Why is Turkey a member of NATO? It should be clear the government does not support western values.

In WW2 Turkey was a staunch ally as well as being a secular country which is rare in the Mideast. They were admitted to NATO and were a good member until recently when Erdogan took over and began to build his caliphate. Unless things change soon we will have to kick Turkey out of NATO.

Agree...I believe we have some strategic assets planted there.

Turks are never to be trusted. Genocidal maniacs.

Servants of a violent false prophet.

Remember the Armenian genocide.

Remember the million Greeks of Asia Minor.

The Turks are a murdering “Midnight Express” Culture.

See the movie. It’s not a propaganda film.

The Turks will kill you.

A quick glance at a map would answer why Turkey was included in NATO to begin with. It controls egress from the Black Sea Into the Med and blocked USSR from overland access to the Mideast oil fields. Since the fall of the USSR these considerations are less important, but still Turkey has a strategic location as we found out in our invasion Iraq. With the death of Kemalism their future as a western partner is clearly on the bubble.
