During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Turkey maintained neutral stance but during the Israel-Palestine conflict, Turkey took the side of Palestine

Turkey also opposed Sweden's and Finland's decision to join NATO

It's not just the current Turkish regime as Turkish people have been voting for Erdogan since the last 23 years

The US wants to leave NATO because a war could break out between Israel and Turkey following a regime change in Iran. Since the US would always support Israel, remaining outside NATO would allow it to easily attack Turkey, however if Turkey is to leave then the US will not leave NATO at all, the US is more important for NATO than Turkey

I certainly did not want to underestimate Turkey simply because it is an Asian country or Muslim country. Bosnia is an European Muslim country, yet it maintained a neutral stance during the Israel-Palestine conflict and supported Ukraine during the Russian invasion. Demonstrating solidarity is fundamental to any alliance but the rise of Islamism and adoption of anti-Western narratives made it difficult for Turkey to do so

Ethnonationalism provides a strong sense of shared identity and social solidarity. When a state is organized around a common cultural identity, people feel a stronger connection to one another and be more willing to help one another, preserve shared traditions, institutions and historical memory. China, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea are examples of Ethnonationalist states

On the other hand, Civic Nationalism is based entirely on citizenship, whoever lives on this particular piece of land is considered a part of this nation. It was originally created for the New World territories because they wanted labour into the newly found territory but Britain is an Old World territory, it has natural diversity - English, Scottish, Welsh and Cornish people live here, there's no need to replicate USA-style artificial diversity here

I am not against immigration, I am against immigration from certain areas only. The West is Greco-Roman therefore a German, a Pole, a Hungarian, a Spaniard, a Frenchman or basically any other ethnic European will assimilate into British society due to shared Greco-Roman culture but expecting a person from Somalia, Ghana, India, Pakistan, Syria etc to assimilate into British society is a self-flagellatory move because immigrants from those regions live alongside communities of other immigrants. They never felt the need to assimilate into the new society. It is a situation where immigrants often clump together thereby eliminating the need for assimilation and when these clumps grow, communal tensions will increase, crime rates will increase, women will no longer be safe to travel alone, littering will be a norm and this country will have an irreversible damage

When affluent immigrants from Third World like Jameela Jamil who were born and raised in the UK harbour feelings of hatred and contempt towards this country, just imagine the thinking of an average poorer immigrant

We can overcome the "labour shortages" by promoting Natalism among the natives and can learn food recipes from immigrants if we love their food so much
