I find it funny how some people with those ideas live in Western countries.
It's like they are unable to realize the hypocrisy. Or maybe they have some kind of hypocrisy kink?

One can speculate, but at least anecdotally, i get the impression that some people whose parents are immigrants have been presented an extremely idolized version of the country their parents (or their grandparents) emigrated from.

Bit of an older article, but it gets the gist across.

Well, this may be Erdogans final year. Let's see what he will try to do to stay in power (his judge friend alr sentenced one of his rivals, making him ineligible to run).

Didn't he make it so that he could run for president and that his previous terms as PM didn't count or something like that? Originally Posted by Makabreska

Erdogan will most definitely be on the ballots for Turkey's next election, what might pose an obstacle to securing that win is rather the complete shitshow that is the Turkish economy. Official data by their government has their inflation rate at well over 80%, and you can be sure that the real inflation rate, rather than "curated" government statistics, is even higher.

Seems St. HIMARS paid the russians at new years visit and there are a lot of vatnik tears. They had taken over a school for a barracks. Then they decided to use the basement for an ammo depot. A night visit from HIMARS went as you'd expect. Video shows nothing but rubble left.
The Ukrainians put it at 400 dead and 300 wounded, which might be a little high, but some of the vatniks are talking of hundreds of casualties.

Apparently Ukraine also hit a Wagner compound near Bakhmut (or at least in Donetsk), unless that's the same one you're talking about? Originally Posted by Corvus

This was meant to be mobiks. Might have been a different incident with the Wanker SS, but hadn't heard of it.

Arresting has been going on strong since that sus failed coup attempt in 2016. Originally Posted by Nymrohd

russia's MoD has admitted to 63 dead in the HIMARS strike. So we know the real number is much, much bigger now.

Careful, you aren't allowed to say anything bad about the actions of Israel, because they'll call you an anti-semite. Originally Posted by Voidwielder

Not only they traded top of the line US military secrets to China, now they are taking pseudo neutral (read: support) position in, what they call, ''Russia-Ukraine situation''.

Not seeing anything anywhere about that. And it would be doubtful given the support Iran is giving Russia. Originally Posted by Voidwielder

Would be funny though if under the guise of better ties Israel sends something that is "Accidentally" a dud, Iran gets wind and pulls out swiftly because don't want to be seen with a "friend" of Israel. Originally Posted by Corvus
