Your daily reminder that Erdoğan is an islamist autocrat and his regime has the largest number of imprisoned journalists in the world.
(Hey, if I’m to be called “a terrorist” by these people and barred from visiting the country I was born in for speaking out against him publicly, I might as well continue to do my job diligently.)
Fuck Erdoğan. I realise Turkey’s geopolitical military value for NATO but just fuck Erdoğan.
@aral Seems like a good time to censure him. But some country will probably make it worth his while ($$$) to vote YES for Sweden and Finland.
@aral why did they even get into the EU? Devalues the whole institution.
It's like why have China in the United Nations.
All the UN and EU is talk but nothing ever happens to anybody. You LITERALLY have to invade a country to be put on the naughty list.
@elias It’s NATO, not the EU.
@aral right, thought Turkey was in the EU and nato. i remember some years ago they were trying to get in.
