Gonna be honest, of all the countries in NATO, Turkey absolutely should stay in; Israel has its eye on Turkey and quite frankly even though NATO may very well choose to just let Turkey get attacked, it’s better to err on the side of caution
I hate NATO, but I also recognize Israel is a rabid dog and Turkey should get any security assurances it can find
Just like the US military isn’t a military but a colonial police force that’s not really a great colonial police force because its primary purpose is to buy shit from the military industrial complex, NATO is less of an alliance and more of a formal integration into the slash respected European junior partner sphere. If the makes sense. My point is, the NATO ‘security infrastructure’ probably wouldn’t protect Türkiye, the guys who threaten to invoke article 5 more than anyone else. It’s fundamentally a US project (article 5 was only ever actually used after 9/11 ofc) and will protect Israel more given the special relationship.
Yeah Turkey stomps Israel in any serious war, especially with all the damage and expenditure Israel has already took from fighting Iran. Worst thing Turkey would have to worry about is the US kill switching their equipment which is why they have been seeking out alternatives to things like the Patriot system.

Turkey would probably win that fight tbh.
Israel isn’t used to fighting peer powers. Iran spanked them and they had to use the U.S. to get rid of Iraq and Libya. Turkey isn’t a pushover.
