“Can Turkey be Expelled from NATO?”
https://www.justsecurity.org/66574/can-turkey-be-expelled-from-nato/
That’s from 2019. As it is, NATO currently does not have a procedure to expel a member state.

Easy. All the other countries leave NATO and join SCHNATO, but don’t let Turkey join. SCHNATO has all the same characteristics of NATO except the Turks and maybe the Hungarians aren’t allowed to join. Finit.

Might also allow Russia to declare victory saying they destroyed NATO!

Prediction: Sweden and Finland will end their sanctions on Turkey, Turkey will end its objections, and SE and FI join NATO.

Please elaborate. I was not aware that these countries had sanctions against Turkey.
Or, send me a google link if you're feeling lazy, of course.

In this regard, the Turkish authoritarian and kleptocrat seems to resemble no one more than former Illinois governor and convicted felon Rod Blagojevich who, when he found out he could appoint Barack Obama's successor to the U.S. Senate, famously said, “I've got this thing and it's f---ing golden. I'm not just giving it up for f---ing nothing.”

LOL.
Illinois, where our governors not only issue license plates, they actually fucking make them.
I worked with a nurse who went to school with Blago: "He was a punk then, and he's a punk now."
Sorry for the diversion...continue.

I think Putin has at least twenty-seven 8 x 10 coloured glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one one explaining what Erdogan is doing on that frame.
Cultural reference of the day.
