> because they get paid for it

promised to get paid for it. Yet to see a dime.

I haven't even thought about that. That may actually also be true and explains a lot why Erdogan is done with the EU.

EU and NATO have always been abusive partners to Turkey, that's why he's pulling out.

Actually calling them allies from Turkey's pov is outright a foolish thing to do, a better word would be "frenemies".
