Other EU members. Duh, I am European. Don't let the flag fool you, that's just out of respect.

Am I missing somthing here? The Turkish government is not making any threats...they are warning of a possible escalation in violence from other groups that are out of their control. BFD.

I think the EU should let Turkey in as well. Why does it have to be either/or with the Ukraine? Why cant they both join?

In Germany, leader of the Christian Social Union Edmund Stoiber told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung that his party in government would do what it takes to prevent Turkey from becoming a full member of the EU.
Why?? What is the big deal??

Those people are so petty...

We dont really know that, since you refuse to tell us which country you are from. I am still betting it is France though.

In which case I dont blame you for using the PRC flag in place of your own...it saves you a lot of embarrassment, heh heh

Default I think the Turkish government is making empty threats here

referencing unnamed terrorists and promising a threat of violence if they don't get admission into the EU.

Personally, I don't care who is admitted to the EU, I just find it humorous in a sad little way.

That is the essence of it all. Turkey has a border with Iraq of all things. Also a border with a real serious terrorist state - Syria.

One way into the EU was to become part NATO. Way back during the cold war years, and maybe even before the EU was a concept we needed Turkey as a buffer between the USSR and the Middle East so that the Soviets would not gobble up Turkey and the Middle EAST (sorry can't resist) so we made them part of NATO. Now it's payback time.

According to you, so is the US. When do we get to join the EU?

Not that they would ever let us...it would be one more thing we would dominate. The only way they could compete is by denying us membership in the first place, heh heh

I dont really care personally. They are already a part of NATO.

According to reality, so is the US. If you've found some support for your continued silliness of most of America being otherwise, let me know.

Quote:

We're already part of such an institution, the United States of America. The bodies are both primarily European, split by geography.
