For about six weeks, there's been this chatter from inside of Turkey....the idea of them leaving NATO. It's mostly a political 'jab' and by a couple of the national folks. Erdogan himself....has not uttered this idea.
So I'll offer three observations:
1. Other than attending NATO meetings and getting some military infrastructure money....there's no plus-up for Turkey being today in NATO.
2. If you looked over dynamics presently, it's more likely that Turkey will get more 'friendship' (deals) via Russia over the next decade....than from Europe itself.
3. Leaving NATO brings up the US military structure in Turkey and how it'd remain or go. Some people would say the US would be better off.....some suggest it's a necessity to remain in Turkey.
My gut-feeling....lot of talk but nothing happening, while Erdogan runs things.
