Something about needing to blackmail your allies in order to agree on something that benefits the whole alliance just doesn‘t sit right. Turkey has shown that it really isn’t to be trusted.

If America did it, it would be an "agreement". Why is it blackmail when Turkiye does it?

Brainwashing, exposure to a single bigoted narrative their whole lives, ignorance and hypocrisy. Europe has a proud history of cryptoracism. The real question is why are Europeans so obsessed with ethnicity? Brainwashing, exposure to a single bigoted narrative their whole lives, ignorance and hypocrisy... ad nauseum. Nationalism (and other emotional manipulations) to drive economy is a global blight.
