      Well, you want to protect Turkey. I don't understand how the hell we're obligated to defend them when they've done NOTHING in their own backyard while we've blown trillions and lives.

        Yes, kick them out of NATA. Fine with me. They're worthless anyway.

        You appear to want the US to police the World as much as anyone else does. I don't. Complete waste of money, treasure, time, and effort.

            Frankly, end NATO. It's another waste of time and money. We spend more money on defending Europe then they do. Time for that to end.

              Lynah might be defense also (I thought energy sector out in Cali.), but I know Kepler has flat out stated that he does, joking about it a couple times while rooting for more missiles (or something) to be used in the Middle East.

                  This is correct. Lynah makes things that fly, fly. I make his things that fly make other things go boom.

                        I'm not saying it's necessarily a current need, just that I suspect that it was a perceived benefit at the time Turkey was admitted.
