A military alliance (such NATO) alone cannot prevent war between its members. The recent events(Trump threating to pull U.S. support or Turkey's behaviour) proves how fragile a such alliance is. I wouldn't be surprised to see Turkey leaving NATO and join an alliance with Russia.

If a member decides that the alliance doesn't serve its national interests anymore nothing can stop it from leaving and joining a different alliance.

The point of EU was to make european interests indistingusible from national interests. It seems it hit a brick wall on UK.



After Turkey shot their plane?


I think they already settled that.
