Sinteres posted:Trump ad libbing on the Middle East right now is loving insane. He's talking about how Iran was on the verge of taking over the Middle East when he took office and had Saudi Arabia under siege. Then he took credit for weakening them so much that they're having bigger riots than they've ever had before, which is just as absurd--the protests last year were nowhere near as big as the failed Green Movement from 2009. He also said the words "they can do what they want there, frankly" about Iran in Syria, which I have to imagine Netanyahu isn't going to appreciate. Like everything that comes out of this loving guy's mouth, the paint-strippingly insane view into what Trump thinks happened in history takes all the focus off the truly loving threatening part slipped in there nonchalantly like a sewing needle in a Halloween Snickers bar: did he just loving imply that India should commit troops to Pakistan's northern border because they're "there"!?!?!?

If the word he used is riots, then he's right on a technicality. The more recent episodes have been a lot more confrontational than the green movement. But either way, at its height, they may well have been larger than the green movement due to it being a prominent thing all over the country whereas the green movement was largely urban kids. They've also got a lot more staying power since the various strikes and whatnot are ongoing even now. And I'd say there's no doubt that the government is much more afraid of internal instability now than they were during the green movement.

Erdogan's either like the dog that catches a car and doesn't know what to do with it and is pleading for help, or he just figures Trump's a big enough idiot to give him a bunch of support either way: https://twitter.com/JuliaArciga/status/1081276304870334470

Media outlets bow to Saudi pressure on a regular basis. This isn't a Saudi story per se, but Sisi is a key Saudi ally.

But I'm pretty confident that you're 100% supportive of the "this ethnic minority doesn't deserve a country because one of their oppressors would be scared" notion. So lmfao are you loving kidding. That's some Likudnik stuff. Also: quote:The consensus is that the Kurds kicked them out of the region during the fight with ISIS and settled their own people there (in an effort to improve their bid for an autonomous, independent Kurdistan), which Turkey will obviously have none of.

Nationalistic shithead sentiments exist in every country and can be manipulated easily with propaganda (as evidenced by the fact that in the 80s and 90s they didn't have the 'us vs. the world' narrative yet'). News at 10.ecureuilmatrix posted:Isn't that exactly the argument made by Israel regarding Palestine? You don't say? Except in this case it isn't even backed by the whole 'We're surrounded by Islamists that want to exterminate Jews, we gotta prevent it' narrative at all. Instead it's just 'rightful arab clay!' and evicting Kurds that did live there to fit their stupid goodfacts, totally unlike conquering anything at all!

Turkish politics are more broad than Americas, but much like Greek politics they're also kind of not because capital N Nationalism is extremely heavy duty and prevalent across the board even including some far leftists. Like the secular Kemalist party that is the main opposition to Erdogan's Turkish GOP party. Both these parties are nationalist as gently caress.
