Turkey: A necessary ally in a troubled region The new U.S. president taking office in January 2017 will face daunting challenges to the international liberal order, ranging from a fragile European Union rocked by Great Britain's exit, to a Cold War-like rivalry with Russia and instability in the Middle East. A long-time member of NATO, Turkey stands at the front lines of many of these challenges, most dramatically in caring for nearly 3 million refugees from neighboring war-torn countries.

In today's U.S. defense policy debates, big land wars are out. Drones, cyber weapons, special forces, and space weapons are in. Accordingly, Pentagon budget cuts have honed in on the army and ground forces: this, after the long wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, seems like an appealing idea.
