God is smiting Turkey for its intransigence in allowing Sweden and Fenland join NATO.

You'd think God would have smited Turkey for what they did to the Armenians.

God DID smite Turkey for the Armenian massacre. The Ottoman Empire fell soon afterward.

Timeline - the genocide began in 1915, when there were 2 million Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire, and the empire collapsed in 1923, when fewer than 400,000 Armenians remained.

Turkey became a military dictatorship in the wake of this collapse. And it still is a military dictatorship, now reverting to the bad old ways of the Ottoman Empire.

Their only virtue was that they were anti-Soviet allies of the western powers. And now that seems to be going away.
