Turkey readies to invade Syria

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Erdoğan should be aware of this. If it comes down to Israel or Turkiye, guess who NATO is going to back? NATO sees Turkiye how White Americans see Cubans. Yeah, they are mostly white, but they're not really like us. Israel on the other hand, a majority of them lived for the past 2,000 plus years in Europe. It's doubtful that many of them are even descendants of the Biblical Jews.

@Jokersswild If jt comes down between Turkey or Israel, IF and ONLY IF (IFF) we had to choose, we would back Turkey. Default. I don't care how big the pro-Israel lobby is, and I'm part of it. NATO matters more, and Turkey is in a strategic position Israel is not geography wise, and Israel is off in no man's land. Turkey just matters a whole lot more to NATO over the next 500 years.

@Dignaga Do you really think so? That’s an interesting perspective. Turkey is certainly more valuable than Israel, but within the US, we have neocons who I find hard to believe would ever turn their backs on Israel. The situation with the EU might be different.
