Turkey suffers from a chronic illusion of grandeur. A bubble inflated by symbolism, nationalism, and repetition.
Massive convoys for a football team eliminated without scoring a single goal. Endless boasting about NATO’s second-largest army - formidable against Kurdish guerrillas, invisible everywhere else.
A defence industry promoted as a revolution, yet Iranian missiles expose the gap between propaganda and power.
The rhetoric is imperial. The results are humiliating.
When a country has to remind the world every single day how strong and important it is, it’s usually because it isn’t.

Let's face it.
A handful of people are on a quest to plunder the entire earth (all lands from Ukraine and Palestine to the US) to build spaceships or safe havens while the rest of us burn. It's literally several thousand people against billions.
Either we take over their wealth +

Regardless of whether the Democrats win or lose, don’t forget that 1) this party encouraged men like Trump and Musk to monopolize wealth and created the conditions under which they could control the political system

US friends, you have a good opportunity to act against the binary system and vote a for the green. At least consider if you are not in a swing state... #KamalaHarris2024

I went to Belfast last year and did a tour with a former IRA insurgent. He said when he was 14, British soldiers shot up his apartment bloc killing someone he knew. He joined the IRA's youth wing after that, then joined the IRA when he was 18. He was vague but said
