Turkey was not always an autocracy. It had a democracy. It still has elections. But its real democracy has gone away through shock and awe. It can happen everywhere if you're not vigilant and have shared agreement in the democratic project. One day it's just....gone.

And lessening or removing sanctions on Russia enables them to more easily & cheaply purchase tech/weapons to attack Ukraine (hard now, more expensive bc workarounds hard) & allows Putin replenish his coffers. Hope Europe sanctions US if DJT does this. Traitor
