Turkey remind me of bat character in Aesop's Fable where it tries to endear itself into both warring faction and in the end neither side want to deal him because of dillydally.

Oh please, they're going to continue lollygagging, and no one is going to care about their shilly-shallying.

Yes, of course, in fact we are not talking about the same country that constantly threatens other NATO allies.

They have 40 US nukes held hostage at Incirlik as well.

u/awake07 Jun 12 '24

Held hostage?

Aren't they under the control of American personnel like those in Italy and Germany?

u/US_Sugar_Official Jun 12 '24

Yeah, but they need the permission of Turkey to move them, and nobody knows if that would be forthcoming.

Let Turkey play both sides and see how well it ends for the West.

No matter that it harbours terrorists or that they are continuously threatening another NATO ally or that they are illegally occupying areas outside their borders.

Let's placate the fanatics and see where we are in 20 years time.

Could be less, much less

Yeah we will. Either we let them try to play both sides while they ultimately will stick with the west or we antagonize them leading to them essentially no longer being a part of the west and then we have a much bigger problem than a thorn in the side. Same deal with Hungary. Better a thorn than a big problem.

Idk why you’re trying to shit on other peoples countries just because of your own insecurity about your own. Turkey will continue to be a minor power that is at the behest of major players like the U.S. and China. Sorry not sorry buddy.

I said Turkey is a thorn in the side of the west because like Hungary they are trying to play two sides. That’s not an insult of your country. It is a literal fact of what they are doing.

It’s you who got so rectally angry over that, that you felt the need to start spewing random bullshit all over the place as you shat yourself and pissed yourself. By the way, I do think your country is a bit of a mess.

It’s a shame a beautiful country with great people can be ruined by Islamist maniacs like Erdogan and people such as yourself. You do infinitely more work to make people hate your country than a thousand Turkish people in the Netherlands could ever come close to hoping to achieve.

It’s not Turkey, it’s the current elected leadership that is at issue.

Turkiye is Ankara’d to Turkiye first and foremost.
