Great accurate quote, Erdogan like Saddam might one day bite the hand that put him in power, its a real shame what is happening to Turkeys path to true democracy and again the west says nothing. We are just fed propaganda just wish more would realise, Iran turns out more high skilled engineers and academics on a pro rata basis than the west, its problems with Israel are well documented but can anyone look at the settlements being built and the treatment of Palestinians and think in 2018 this is their jewish right promised by god. Israel has a right to existence and peace, but the continuing settlements in the name of increasing their sovereignty is illegal, Putin annexes Crimea and he is sanctioned, Israel everyday takes land for settlement illegally and no sanction. Im not anti jewish but I am pro peace in the middle east and dont accept the reply of terrorism in response, but the western israel agenda is not balanced and fair, Israel has done far worse on foreign soil than Russia or Saudis but we hear nothing. Not a conspiracy a fact.
Thanks for your empathy, let's not forget what Trump said to Saudi Prince.
"You wouldn't rule for two weeks if we don't protect you"
I can understand USA's priority of its economic agenda.
But backing terrorists, and denying a nation"s right to live in dignity is not fair.
Turkey's every coup was backed by cia, this is a foregone conclusion.
USA's vision for Turkey was lukewarm islam instead of secular state, agriculture instead of industrialism.
From 1946 and on USA had influenced Turkey in a negative way.
They just didn't want a strong, independent state on such an important geopolitical location.
A german friend said to me, don't blame us, blame your self, don't be a pray.
But come on, it is like a full grown man is brutalizing a kindergarden child.
It is not much different than Spain's invation of south america with firearms.
You assasinate or over throw modernist leaders.(A typical westerner would never support this, problem is there is tremendous gap between what an American citizen's visions and USA government's actions)
Iran's PM who nationalised petroluem companies was overthrown by cia coup in 1953
Pro American Shah replaced him.
You deny a nation to prosper with its own petrol.
How can you blame its citizens lack of education and vision?
Ask yourself, why has USA has became so unpopular?
Believe me USA became the evil state of the world.
We would laugh at Houmayni when he used to call USA as "evil state"
But that is the truth
You unsuccesfully try to maintain you welfare by stepping on rest of the world.
The world is uniting against USA
It is amazing but once dream state become world's nightmare.
A well educated "world citizen" as me have no problem with USA citizens, but friends, your goverment has become the ultimate enemy of world's peace and harmony.
I over dramatized but there is truth to it
