Time to give up on Turkey?
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-42863531

Maybe we keep a military alliance, but not in NATO. There are no other totalitarian states in NATO. Turkey seems to be heading down a dangerous path.

"...More than 300 people have been arrested in Turkey after posting messages online criticising the country's military offensive across the border in Syria.
The messages condemning the Turkish military operation to push a Kurdish militia out of Syria's northern region of Afrin were posted on social media.
The users were detained for spreading "terror propaganda", officials said.
Turkish authorities warned they would prosecute individuals opposing or criticising the Afrin offensive.
On Monday, Turkey's interior ministry said that a total of 311 people had been held for "spreading terrorist propaganda" since the operation began 10 days ago.
Detainees, it added, included politicians, journalists and activists.
'We will never abandon our homes'
How historical Afrin became a prize worth a war
It comes after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan condemned the Turkish Medical Association (TTB) over an anti-war message.
Mr Erdogan said that doctors from the medical association were "filth" and "terrorist lovers" after they had warned that Turkey's military operation could turn into a humanitarian tragedy...."

It's tough to consider Erdogan an ally. If Turkey ever triggered Article 5, there's no damn way I'd want to fight for them.
