  “I'm calling out to the American ambassador here,” he said. “Get your filthy hands off Turkey. We know very well what you have done … how you have attempted to stir up Turkey,” Soylu added, reiterating his frequent attacks on Washington. >
  
  Fundamentalist rhetoric / virtue signaling, that's all it is.  Can't wait for Erdogan to lose his fucking election. >
  
  Do they even have other options? >
  
  Well US' Trump, Philippines' Duarte & Brazil's Bolsonaro were voted out recently, so there's an argument that populism/nationalism is declining.  Maybe. >

  Different countries, different situations. The democracy index is 7.85, 6.73 and 6.78 respectively for US, Philippines and Brazil, but only 4.35 for Turkey. Being a dictator does help to win "elections". >
  
  Lmao, "democracy index." >
  
  Thought the same thing. Don’t understand the downvotes. >
  
  It does not look good for Turkey's image around the world when government official rant like that. >
  
  This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 74%. (I'm a bot)

  Are you talking about F-35s that Turkey already paid for and played a major role in it's development? >
  
  major role lol >
  
  ok lols started.. the level of talk in this sub is just below zero. moron, Turkey was in the project from the start, accomplished his side, then what happened? lol? lol happened? >
  
  sure buddy. dream on. >
  
  read your manga and sleep >
  
  400 billion program is major - 1.5 billion investment is minor - turkey wouldn't even have gotten the fully unlocked f-35 version. dream on sir. >
  
  Well that's simply not true. What's important is Turkey did it's share AND FULLY PARTICIPATED IN THE PROGRAM,  would have gotten it's already paid F-35s in full capacity. >
  
  i am talking software not hardware - all export versions are software controlled in the US. >
  
  Ok you are repeating yourself, Turkey was both financially and technically was part of the program. Case closed. >
  
  As a Greek citizen I can't wait for these elections to end. >
  
  Yes… election season when the game is “who can prove they are the nastiest hardliner” is a dangerous time. >
  
  Is Turkey a friend of NATO ?
  I'm not sure >
  
  they are a member >
  
  They're a member alright. >
  
  The most member ever >
  
  The greatest, the biggest, the bestest and the most member. Donald T. >
  
  At this point I have to genuinely question whether or not turkey could even be counted on to honor the treaty >
  
  I would like for Turkey to get the fuck out of Syria and Cyprus. >
  
  Maybe we can trade them for Finnland and Sweden on Craigslist. >
  
  Dear Mr. Erdogan,
  Why don’t YOU get your filthy hands out of Syria, Rojava, and Sweden before you ask the US to do the same thing? (I’m still critical about US foreign policy, but still).
  Without love,
  an HDP supporter
  PS, just admit that Northern Cyprus is not a real country and leave already. >
  
  Errr, forgot Northern Cyprus. A place invaded and occupied by military force by a Nato member since 1973, that keeps being coyly ignored? >
  
  Don’t worry, I edited the open letter. >
  
  There’s a Pink Floyd song in there somewhere. >
  
  Welp, guess it's time for some democracy in Turkey! >
  
  Nato needs to loose some baggage. >
  
  Are elections in Turkey even fair? Isn't Erdogan just a dictator basically? >
  
  Would they all be embarrassing themselves like this if he was? >
  
  The US elected Trump, the UK elected Boris, Italy elected Meloni.
  You forget that the democratic will of the people can be the will of ignorant, short sighted xenophobes. >
  
  It can be, but I was wondering if Turkey has fallen beyond what the US/UK had done since Erdogan did a purge and changed a bunch of the constitution also (kinda like how Putin does in Russia).
  It could be he's popular, but would he just cheat if polling showed he was behind and the system will allow it?
  In the US thankfully we still had people with a little bit of integrity left that prevented Trump from doing it. >
  
  At this point Turkey is a member of Nato as much of us want a fifth  limb protruding from our forehead. >
  
  That fifth limb could hold my phone camera while I enjoy the concert. I’m just sayin’.       /s >
  
  Or help Russian oligarchs escape sanctions. >
  
  Wait till you find out about Thanksgiving Day dinner. >
  
  Settle down, Francis. >
  
  I love the Turkish people for their treatment of street cats but, just like America,  they have a right wing government probably supported by the minority of people except the majority when voting >
  
  Go search how they treat their women.
