i'll remind all of you closet white supremacists that, despite not having a nuclear deterrent, turkey is, in fact, widely acknowledged as the second most powerful part of the nato alliance - an alliance that includes france and the uk - and a serious standing army, in it's own right.

you've probably heard that california would be the sixth largest economy in the world.

well, outside of nato, turkey would be in the top 5 militaries.

this is a serious, well-equipped force. it's a very large force.

and, the idea that it would have any issues with what it's up against is a joke, if it were waging the war with any serious intent.
