Obviously, Turkey is failing at fulfilling NATO membership criteria
They won’t, NATO would collapse without the Turkish Military. They are the second largest army in NATO and the only way to keep the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Check.
EU alone has 1.8 millions militaries, USA has 1.3 millions... Most of them professionals... Turkey is a draft army, well, you know, Ukraine has about 1 million drafted people today... And considering the leadership's behaviour... Just buying blood oil from ISIS should have been enough to be done with Erdogan and his mafia, if not considering that they lead a proxy war against us...
Largest army in nato is Turkey...nato would lose control if access to the middle east as well as the black sea.
Turkey knows how to play the game. These white fuckers need to wake up
There are many countries in partnership with NATO...
Once Turkey out, Kurdistan, including Rojava may reclaim independence and a NATO v.2.0 may have much faster sign-in process

BTW, you can't cross the Bosphorus without using Greek national waters too and, mark my words, just call the Germans and get some Bagger 293...
218,880 tonnes of soil moved per day means it won't take long...
