Turkey back Sweden’s and Finland’s NATO bids. Now the question is what Sweden and Finland needed to do to be accepted by the terror country Turkey? It’s Turkey that shouldn’t be a member in NATO. :facepalm:

Take away Turkey & you take away 50% of Nato's actual armed forces.  (:GRE accounts for another 40%).

Turkey has the second biggest army in NATO. They have a bigger army than France & Germany combined. They are not going anywhere.

:TUR should always be a NATO member, their location is very important in any type of European and Middle Eastern conflict. 

 

And I think Turkey is more than capable of finding the "right way", they just have to realize eventually that Erdogan is an idiot. He comes off as the Mussolini of our times, a truly incompetent leader, he makes other authoritarian leaders like Orbán look good by comparison.

    • Can see it both ways.  Normally Curling Teams play as a Four and it is usually best to keep the same Four together.  BUT  won Gold with a team put together by the Federation, not as an organic four so.....     Also, the family thing, but curling is a village/small town sport, so everyone is always more or less related to each other, or neighbours, or friends from school etc etc.
