Turkey won’t help any country inside NATO, rightfully so, least countries like Norway that on purpose try to sabotage Turkey’s military and NATO’s southern front line.
You can put Sweden and Denmark on that list too who will cry for help the second the bear comes.
NATO is dead, Macron was right but for the wrong reasons.
Macron is mad he can’t use NATO for his own interests.
So he calls it dead.
But in reality NATO is dead because the majority of its members are more concerned with sabotaging and attacking one of their own members(Turkey) instead of acting and containing Russia, the main reason for NATO’s existence in the first place.
And again NATO let Ukraine down, as will it leave Eastern Europe down when the time comes.
But leaving NATO right now is a fools errand. The second you leave, Greek border becomes NATO border, Greek waters become NATO waters, Greek demands become NATO demands.
This way NATO can’t do anything serious against Turkey, at least if it wants to continue existing after the fallout after such actions.
Turkey needs at least another 10-15 years maybe if you want to be safe another 20 years before it can disconnect itself from NATO.
It will come in time.
But maybe NATO will crumble from within and cease to exist before any of it can even happen.
It wouldn’t be impossible.
Nevertheless Turkey needs to draw up plans already for when that time finally comes.
Maybe the concept of our own little alliance with allied countries.
Restoring and improving relations with important neighbors.
Things like that will be important once you take that jump.
Correct statement, we need 10 to 20 years more of domestic development. At that point we will be a nation of over 100 million and if we can join with Azerbaijan we will be a nation of 120 million and we will have military might to go it alone.
So Turkey plays the game, its puts up with what it has to do and does what it can when it can. But we must also beaware the enemies of Turkey also see where Turkey is heading, they will become more aggressive, hedge their rivalries against them.
Ataturk salvaged us a nation and we were 10 million big. A 10 million Turkey that couldnt produce shit survived the second world war and outlived the cold war. We are on the verge of entering a period where all the enemies are going to get a taste.
10 to 20 years more, after that its time to get slapping ass.
The only way we lose is poor political leadership where under AK party unfortunately we have had plenty.
Its worth pointing out that the america, europe and russia wanted armenia to win the recent Karabagh. Despite what they wanted Azerbaijan won. In Libya they wanted Haftar to win, instead Turkey alone turned the tide. In Syria we had Russia, America, Europe and all the muslim middle eastern lackeys threatening Turkey not to enter, we entered 4 times.
Lets not underestimate Turkish balls, our ancestors at time had it thousands times worse, they still rose to great power status. All of these attacks against the Turkish people is waking the Turk up, many are seeing the real picture and are starting to behave accordingly.
