#8 Well, then why doesn't the US and others who oppose Turkey leave There is legal precedent for this under the "I Wouldn't Want To Belong To Any Club That Would Have Me As A Member" doctrine. |

#7 I think it's between 20 and 30 years ago. There was a very, very good reason to keep it until the Soviet Union completed its dissolution,even if they weren't as large a threat as people thought. But by Clinton's second term, we should have gotten out of there. |

#2 This is bullshit. America can just leave it and it's dead. Good luck having a EUTO. You can form military alliances as and when conflicts arise. No sense in paying for the military posturing of nations opposed to your policies all the damn time. |

#1 Well, then why doesn't the US and others who oppose Turkey leaven and let it keep whoever is faithless enough to stay? Which would probably be nobody considering that the Nordic countries want to stay allies with the US and Germany would prefer to pretend it doesn't have a military (and France isn't a member). |
