    Turkey had the second largest NATO Army and was highly professional...they have now after the AKP/Erdogan putsch gone to zero effectiveness now inside NATO........

    Turkey's military 'is now a broken force' — and 'it will take years for it to heal'

    This is a given when you arrest over a third of the top Generals, sack all Division Commanders and arrest virtually all of the mid level officers ie LTCs and COLs.....his AF went to zero effectiveness in about 48 hours....

    AND this from Erdogan that wanted to become the "Sultan" of a "new Ottoman Empire" with Russia, Iran and Turkey...thinking he could get more money from the West if he stayed in NATO......

    One really has to relook the evidence that was mounting on the Turkish support to IS which has been also supported at the same time by Russia, Iran and Assad......
