For now staying in NATO is the best option for Turkey.
If some "allies" act against our interest now, just imagine what they would do when we are not a part of NATO.
Personally i'm not a fan of NATO and it's bullsh!t aggressor politics but we benefit from it and we should aim for higher influence in this "alliance", without letting our guard down.
Use the VETO card smart for your own interests.
No, Argument completely invalid. I can understand Turks who believe that Turkey needs to wait till the defense industry has matured enough but with the interests and the benefit is crap- there are no shared interests between Turkey and the West and Turkey received the benefits by being surrounded by failed states

China wouldn't give a fak, they are the biggest capatalists in the historythe one who have money they will slide, why would Russia help us?
Exactly they would give a fck but they dont give a fck that NATO sees now China as a rising threat and they - I believe also dislike the fact that the euros are sending their naval forces into the chinese sea to support the americans there which are now focused on this area of the world. I never said that Russia is going to help us, I asked you what these westerner are going to do about the east med when we are going to leave NATO ? You didnt answer my question

So having a sovereign, independent policy of balance could be better for Turkey.
