    I mean, it does look like a sensible option. BRICS countries are growing in number and their combined wealth is nothing to sneeze at.

    Turkey was never really allowed to be a part of EU and therefore will join the cool new club while the rest of Europe grows in far right rhetoric, and generally anti islamic sentiment.

      I dunno. It may have been on the table at one point had they continued to work towards improving infrastructure and combating corruption. But once Erdogan turned autocrat, that door was closed.

    Lucky them. It’s going to drag the rest of us down. The EU is finished. “To be a friend to America…”

    Turkey won’t be missed, but also Europe’s economy is collapsing so this is a win-win imo
