"Let the EU and NATO deal with their own southern flank defense problems. After all,God-damned right. The first thing Turkey should do is cut it's military budget by 50 percent and reallocate the money for desperately needed social spending. I was surprised to read somewhere today that Turkey has the second largest military in NATO next to the USA. Unbelievable.
not only is most of Turkey not in Europe, none of it is even remotely
near the North Atlantic Ocean."
