Yes. Thanks for the great graphics.

It makes no difference what they call themselves. (They love to argue about the difference in all the flavors and constantly tell you that you don’t understand the differences)

Totalitarianism in all forms is Evil!

Progressive
Socialist
Marxist
Fascist
Communist
Islamist
Bureaucrap

All Evil!

[Texas Fossil]

A very good question. I guess the answer is, they have been in NATO since 1952. Is that an adequate reason? No.

[Texas Fossil]

You are correct.

[Wuli]

Turkey - out of NATO.

[Texas Fossil]

We needed Turkey to help defeat the Soviet Union.

[Texas Fossil]

We need to start a poll!

Not sure we need a poll, but I agree with your observations. I am sure that Erdogan is in constant fear of that happening. Although his arrogance is terminal.

[Texas Fossil]

Is this Bernie's "Democratic Socialism" in action?

Yes. It is the ComDem way.

[Texas Fossil]

Why?

The Burn is a noisy old fraud. Who has never had a job in his life, except meddling in government.

[Texas Fossil]

We need the Rooskies to help defeat Iran.

I'm not sure it is essential, but it might help.

[Texas Fossil]

It will come.

How long do you think Putin will put up with Erdogan once Erdogan actually jumps?

My Syrian Kurd friends told me long ago that they felt Putin was playing with Erdogan.

It is like a cat playing with a mouse. Except we have provided some advanced weapons to the mouse.

[Maris Crane]

How did Erdogan get so many of his people to believe his nonsense? Does Venezuela look that good to the Turks?

[Texas Fossil]

Only the brainwashed believe Erdogan’s nonsense. Many in Turkey believe it, all the media is owned or censored by the Government.

But in the case of the English, they will do almost anything for money. As in continuing to sell arms to a terrorist nation, Turkey.
