Zaten ABD nin sömürgesi durumuna düşmüş ekonomik olarak yakın gelecekte çin ve abd tarafından yutulacak bir birliğin faydası tartışılır. İngilizler durumu erken farkettikleri için aynı sonla karşılaşmamak için kaçtılar zaten. İşin açıkçası AB ülkeleri içerisinde durumunu koruyabilecek tek ülke Fransa, geri kalanların mutlak çöküşten kurtulmak için ne yapmaları gerektiğini ciddi ciddi düşünmesi gerekiyor. Türkiyenin batan bir gemiye binmemesi taraftarıyım

aside its fine vacantion-destiny and friendly people about turkey-for me its fine if it remains just only a navo-bufferstate including maintaiming some borders to separate east from the west with erdogan,s turkey [as a blessing disguised as a curse from europe,s perspective actually i dare to say] in power and make the gap between europe and asia especially the middle-east more widening and the better for europe,s safety and security held in check from the explosive middle-eas and now europe have only to deal with invasive and agressive russiat!never can and should be turkey become a memberdstate of the eu,their is so much conflict between greece and turkey for decades even its frozen there is something about it with slighty more intension is recently increased and likewise with cyprus is exact the same bigger problem where turkey has occupied illegal the northern-part of cyprus for decades where as the greek-south part of cyprus belongs to the eu.turkey is culturally religiously ethnically not [western]european at all but more a softly but still middle-easternlike country people and even more close ties to turkic states their brother-nations in central-asia and azerbeidzjan with similar languages culture and religion including luckily more and more political-sense because turkic-nations are strong bufferstates to holding east separated from the west.let not pretent we share much ties even there is some political and historical sharedness including trade and close geographic proximity it was mostly dictated by animosity and rivaling differences between the oldwest or traditional christian-europe descendant from ancient greeks and romans,and asian turkic-power since the islamic-ottomans with old central-asian and persian martial-nomadic-origins have conquered anatolia centuries ago.ignoring this is very stupid and naievely mentality [reversed trojan-horse]influenced i guess by some leftist western post-modern desire to behave pretentious that we all actually just one globe with much in common in persuit of common goals and very matured wisely one united humanity despite of its incredible and fascinating diversity its have much of its things universal and in fact only be kindly or peacefull aside a few exceptions and woke but we not only like that,yet we are also very different in opinions and in tribes cultures subcultures religions desires politics etc,we often identified or belong within that more often then not are rivaling eachother wich truth is more true or better then the others with different values morals traditions ideas esthetics etc, that must too dominate the world!almost everywhere people are almost always nice but do not forget people have two sides in each of them,we can be nicest as welcoming and yet we can also be cruellest and hosile!its calling realism instead be idealistic and yes humanity is one race afterall thanks to modern-science we know it today for sure,but i still not ignore some existing and sometimes complicating differences in culture history etc,.

How the E.U. accepted Greek Cyprus into the E.U. without peace on the island and while they were rejecting the U.N. peace plan at the time, just show how one sided the E.U. is. Which is not a suprise, countries and organizations should look to their interests. My point is usually Turkey's, point of view, interest and motivation are usually left out of the discussion which just leads to famous double standards in relations, which has been the norm between E.U.- Turkey for a long time.
That's my point also imho I do not expect Turkey to join the E.U. anytime soon, even without the current President.
Ps. As we all know the true Cypriot is the Donkey's of the Island, the example above was to make a point and not about the people of Cyprus.

Eighty five million Turkish Muslims with free movement into the European Union? After so many terror attacks by Muslims on non Muslims in Europe along with the devastating and destructive Muslim riots in Paris and Marseilles, Turkish membership of the EU will not be welcomed by millions of ordinary, everyday European voters, to say the least.

Hungary and Poland are already causing problems and not respecting the values of the European Union. Turquia, in the situation it is in, does not have the slightest condition to join the bloc. There are several reasons. It's a pretty complicated issue.
@mentesIV
February 27, 2024 at 2:48 pm
No.
None of the requirements for Türkiye to become an EU member are met by any EU country except 7-8 EU countries. It is impossible not to laugh when the conditions mentioned in this video and the EU membership of Bulgaria, Romania and Southern Cyprus are put side by side! Türkiye cannot be a member of the EU because Europe is still a highly racist union with a WW2 mentality. So there is no "condition" that has not been fulfilled.
The majority of Türkiye is Muslim. It is IMPOSSIBLE for Türkiye to become a member of the EU unless it commits a Muslim genocide like Southern Cyprus did between 1950-1980!
The biggest obstacle for Türkiye and indeed Bosnia and Herzegovina to become an EU member until now was France (they don't like Muslims). In the future when the EU power center shifts from Germany to France, which is expected, it is impossible for Türkiye to become an EU member.
…
Also, this video then contains gross misinformation, Türkiye is not fighting the Kurds, it is fighting the PKK.
The flag of Kurdistan shown at the beginning of the video belongs to the autonomous state in northern Iraq and has nothing to do with Türkiye. Türkiye is Kurdistan's biggest trading partner.
@carnivaltym
February 27, 2024 at 2:48 pm
Turkey is NOT a European country, it never has been, at least since the fall of Constantinople in 1453. It should never even be considered for admission into the EU. Russia has a far more legitimate claim to being a European state than does Turkey and that's not happening any time soon either !
@willieckaslike
February 27, 2024 at 2:48 pm
Hopefully NOT ! Especially with "Butcher" ERDOGAN at the top. They have an terrible record of 'human rights', which is completely unacceptable. Besides, does the title UE stand for Union European, which should NOT include "Asia Minor" ! The rulers of this semi barbaric state, have already been gifted with billions of our TAX EUROS, plus FORD Motors being persuaded to shift the production of their TRANSIT from Southampton UK, thus putting UE MEMBERS out of work, for what ? The worthy citizens of UE will only put up with so much provocative behaviour before they turn against their Masters ! Something I pray will never happen.

Don't think many EU citizens are too happy to welcome large amounts of religious rural Muslim Turks. This would strengthen anti-EU sentiment even more than the current issues already do. Not to mention that Turkish geopolitical interests are a lot more likely to diverse or conflict with EU geopolitical interests compared to existing EU members. Plus that Europe needs decades to incorporate and stabilize the new Eastern European members (who were ravaged by communism), to deal with anti-EU criticisms, and to deal with a future Ukraine ascension (ravaged by communism and war).

Problem is that turkey is a fasist country like china and russia. You cant trust them. They dont keep their promises and try to abuse countries around them. Like this nato bit. I would say turkey is an enemy of free democratic countries at the moment.
