions for weapons incompatible with other NATO members?
I put this squarely on 'President Tayyip Erdogan”, who has been some combination of prime minister and/or president of Turkey since 2003. He not only fully embraces Russia, he's trying to implement an Islamic state (complete with scarf police); wipe out the Kurds. Boost Palestinian terrorists. Abduction and assassination attempts on Turkish expats living in the USA. And now . .. threatening a first strike against Greece?
Everyone wants to go to Greece at some point. Athens. The Parthenon. Those idyllic Mediterranean islands. Few rational people have a second honeymoon in Istanbul on their bucket list.
President Erdogan's stated reason for building ICBMs capable of reaching Athens? The Greek government “has too many troops in areas close to the Turkish border”. Yep – he actually said that. Remember, we're talking two NATO nations here. And countries about the size of Ohio.
Personally, I don't see either of them being worth much in the event NATO ever has to go into combat. In fact, Turkish leaks of confidential NATO documents are probably the reason why Putin “knew” that NATO would not defend Ukraine.
Kick Turkey out of NATO, President Biden. Don't convene a committee . . . you ARE the committee. Stop dicking around with WNBA basketball players and Musk-snarking. Turkey is a dictatorship and adds zero value to NATO.
Go see the film “Midnight Express” in case you missed it the first time around. These are our effing ALLIES? Get real . . .
