Erdogan wants to reconstruct the Ottoman Empire with Germany. Turkey controls the Bosporus and the flow of goods to and from Russia. Without threat from the US Turkey would be attacking Israel.

West of the Atlantic. East of the ICW.
Turkey is of value for this one reason:

NATO should be dissolved

Nazi Germany was the natural result of the Soviet communist threat to Western Europe. The problem was that none of the European leaders was willing to voluntarily cede power to a coalition necessary to stop the Russian bear from gobbling them up like it did in Eastern Europe.

What do you propose for countering the same threat today? Another Hitler?

Once again, not a threat to us

Do I need to remind you who attacked us in WWII?

We should have never been involved in WWI either
Those two wars propelled us into our position as the wealthiest and most powerful country in the world.

At what cost?

Also, if our homeland manufacturing would have been destroyed like the rest of the world, we would have not had that golden age in the late 20th Century

The fact we had no competition for decades is what really solidified everything

The US built a MASSIVE factory production capacity in order to win WWII. Our ally the Soviet Union did the same on a smaller scale. US production was powered by freedom, and the Soviet production was powered by force. Freedom prevailed, and we won the peace while force lost out and the Soviets failed.

The US and our allies gave the territories we conquered back to their people. That's unprecedented in human history. Against everyone besides the Soviet Union the US won the ensuing production war by converting our minds and hands to produce things people wanted.

Now we want to be supported by Uncle Sugar, sit around on our asses eating snicker doodles and watching mindless cr@p on foreign TVs and computers.
