      The ironic thing is that all we in Europe have done is wave a carrot in front of Turkey’s face saying “reform and join us” when the reality is once we admitted CY, there was no fucking way Turkey was getting in without giving back the land they stole (and by stole, I mean stole wholesale.)

      If the US does end up dropping out of NATO and Europe keeps it as a military alliance, they should think about kicking Turkey out. It’s held on for geopolitical reasons that only the US really cares about. It’s otherwise been a problem child for decades.
