He released refugees into europe, we should return the favor and release our top 1000 most dangerous criminals into ankara. Not a single shot needs to be fired to stop erdogan. All trump has to do is embrace that fire he had in 2016 and make erdogan legit think he's crazy enough to bring terror and misery to turkey through unconventional methods. See people like when there's a plan even if it's terrible, but the minute there's chaos and unpredictability then they get scared. Threatening sanctions against erdogan won't work. Threatening to take the craziest approach possible might. Erdogan wouldn't be invading syria right now if there was a chance America might actually use its weapons on his troops in a fire fight

Precisely. I was just reading about nationalism in modern europe today. That would probably be enough to stir the pot into the favor of those parties, and increase the power of those parties that are in power. Scary thought

Oh you mean that country that was arming jihadists and giving medical care to ISIS fighters? Yeah I think it's time that we kick them out of NATO, or even better we dissolve NATO because it's gotten to expansive and is entangled in too many conflicts.

As I said, I wonder if erdogan would still want to attack if we said something like, I don't know, "you shoot one of our people and we're gonna nuclear bomb your capital city with your ass in it." I have a feeling the turks aren't nationalistic and extreme enough to take the risk.

That moment when the kurds are somehow more dangerous than ISIS. Loben if you support Turkey and Turkey is supporting ISIS, you kinda support ISIS too. If you dont, I don't know why you would like turkey

NATO is pushing up against Russia and has also become entangled in a middle east conflict that pits US backed kurds against the Turkish sharia state. That's two too many

Turkey isn't a sharia state lmao. It's very, very secular.

I thought you didn't want to abandon the Kurds though? That's exactly what pulling NATO out or disbanding it would do. I as well also wish to shove European collective security down the shitter; I'm sure it would end well.

the obvious downside is they cost millions to deal with, create political tension, and they're hard to identify since they rarely carry ID.

Though Erdogan is trying his best to make it less secular, going against Ataturk while pretending to respect his legacy at the same time.
