Please part ways with NATO as well

Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits are too strategic for US, Turkey will always have huge baraining chip with them so it would be very impratical for them to leave NATO and lose that leverage.

It would be, if we could trust Turkey to actually honor it's alliance commitment, but it is equally likely at this time they'd just say 'nope, we're not participating in this war' and bugger off.

We don't need them to do anything. We just need their land as a forward base.

Okay, cool. So anyway, as I was saying…

I wish everyone would just pull the rug on Turkey already. They've been getting sweetheart treatment due to their geographical importance while pissing on everything they touch for decades. They're a full clown makeup country at this point. No one should take them seriously.

They got nukes and are close to us

He can part ways with the European Union. He's rich regardless. It's the people, as always, that will suffer.
