@@attilaabonyi8879 My friend, if you are a slave to serve the interests of the USA, you are a good ally, but if you think about your own country's interests, you are an enemy and believe it. This is exactly the behavior we have seen from the Yankees for years. Hungary is a new member of NATO and you are safe in the middle of Europe. We have been members of NATO since 1952. We did not become members of NATO because we loved it so much. We had to because of the threat of Stalin after the Second World War. We can say that Turkey is a good person living in a bad neighborhood. Our neighbors are Syria, Iraq, Iran and Russia. ..Geography is destiny, what else can we do? When we become a little stronger economically and militarily, we will not stay in NATO anyway. Our eyes are on the east. BRICS is more advantageous for us.

[@attilaabonyi8879]

@@sarsaclmavigozludevatam22 it was you who voted on joining nato and besides brics is not exactly an "alliance" nor are they a viable option when you take a deeper look into how each member of brics is doing in terms of economy, internal matters and stability. All nations within brics despise eachother, China and Russia are a great example of it, they don't work together because they are "freinds", but because they don't like the U.S and it's influence...or their allies, it is a matter time before one of them backstabs the other. Speaking of geography, while we may be in the middle of europe and have multiple neighbours who are "buffer states" and do not wish to invade us we do have an enemy in the east, who, historicaly have not liked us at all (if ww1 and the 1956 revolution wasn't enough proof of that) and would probably like to use our nation as a buffer state just like the old days when the iron curtain was a reality.
