Days like these I am glad I live in the Netherlands and tax money does not go to stupid megaprojects. And where shit like this would be scrutinized into oblivion.

ah great, perfect timing... great way to distract citizens from the fact that we're making peace with PKK and allowing them to create a state

Its a Eastern Mentality to build mega projects that would bankrupt you.

Mughal Sultan Shah Jahan actually bankrupted his empire to build the Taj Mahal.

Egypt is building a new administrative capital worth 50 billion $. It is the same mentality with different applications.

Chinese built the Great Wall aka the current we see today was built by the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention the Ming scuttled their own navy just upgrade the wall.

A wasteful megaproject in my opinion.

This kind of mentality has been with us for centuries. Nothing has changed.

Numerous examples but in Turkiye we call it Cilgin Proje. Just a fancy way of saying megaproject.
