Erdogan! Yet another client of Thiel & Karp of Palantir! A dark thought born out of decades of experience with these men is kids brains are more malleable to train these guys AI! Isolation/desperation is key for Marcel to connect to his test subjects! Every missing child in Ukraine should be supect!

Erdogan too scared to contest an election. Wannabe dictators are cowards.

Imagine if Americans actually showed up. Things could start to change. Then again we have never experienced anything like this and are slow to wake up.

Inspiration for any aspiring autocrat. Manipulate elections itself is for amateurs like Putin.

Netanyahu took to X on Wednesday

to claim in English that

"strong right-wing leaders"

in the U.S. and Israel

must stand against

a "leftist Deep State" that is

"weaponizing the justice system"

against them

Ok river and sea cruise companies, Turkey and Hungary need to be dropped from your destinations. Russia is already off the list for the majority of cruise lines. China should be dropped as well.

windsurfmaui.bsky.social•1 day ago

Turkey and Hungary need to be kicked out of NATO. They are not democracies and have no right to the protection from real democracies

Imamoglu Hey, Erdogan saw Putin get away with arresting and even killing Navalny. So he clearly thinks he can get away with arresting Imamoglu. Because this is what strongmen do to survive politically...

The world would be a better place without Erdogan. Good luck removing him Turkey. We are all rooting for you.

In other news, King Donald will arrest the @nytimes.com editors who tried to appease him by keeping his literal campaign promise of dictatorship off the front page.
