Turkey Threatens NATO Alliance
This is surely a big event for The crumbling West Powers when you add On Brexit leaving The E.U, and Germany tries to fill the vacuum and buys 5G technology from China which they are deciding soon. Russian Gas is another clue that the alliance is fracturing.
Just look at NATO as it crumbles into dust. Spain Italy and Ireland are going to be in deep economic trouble however Poland is already to leave The EU anyway right now. The U.S. dollar will lose it's reserve currency status in the process also.

In a television interview this month, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said if the U.S. punishes Turkey for its purchase of a Russian air-defense system, then, ?if necessary, we may close Incirlik and Kureci,? installations where the U.S. keeps nuclear weapons and operates critical radar.
The only question is whether Europe will become the satellite of the U.S. or of China?

China, whose emergence as a global leader is displacing not the United States, but Europe. China is now the world?s largest exporter and, as the biggest producer of electric cars, it may soon overtake Germany to become the global leader in the automobile industry. America?s position as the world?s leading military, financial, and innovation power is not threatened for now. The U.S. withstood previous challenges from Germany and Japan in each of those areas, and very likely will resist China?s competitive threat, too. But Europe very likely will not.
In fact, we are witnessing a great reversal of roles between Europe and China compared to the 19th century. For China, the 1800s were the ?age of humiliation,? a period when it was infiltrated by the French, British, and German empires, as well as by Russia and the US. These foreign powers imposed humiliating trade treaties, subordinated and exploited China economically, and controlled it politically.
