I hate Erdogan, but not as much as Israel.
I wonder what would happen, if somehow Turkey grabbed him, held him in secret for their own court proceedings, what the US would do.
Obviously sanctions and prosecutions for sanction violations. Threats, grabbing their citizens for kangarooing in the courts. Kick them out of the f-35 program they never should've been brought in on in the first place, probably cut off all weapons shipments and even hit kill switches in any us planes they have.
But what else? The president is nety's bitch, he will stop at nothing to prevent nety from outing him on the blackmail.
Both Israel and turkey are bullshiting and won't attack each other directly. Israel will continue to attack the turkey backed government and militia and that's all
Oh for sure, Erdogan isn't grabbing Nety, I was just speaking hypothetically. I agree they will at most probably trade some barbs, mostly for domestic politics, and attack their proxies.
That would be fucking legendary though if Turkey grabbed his ass somewhere and tried and executed the sentence of their court in secret.
That's the thing though, these assholes all play off each other. netanyahu hamas erdogan, (and unfortunately many other world leaders) they all have the common interest of making more money when there's more war and military action. They can all act outraged but take the human emotions out of it and logically it's just actors in a game all incentivized to escalate violence. The ones losing out are the People on all sides who see their homes destroyed if they're lucky enough not to be killed.
Even when the personalities really hate each other, like when trump had maduro captured. Who succeeded maduro?? Literally his second-in-command. Did the Venezuelan constitution have any changes? Literally none. in fact, the new president, delcy rodriguez has been in government for 20 years since she was first appointed by hugo fucking chavez. We killed more fishermen than actual members of the maduro regime.
There we go with all side are bad bullshit. Israel is the only one committing genocide. Hamas is a resistance group that surely did act of Terrorism but so the allies during world war 2 that make Hamas look like a bunch of no name thugs
It's not all sides, it's the war mongers versus the rest of us, that's the two sides.
Hamas is not part of the war monger, they wouldn't even exists if palestine was not colonized. Was resistance against the French war mongering by Tunisians and Algerian war mongering for you too
That's why they attack all those weddings and dance parties, because those are military targets and not civilian targets designed to escalate the military situation.
You are acting like there was zero military target during October 7 and many resistance group comited war crimes and atrocities during Thier resistance. Was the allies during world war 2 war mongers?
Maybe, are the US not warmongers and have been for most of their existence?
But I'll go back to what you said earlier
Right, so their continued existence depends on a continued colonization
The USA was not the only members of the allies that targeted civilians during world war 2. Hamas is no different then any other resistance they did atrocities during their struggle to end colonization
Since we are in the topic of turkey too do you know that ever the Kurdish resistance did target civilians with your logic both turkey and the Kurdish resistance are both warmongers
