Ukraine deserves to have NATO membership, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said, following talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that Russia said it was closely watching.

Zelensky spent this week visiting NATO countries, courting support ahead of a NATO summit in Lithuania next week where members are expected to reaffirm that Ukraine will eventually join.

“Without a doubt, Ukraine deserves to be in NATO,” Erdogan said.

Zelensky said he was “happy to hear” that Turkey supports Ukraine’s bid to join during a joint press conference.

Seems that Putin's "Special Military Operation" (LOL!) is failing even more spectacularly with his old buddy Erdogan even turning against him now.

Turkey’s Erdogan says Ukraine deserves NATO membership

Very tired of hearing foreign politicians and dictators announcing that this nation or that nation "deserves" military protection, paid for by me and other US taxpayers. Because that's all NATO is - an obsolete mechanism for US taxpayers to fund the defense of European nations who refuse to pay for their own defense.

Once Russia is out of the way, it’s time for Ottoman Empire 2.0.

Remember Turkey has their own little illegal occupation in Northern Cyprus.

“Erdogan is busy playing both sides against the middle.”

Yep. Erdogan’s plan is to get the West to fight itself into exhaustion and then step in as a new Ottoman Empire. With him as the sultan. He was quoted as saying, “Democracy is a bus you ride to the destination and then get off.”

I’m good with this as long as Ukraine takes Turkey’s spot.

View every country that is added to NATO as an open opportunity to have the major NATO players like USA played by the globalist war mongers, deep staters and false flaggers and involved in the next WWW3 etc.

After 22 years we need to be skeptical of actions of outsiders and events like Iraq, 9-11 etc.

Ukraine should join as soon as America leaves . It no longer serves any purpose for us and Europe can take care of itself

If his failed Muzzie shithole can be in NATO, why not a failed Nazi shithole?

Take up a collection and buy your best friend mass murderer a suit. 1 1/2 years of green t-shirts is getting to be old schtick if he really aspires to be a world class reptile.
