[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1089152, member: 56232"] Erdogan and Turkey are far removed from the country in NATO in the Cold war. However, if you read my comment, I advocated for changing the rules on letting countries IN rather than kicking Turkey out and, if Turkey decide to leave as a result of them not being able veto Sweden and Finland joining then maybe they aren't the most reliable ally anyway? Turkish-Russian conflict goes all the way back to the Ottomans and Tsars but the current crop are far removed from those people, they are dictators looking to solidify their regimes. Dictators have a habit of turning on their allies as soon as it becomes politically expedient. How do you feel about having an ally who could turn their back on you as soon as it benefitted them?
