NATO is more and more an empty shell organization. The real question is: will other European nations side with Greece and help her militarily in case of an armed conflict? I’m particularly concerned with the position of France, which has one of the strongest EU military and possess an aircraft carrier. The political leaders have no balls however and they could realistically let Turkey invades part of Greece without moving a finger. The second issue is Germany position, which not only has historically been allied with Turkey, but also hosts a huge Turkish diaspora, and could political veto EU decisions.
