Turkey and NATO


Nod2003

Recommended Posts

Is it just me, or has Turkey been the problem child lately in NATO?  Does NATO have any tools to punish bad behavior of its members, short of outright expulsion?  Does each country get an equal vote in decision making, such as tiny little Iceland, which has almost no military or economy compared to the US or UK gets the same influence in decisions?

They are buying the S-400 missile system from the Russians.
This has led to tension with the US, on top of the already present accusations that the US is harboring enemies of the Turkish state, and the fact that they have the most imprisoned journalists of any NATO member state,

The missile system purchase has brought several threats from the US, that Turkey will be disallowed from buying F-35s.

Plus there is still the Cyprus situation straining relations with Greece, and the Kurd situation straining things with the US.   This kind of thing might not be new to NATO.  I am unsure if Franco in Spain might have done some dictatory things.
