"and important enough as an ally to NATO and Europe"
I have to imagine at some point Europe will have had enough of Erdogan.
- tremon 10y agoEurope will have to tolerate Erdogan until it starts reinvesting in its own military. Especially with the UK out of the picture, mainland Europe has very little military capability.
- nwah1 10y agoThe UK may be out of the EU, but that hardly means they'll look on collective European security matters with disinterest.
- usrusr 10y agoEurope has been running a pretty sizable shared military investment programme, it's called Greece. One has to wonder how much of their crisis would be left without that NATO-internal arms race vs Turkey (and the cheering exporters in Germany and France who happily supplied both).
