*”Overall, the absence of a suspension and expulsion mechanism in the North Atlantic Treaty does not prevent the North Atlantic Council from suspending or terminating the membership of an ally found to be in material breach of the treaty. However, with the 70th anniversary of the treaty just past, this is a sorry position for the Council to be in by any measure. Suspending, let alone terminating, a nation’s membership of NATO would be an extreme measure to be contemplated only once other attempts to restore unity and respect for the Alliance’s founding principles have been exhausted.”*
From NATO’s terms:
>They are determined to safeguard the freedom, common heritage andcivilization of their peoples, founded on the principles of democracy,individual liberty and the rule of law. They seek to promote stabilityand well-being in the North Atlantic area.
Of course it can. But turkey has a too good geopolitical location.
I think that we are going to buy Erdogans approval like always…Just depends on what he wants now.
You’re welcome to. Our army has been trained in the rough terrains, actively gaining combat experience for decades thanks to guerrillas and if we manage to get our country back from the watermelon seller I’m certain things will only get better. Now that Russia is weakened we only need to root American influence out from our sphere. I think we’ll stick around until then and leave.
Nah, we don’t want to lose the Black Sea bottle neck because they are having a spat with Sweden.
And everyone can at least admit that Turkey does have a point when it comes to Swedish adventurism in the middle east. Sweden must remember that Turkey is an ally and they need to be more low key when it comes to the Kurds and other groups on Turkey’s enemies list.
