    Bargaining like a carpet seller. Really up to EU standards. We had it for 40 years with the UK, not going to try again with Turkey

    Here’s the problem, Russia is facing a very real possibility of falling apart. Turkey is in NATO for its strategic position with Russia.

    Ergo no Russia threat no real need for Turkey to be a member state in anything.

    Can we maybe end this farce by having the US sign a treaty with Sweden and telling Erdogan to go pound sand?

    Because if we’re gonna be real here for a moment, everyone besides the US is hardly relevant. They’re in the EU already, so who cares?
