    First, Turkey went against express wish of US not to purchase Russian S-400 and was kicked out of F-35 program. Now Turkey is unhappy at the delay to join EU so it apply to join BRICS instead which will surely sore relationship with US and NATO further.

  2. Sounds like a pointless way to make yourself easy to sanction while having no leverage or benefit.

    Turkey has been such a fucking thorn in NATO’s and the US’ side over the last decade. If it weren’t for its control over the Bosphorus I would advocate for it being removed from the alliance.

    now we finely have a path to triple entente vs triple alliance (pre-ww1)

  6. Hopefully something happens in Turkey sooner rather than later. They could do with some new leadership…

    Why is NATO even mentioned in the title… The NATO has nothing to do with BRICS or G7/G8 or EU.

    One is a military alliance, the other political and economical alliance.

    Not even mentioning the ‘Russia/Ukraine’ label, as if this has anything to do with that.

    They’re broke and desperate. The country has Poor leadership and a real identity crisis.

    Calling BRICS a G7 rival is more ridiculous fear mongering by the media.

    BRICS would never amount to anything. India and China would never trust each other. South Africa is collapsing. Russia current economy are fully supported by high military spending and would collapse when the spending stop. Brazil’s economy are also not doing well for last couple of year after the end of the commodity super cycle.

    It is a pipe dream that this group of country with mix matching development level and economy outlook would be able to setup a currency that replace the USD

    Erdodan’s reasoning isn’t wrong, but I don’t think Putin and Xi are down with open relationships.

  11. “Russias” rival G7, lol.

    BRICS belongs to China. Yes Russia has established political influence/manipulation, but that’s not going to last.

  12. They would be an EU member already if their government wasn’t so untrustworthy. This is an attempt at leverage, but I don’t know if you can lever the absolute shit deal of Russia against the EU offer. You want to side with Russia? Yeah…good luck with that.

    We can pretend that Turkey’s still in NATO, but they’re not. We can pretend that Hungary’s still in EU and NATO, but they’re not.

    Does that mean the EU has finally sees an end to Turkey’s constant try to bully it’s way into EU? Fantastic news! France, the UK, Italy, and Germany already have enough right-wing nationalist problems without adding Erdoğan and his ultra right, nationalistic authoritarian followers to the mix.

  15. It’s not Turkey as a whole but rather Erdogan.

    Seriously, dictators these days…

  16. Sounds to me like Turkey could be doing with a nice big gulp of regime-change. Such a pity what Erdogan has done to what was once a progressive and secular beacon in that part of the world. He’s taking them backwards.

    Sanction the ever living shit out of Turkey if this continues. I’m talking scorched earth.

    The West needs to stop playing games with these dipshit regimes.
