- ericmay 4y agoThey'd definitely be kicked out at this point if push came to shove. No doubt about that. There's no value in a member who doesn't cooperate. Both Finland and Sweden are very much aligned with the rest of NATO and if member states object to them joining you basically set the precedent that one member state (that's not the US/UK) can hold the group hostage. There's no way that would be tolerated, regardless of the strategic importance of Turkey. To your point, they won't say no anyway. All the speculation is, I think, just circus.

- mcv 4y agoI really don't think so. Turkey is in a very strategic location. Turkey has leverage and a very good chance of getting the concessions they want. Which is sad, because I care about the Kurds, and they seemed to be one of the few good, humane groups in Syria.
- ericmay 4y agoYea I mean you’re free to disagree or course and we won’t really know for sure until something like this gets tested, but I’ve stated my opinion on the matter and don’t have much else to add.
- macintux 4y agoSeems like they're long overdue for a true Kurdistan, and Trump selling them out enraged me.
- mcv 4y agoMe too. And I fear that NATO/EU will be forced to sell them out again now.
- jessaustin 4y agoAlso Turkey has the best attack drones now. They beat previous-generation Russian equipment in Nagorno-Karabakh, now they're pretty effective against current Russian equipment in Ukraine. USA and our vassals don't want any of that medicine.
