I have to ask, yet again for the umpteenth time, whose bright idea was it to allow Turkey into NATO? This is not how "allies" act, and is once more an excellent example of how Turkey is no ally to ANY western power, regardless of their NATO membership.
The US should, if they have a single call left, make a statement that they were in the eastern med first during this current crisis, and any Turkish "live exercise" munitions hitting a US or Israeli asset will be considered an act of war rather than an "accident", and handle accordingly regardless of Turkey's lip service to NATO.
This is just a pissing contest between the US and Turkey, and Turkey is playing the part of the mouse that roared. When they attack an ally, that could cause a crisis in NATO that results in their expulsion from it, which is long overdue. They should never have been admitted to begin with. Just as Putin is trying to regain the USSR borders, Turkey has long been trying to resurrect the Ottoman Empire, which is bad news for Europe, particularly eastern Europe.
It made no sense to admit Turkey to NATO knowing that they will eventually attack NATO countries.
Looks like that day may have finally arrived.
