  1. Erdogan is behaving like the Chinese government and wanting to suppress human rights not just in his own country but also in other countries as well when people protest against his government. It's clear that Turkey and Hungary are led by demagogues with little respect for full democracy or human rights and shouldn't be in NATO and that their memberships in NATO amount to marriages of convenience and that Sweden belongs in NATO far more than they do. And I'm not convinced at all that even as marriages of convenience it benefits NATO to have Turkey and Hungary because the time NATO most matters is in a major crisis and I feel no certainty that in a major crisis Hungary and Turkey would be there to support other NATO members. If Russia invaded Poland or Finland or the Baltic states would Hungary and Turkey unequivocally condemn such an invasion and take military and other action to help their NATO ally fight off the attack or would they would act indifferently? I think that NATO countries other than Turkey and NATO need to give serious consideration to signing an agreement to all leave NATO and immediately join a new similar organization which has higher standards for human rights and which would not let a single loose cannon member from vetoing the entry of a new member and would allow NATO to expel a member that no longer lived up to the standards of NATO and has become a loose cannon. A much bigger problem would be if an American MAGA political leader became president again and tried to take the United States out of NATO or just tried to disrupt NATO because of the MAGA affection for demagogues such as Putin. Erdogan and Turkey are a significant problem for NATO but the election of another MAGA American president would be an utter disaster for NATO and for the security of all of Europe.
