???


Nooooooooooooooooo!
Why?

Turkey is distancing itself from the EU.
Every Turk promoting introducing the Death Penalty is an advocate for not joining the EU.
Arresting journalists, mass firing of political enemies are also setting up barriers vs a membership.
 
Erdogan's Islamic fundamentalists.....


No to what ?

Leaving EU or remaining in the NATO ?
Remaining in NATO.

I meant remaining in NATO. Sorry I should have made it clearer.
 
IMHO opinion ,NATO doesn't want that,but the sultan is playing a dangerous hand right now.

Well, NATO as a military organaization should not think about political matter as long as the respective country is stable.
 
NATO without Turkey is going to be purely European, it's no rubbish. It is your reply which is rubbish for giving a few candies to the immigrants after spanking them in uncle Tom's cabin does not make these member states non-European.
This Yolo2016 is an Indian. Apparently ashamed of being an Indian. Don't fall for his BS.
 
It isn't. Turkey gave NATO a bit of legitimacy, whenever NATO forces have gone into Muslim nations, if Turkey leaves or is kicked out, NATO will be seen as a purely "white man's" club.

Sir, from the beginning of NATO it is a white mens club. They dont need to justify anything to anyone.

Wrong .It's a politico-military organisation which right now "sells" a message:" we bring democracy and respect for human rights" and you can't sell that message when one of your members is going full fascist or threathening other members.

Turkey has had four successful coups since it became a NATO member and none of them led to expulsion. Portugal and Greece were also dictatorships when they joined. The prospect of Islamism might be a good reason to doubt their membership but not authoritarianism.

This @yolo2016 most probably uses fair & lovely to whiten his/her skin to make her look like a Caucasian. The west uses these beings as canon fodders in their battles against Islam and Muslims. They are so proud to be at the service of their western allies(masters).

This is not the Cold War when you tolerate excesses because next door you have Soviet Russia.Greek military juntas were actually encouraged as they cracked down on commies.

You have a valid point but if NATO uses Turkey's Muslim identity as the reason it will put a stain on the west's image as the champion of freedom of religion, human rights and so many noble ideas. Since honesty is not one of the virtues of the west hypocrisy will prevail. Therefore, they will choose to be selective about authoritarianism(though Turkey is a functioning democracy compared to other Muslim states like BD or Egypt) and show it as the reason for expulsion from NATO, that is if NATO can afford to do it.
 
Turkey is the second biggest & powerful military in NATO and NATO won't try to loose turkey and for Turkey NATO is also very important.

Fair & Lovely usually works on brown people. He most probably uses this.

Turkey is fundamental to NATO. It protects its southern flank. In the next 50 years we will see massive changes in the Middle East it is unthinkable from European strategic perspective and security consideration that turkey is absent from NATO.

In any way one looks at it NATO needs turkey more than turkey needs NATO.

It is possible as sun sets over Pax Americana that it is turkey that will seek to reposition itself more towards Russia and Iran.

Turkey has carried NATO beyond what it gets from it in return. No one is about to let the largest military in Europe walk away from a military alliance.
 
...sad but true

All they can do is taunt us (Turkey/Turks) like''yeah go kiss Putins shoes''/''Turks are Islamic anyway''/''You support ISIS'' etc.

But if came to pass, theyd all be shitting their pants:lol:
