So I fell down a rabbit hole of reading about the Armenian and Greek genocides, and the population exchange of '23 and I think Turkey might not be so great y’all. I’ve always been a fan because cooked properly and with decent gravy it’s a beautiful holiday treat, but i think Turkey may be bad y’all.
For real, what’s up with Turkey, enlighten me please!
Anyone else remember a few years ago when Erdogan was in DC, and his security went and beat the shit out of anti Turkey protesters, in the fucking USA and Trump didn’t do jack shit about it?
You know how you can tell turkey is bad? They are a close US ally
if by ally you mean victims of 8 different CIA orchestrated succesful coups you’d be right.

remember that turkish nationalist bot on reddit that would go absolutely wild on thanksgiving
They’re very bad, today they are one of the foremost state sponsors of Islamic fundamentalist terrorism, which as usual goes completely unremarked upon in Western media. They are pretty much the only reason the war in Syria is still ongoing, are now projecting power into Libya to keep that war ongoing, and were also the backers of Azerbaijan in their recent war with Armenia.
