Guerre intorno a Türkiye negli ultimi 35 anni

Türkiye Cumhuriyeti hiç bir şekilde, hiç bir savaşa girmemeli, ancak her an savaşa girebilecekmiş gibi hazır olmalıdır.

the reason turkey could avoid full-out wars is due to having a powerful army. we also had a somewhat functional democracy, and alongside with atatürk’s heritage of peaceful approach to foreign relations, we always stayed level-headed and didnt attempt dangerous adventures like iraq or israel did.

those who make infantile criticisms towards democracy have no idea how much it protected us from receiving or delivering inhuman destruction. democracy is not a luxury of the elites or some sort of “soft mens” system – it means a country is functional and remains within rational boundaries of reality. anything else in this day and age is fantasy.

the ghost of the empire is haunting its grandchildren.

not in the melancholy sense of a lost glory, but as a ghost of unresolved flows, deterritorialized violence, and imperial desire encoded into bodies and borders.

I would count the Transnistria War and the bombing of Belgrade too

Fck israel. Half of this shit was started by Israel
