I did not miss the point.
I contravened your statement that Turkey has few useful strengths.
Second largest military in NATO may mean jack squat to you, but it quite significant to a rational decision maker. So are the other many important and unique factors that Turkey brings.
Having spent time in Turkey, or speaking some Turkish is irrelevant to justifying a policy that is clearly driven more by emotional pique than sober analysis.
No offense, but your comment sounds much like the pogues at the puzzle palace who spent a week attending cocktail parties in Istanbul and magically became experts on the entire country.
