someone brought up the idea in turkey of a referendum on staying in nato. although this is unlikely to happen it did raise some questions -- what would happen to Turkey if it were not in nato?

Well, the country would turn away from the west in favor of deeper integration into the global south. The question is how exactly. Closer ties to Russia? That puts a big, black-sea shaped question mark up in the air. Would Turkey try to reassert itself as a global power, possibly a leader of a new allied block of Middle Eastern/Central Asian countries? It should be prepared to incur the full animosity of the alliance it just left.

quote:

The news that Saudi Arabia will allow its first alcohol shop has citizens and foreigners alike mulling one question: is this a minor policy tweak, or a major upheaval?

Sources familiar with preparations for the store disclosed details of the plan on Wednesday, as a document circulated indicating just how carefully leaders of the teetotal Gulf kingdom will manage its operations.

Located in the capital’s Diplomatic Quarter, the store will be accessible only to non-Muslim diplomats, meaning that for the vast majority of Saudi Arabia’s 32 million people, nothing will change for now.
