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.

As I said, if Russia falls, Turkey rises.

History teaches us, that one baddie always replaces another.

Speaking for God, are you? Deciding why things happen?

Careful with that.

I’m with Cat Herd and fidelis on this one.

Prayers up for the affected region and for the vast number of people mourning, those injured and those who have lost everything. Prayers for the Lord’s mercy for all who are shattered by this devastating event. 🙏
