“Erdogan was threatening to pull Turkey out of NATO...”

That’s one of those “threats” that everyone hopes they actually make good on.

If Turkey pulls out of NATO then they will align with Russia, closing off the Bosporus Strait to NATO, a huge disadvantage if we go against Russia.

Yeah, under Erdogan Turkey has pretty much outlived its usefulness to NATO and the West.

However, there are elections on the horizon and Erdogan isn’t doing so well domestically.
