    You could.

    You’ll be choked to death financially shortly thereafter, but you could do that singularly stupid thing.

      A large part of Turkey’s economy and value right now is that they are being a middle man between Putin and his problems.

      That being said, if he gives that up…

      Putin is not going to have a middle man between himself and the next Prygozhin.

      The only value he will have will be that which Russia ascribes to it temporarily.

    What does “part ways” even mean? They aren’t in the EU and the only claim they have to being on the European continent , is some land they illegally acquired in a very similar fashion to Russia in Ukraine. Is he going to use “immigrants (actually refugees) as weapons” and “open floodgates” to let them into the EU? Provide Russia with more weapons? What?

    Well isn’t Turkey in EU because the EU wanted more control in the Black Sea and with Ukraine joining after this war the EU won’t need Turkey and will stop putting up with its B.S.
