Has anyone said anything about Erdogan's misogyny towards women in Turkey yet? If not, I have a treat for you:quote:Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said women cannot be treated as equal to men, and has accused feminists of rejecting motherhood.

Erdogan is nothing but a tryhard. "Batka" Lukashenko is still my favorite dictatorial aphorist.

Baudolino posted:Israel can not lead any coalitions, they are too politcally toxic. They can still contribute however by fabriacting evidence that they have supplied Daesh with arms and training and "leaking" it, perhaps mr Hersh would be interested in another big scoop?. That has way too much potential to backfire. It's a great idea until people in Western countries actually start believing it.

The NPT doesn't say a country has to let observers into any military installations they want. That said, it's a valid criticism of the NPT that it really is possible to comply with it and still attain breakout capability.

Update from Kenya: Somali gun attack on middle-class bus. Non-muslims massacred. http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/22/world/africa/kenya-bus-attack/index.html Kenyan forces anticipated to begin ethnic cleansing campaign against Somalis that make Israel's war against Hamas look like America's strikes against ISIS. http://mobile.bloomberg.com/news/2014-11-24/kenya-army-strike-on-militant-camps-kills-100-after-bus-shooting.html This comes after several continued trends. Recently, Kenyan security forces stormed a mosque and targeted an imam with known radical ties for assassination after an attack on a police station in the coastal region. This continues the trend of Kenyan ineptitude->overzealous response->counterradicalization->targeted assassination inside a mosque->radical over-reaction with extremely public attack against middle-class targets->security forces bungle response, overzealous response. Why does it matter? Al-Shabab's attacks, and the inept reactions against them/inability to prevent them, provide propaganda and recruiting material for ISIS. Its no secret that ISIS targets American Somalis for recruitment, either to marry off to their core officer cadre, to use as suicide bombers and raw manpower, for grassroots financing, or for plotting an imminent attack against homeland targets.

Israel has no friends expect the US goverment anyway. What have they got to lose at this point. Increased anti-semitism in Europe would only encourage more jews to immigrate so that suits Israel just fine.

Turkish media is reporting that the conditions necessary to fulfill the foreign minister's warning last week that some three million additional Syrian refugees could be expected to enter Turkey, namely that a corridor from Aleppo to Turkey has been taken by Assad's forces. I'm a little confused as to how cutting off Aleppo's connection to Turkey would increase migration, and surely the foreign minister's words could be considered more of a plea (or a threat?) for support against Assad, perhaps, but some more migration is probably on the way regardless. Out of the ~1.6 million claimed refugees in Turkey (more is pretty likely, and births are on the way too), just 15% reside in (lovely) camps. In Istanbul the rental housing market is presenting all these interesting responses--some ads say, "Syrians need not apply," others--usually for substandard housing at outrageous prices--state, "Syrians welcome!" The seaside city of Antalya recently tried to impose restrictions on Syrian refugees entering the city or working there. Various acts of violence because of perceived or real tensions have taken place. And, as anyone could expect from a poor, mostly unskilled population that doesn't speak local language, some have turned to petty crime, and more others to begging (especially visible in city centers around the country). Police say they don't go after them for smaller crimes such as theft and assault because it's hard to get results with their lack of documentation and addresses and so forth, and that is increasing resentment on the part of the locals. Turkey can hardly be said to be dealing with its already existing minorities in a healthy way--what about 4.6, maybe eventually 5 million, or around 6% of the current population, that are even more unlikely to speak the language + more likely to be desperate? The government acknowledged that the majority of the refugees will probably be in Turkey for good. What will that say for Turkey in ten years?
