A NATO Without Turkey?

Jesus, when did the WSJ become that bad?  That is one pathetic article.

TBH it looks like the editor was owed a favour by a partisan hack, and they needed some copy urgently before a deadline.

What nerve, Tim. The only thing bad about Mexico is the people that live there. But at least they're a free people. Your people are slaves. Slaves to the Spanish and slaves to America.

At least you're a happy, ignorant slave though.


And your homeland? Your island is nothing more than a oversized refueling port and test range. Thats all it ever was, and all it will ever be.

Don't try to flout your English heritage. You haven't got enough white blood to save you.

I didn't realize we had pro- and anti-Turkish parties here.

Anti-Turkish = Europeans.
Pro-Turkish = Everybody else.

The Euros soooooo love to mask their xenophobia behind stuff like economic issues.

You'd have more credibility if you weren't so reflexively anti-European.

Stop hating the turks and the joos!

If the majority of Turks we got over here were not East Anatolian koran-thumping tribal goatherders we might do that.

And stop hating Jews and brown people not from India.

I love joos so much that I've even lived in Israel and I support Turkish entry into the EU.

The op-ed pages have always been a haven for hansmeisterian dreck.

Interesting how the article makes much of Western pressure to keep the military in their barracks as an apparent contibutor to Turkey's supposed drift from the West and its growing "illiberalism"(!)  Yet no mention is made of the steady barrage of insulting comments directed at the country from major leaders in Europe in connection with its moribund EU application.  That might have just a little bit to do with the current government's eastern turn.

I agree, let's blame Europe.

Aye, yet another case of telling somebody what to do and how to do it; and being surprised that it neither gets done nor your instructions being followed.

Much like US telling us to let them in?
