Bipartisan bill tells State Dept to see Turkey as part of Middle East, not Europe
"Turkey is at a crossroads, but Erdoğan has made his choice," said Rep. Brad Schneider. "His government harbors Hamas operatives, props up Putin’s war machine and obstructs NATO unity."

Don't worry about those morons, they are just huffing and puffing for the lobbies paying them. The reason Turkey is under USEUCOM and not CENTCOM is b/c of NATO and b/c of the Soviet Union and Russia.

What matter is that Europe becomes increasingly anti-American thanks to Trump.
Can the US switch off Europe’s weapons?
Such is the concern that debate has turned to whether the US maintains secret so-called kill switches that would immobilise aircraft and weapons systems. While never proven, Richard Aboulafia, managing director at consultancy AeroDynamic Advisory, said: “If you postulate the existence of something that can be done with a little bit of software code, it exists.”
In practice, it may not even matter because of how already reliant advanced combat aircraft and other sophisticated weapons — such as anti-missile systems, advanced drones and early warning aircraft — are on US spare parts and software updates.
“It is not as simple as a kill switch,” said Justin Bronk, senior research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute (Rusi). “Most European militaries depend heavily on the US for communications support, for electronic warfare support, and for ammunition resupply in any serious conflict.”

Turkey cautiously optimistic about Syria’s deal with the Kurds
Agreement appears to fulfil some key Turkish demands but Ankara will remain vigilant about how the SDF dissolves
www.middleeasteye.net
The main thing that needs to happen is that the US needs to leave and the Daesh camps at Al hawl are dissolved, Deash prisoners are transported out of PKK territory and moved elsewhere, so they cannot be used as leverage and blackmail, after which I think most things will fall into line.

I wanted to ask you guys. Do Turks really want to get in the EU? Not the government. The people.

Everybody knows that Turkey cannot enter the EU. We don't go where we are not wanted. If we could, 99% of the Turkish people would want to join the EU. Even a shengen visa just for traveling is enough for us
