But how is Ankara doing? I mean, I have heard that Turkey has done some shady business in the ME

EU elites want Turkey to join their club so the will of the people does not matter.

Why are you asking this? Did Erdogan's opponent for the '23 election say he wants Turkey to join EU?

Remember for migrant crisis when Hungary stopped migrants because they had to protect the Schengen Borders as required by their laws. Brussels is against its own laws, which they had been rewriting by leftist extremists.

How can you equate being in a group for a common cause with the Soviet Union? EU is not obligatory, but it has a lot of benefits thanks to its legislation and free trade.

Of course I am a bit sceptic, because such a big country can have also negative effects on EU, but as I wrote some recent EU countries were more questionable as to the administrative capabilities before joining the EU. Everyone were infatuated after the collapse of CCCP and common sense was somehow lost for a while. Someone even believed that Russia will join Nato and everyone would be as hilarious family members smiling decades

. Instead of this weird history we know the Turkey.

This is a scenario that will never materialize and it's understandable to anyone with an ounce of knowledge of history and geopolitics.

Turkey in the EU = re-unification of the epicenter of the Intermediate Region, the one that the West has been tirelessly trying to break apart since the 4th Crusade.

Also as EU member Turkey could never ever get rid of the refugees no matter the will of government/people.

No offense but youre one of the dumbest user here. Brussels is working like a new neomarxist Soviet (European) Union.

Oh, I see your point. How does Turkey's geographical location impact its concentration of corruption? Like, I have never been to Turkey, but do you see my point if you go closer to the "chaos" (of the ME) outsiders will get the impression that things are less stable?
