My expectation is that NATO’s days are numbered. Essentially, NATO serves as a protection racket spearheaded by the United States. With China emerging as the main rival for America, while their proxy conflict with Russia falters, Europe is destined to be discarded so that the US can redirect its focus towards Asia. Turkey, sensing an impending shift in global dynamics, is now diversifying its alliances.
Oh yeah, I don’t think anybody with a functioning brain thinks Turkey would ever get into the EU. At this point, it’s not even clear what the benefit would be either given that EU is imploding.
