Can anyone explain to me? It's the same bunch of politicians anyway. Erdogan just won the elections and he controls the immigrant routes. Last thing EU needs is another immigrant problem in the middle of the war of Ukraine. If Republicans win the next Presidental elections they could pull off the NATO support from Ukraine as "too expensive" for domestic economy. Guess what happens if that proves to be the case?
