Corruption. That being said I've also heard some people say that our population numbers are inflated by a few million in which case our GDP is actually pretty good for the region. Still corrupt though.

By that metric Azerbaijan is also oppressing Jews and Christians because the same bans apply to them. Religious clothing and accessories are only permitted in religious schools while in public secular schools you must obey the dress code or you will be sent home. For some reason recent events...

I don't think having orgy parties with paid adult prostitutes is quite the same as raping little children in messed up elite rituals on a private island. Hypocrites and scum? Yes. Jeffrey Epstein tier? Not quite. This is just regular political corruption thus far.

So Turkish team finally locks in after sleepwalking through two games against mediocre teams for a game that didn't even matter. If you guys put up this much of a fight earlier, you'd have dominated Australia 2-1 and Paraguay 3-0.

The worst part is that Paraguay were down a player for the majority of the match and the Turkish team still didn't score. If I didn't know better I'd almost suspect they were playing shit on purpose.

I think it might be better for your blood pressure to turn that match off @Mis_TR_Like. :rolleyes: Where's the defense? Turkiye keeps getting caught on counter-attacks.

Called it, US demolished Australia.

How exactly is Hellenistic civilization remembered "positively" by Arabs when one of the defining moments of Arabs asserting themselves and creating empires is when they kicked the shit out of the Byzantines and forced them out of basically the entire Middle-East and laid siege to Constantinople...

It was honestly shocking how badly Turkey played here. Feels like any football match involving you guys can be decided simply by flipping a coin regardless of all other factors involved. I suspect the US will absolutely curbstomp Australia, American team is really solid this year. Then again...

Money laundering apparently.

No idea. If they got arrested for it then it would definitely be an outrage. If Turkiye was at war with Greece then it would be another matter. If a Greek unfurled an EOKA flag in the Ayasofya then by all means, throw his ass in jail.

To be fair arresting two idiots for waving a Greek flag is a bit petty. If only Turkish officials were this zealous about arresting the ones who wave around PKK flags...

LOL I remember when some Turkish-Americans were backing this guy because he's "one of ours". I'm still waiting to see a single European nation apologize for the brutal ethnic cleansing of Turks from the Balkans which caused one of the largest refugee crises in history and that even proponents...

I wonder if the US interest in bringing Turkiye back into the F-35 program has to do more with tapping the country's manufacturing potential. It has attempted to shift Turkiye's role in the program to some other nations but from what I hear that isn't going as well as the US hoped. I suspect...

I really wish Trump would stop writing like a 5 year old on a sugar high. You're the president of the United States FFS.
