Pushing them into the arms of the Russians and militant islamists would do the trick. That's how we fixed Syria.They can't be fired from NATO, but is there a way we can maneuver them into quitting?

True enough, Syria was a bad example and poor choice. But kicking Turkey out of NATO or otherwise forcing their hand on new members (Sweden, Finland, Moldova, etc.) may have unintended consequences.They're obviously not on the same page. Why pretend otherwise?

I remember way back when, a camp counselor said of the Chrysler turbine car "you can pee in the tank and it'll go". Could the AGT-1500 could run on ordinary, run of the mill, hardware store type kerosene?One of the more bizarre excuses for not sending the Abrams to Ukraine was that they need "jet fuel" to run.
This is utter crap. Yes, the AGT-1500 will cheerfully run on jet fuel (Jet-A, Jet-A1, Jet-B, JP-4, JP-5, JP-8, and whatever), but it will also run nicely on road diesel, home heating oil or, for that matter, gasoline. Gas turbine engines are much less fussy about fuel than those engines that rely on pistons banging back and forth. Basically, if a truck diesel or tank diesel can burn it, so can the AGT-1500.
Ou est le pissoir?I should immediately to buy such Chrysler!
Leno is the only private owner - six others are in various museums and Chrysler has two.There is only one left in the world (I think). Jay Leno has it. See Jay Leno's Garage on YT.
Yes, any grade of Kerosene.Could the AGT-1500 could run on ordinary, run of the mill, hardware store type kerosene?
Funny how the obstructionist NATO states about aiding Ukraine seem to be the ones ruled by charter members of the Strongman Club, isn't it? Suppose they're feeling existential angst being surrounded by democracies and secretly sympathize with Uncle Vlad? "And so that government of the sheeple, by the right people, for the Supreme Leader, shall never vanish from this earth."Turkey isn't the only member whose actions are questionable with respect to the invasion of Ukraine. See, for example, Hungary blocking release of €500 million in EU military aid to Ukraine

A totally different engine, but we used to say about the Nimbus on a Wasp helicopter, that if you could pour it, and set fire to it, then the Nimbus would run on it.Yes, any grade of Kerosene.
Plus any type of diesel, various grades of jet fuel, gasoline and probably even moonshine...
Nothing new under the sun, really - the Ford Model T could run on just about anything that was flammable, due to it's engine's low compression ratio!A totally different engine, but we used to say about the Nimbus on a Wasp helicopter, that if you could pour it, and set fire to it, then the Nimbus would run on it.
Excellent article. Well worth a look. Thanks.
