Actually, it could, if it was Zelensky!

Or the Ayatollahs. Trudeau is not in their league, but he also sucks.

Isn’t Erdogan trying to take over part of Syria?

Sorry, but you’re talking out your a@@ and also trying to subvert this thread. Not interested. Crap on someone else’s thread.

Yup. He wants his very own proxy to commit mass murder for him.

Islamists = Evil.

Globalists = Evil.

Also Communists, Marxists, Socialists, and the like that inhabit the Democrat Party.

Protests erupted in Turkey calling for Erdogan’s resignation with a nation wide media blackout. Why isn’t the mainstream media covering this? pic.twitter.com/zN4XTk0a0B— Hadi (@HadiNasrallah) March 19, 2025

Lemme get this straight::

Moderate Muslims in Turkey are rising up against a more traditional-oriented Muslim in President Erdogan.

Yet Liberals/Leftists in Western Europe refuse to take action against the Islamic radicals who rape and kill citizens in their own countries? And crack down on Conservatives/Christians who point out the criminal threat from Islamic radicals???

What do you call someone who cancels elections, outlawsoppos8ng political parties, shuts-downs churches, conscripts the elderly for a war, and illogically keeps a war going even though he, and everyone else, knows there is no way he can win and thereby kills off 2 or 3 generation of Ukrainian men?

You call him Zelensky!

Sorry, not taking bait. This is not about Zelensky, or how mentioning Putin triggers your obsession. I could have mentioned Xi Jinpig, too.

Say whatever you want about Zelensky—elsewhere.

Not holding my breath, but hopefully this goes better than the failed 2016 coup.

Seems pretty hypocritical for the EU if they are complaining about him banning an opposition candidate, on the heels of the same thing happening in Romania with their blessing. Or are they supporting Erdogan?

Of course the EU is hypocritical. It’s who they are.

“ EU is actually stepping in.”

Erdogan has wanted to be accepted into the EU for a long time. It would be appropriate if they let him in for imprisoning a political opponent, as the EU member states drift into authoritarianism themselves.

JD Vance has them pegged.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Europe demands that the USA and NATO rush in to defend Erdogan.
