If I may interject, I find your logic very flawed. 1) Syrians already don't particularly care about Turkey. Am I the only one that remembers those videos of Syrian refugees under Turkish protection opening fire on Turkish border guards after they tried to stop them? Or the Syrian refugee...

Exactly, I suspect if CHP ran literally anybody else not only would they have won but it wouldn't even be close even with the illegal migrants voting for Erdogan. Ogan would flush away all the goodwill he amassed from nationalist segments by aligning with Erdogan. They wouldn't forgive him.

Then I hope KK swallows his pride and agrees because it would be the most hilarious upset in Turkish election history to have a candidate with 5% of the votes win the presidency.

So at this point it's either Erdogan wins now or he wins in the second round. Or could Kilicdaroglu theoretically rally together enough support to win the second round?

If it's that easy to identify these migrants, opposition could theoretically raise havoc over this and demand that their votes be thrown out as illegitimate.

You summed up the main points pretty well. Aliyev was never some revolutionary figure with sweeping reforms that remade Azerbaijan from the ground up (though you will have some sycophants trying to claim that), he was the last in the line of a series of sucky Azerbaijani leaders that happened to...

For some reason I was under the impression that Imran Khan had been ages ago but then I haven't been keeping up with Pakistani politics. In Pakistan, military IS the cabal.

Aliyev is diplomatic with Erdogan so I guess that means Azerbaijan can go eat shit now even though Aliyev openly criticized Erdogan for his policies in the past. So does Turkey LMAO. More than half the country knows Aliyev is a crook but they are also smart enough to recognize that the...

...did KK just admit that foreign intelligence is going to be running interference for him in the election? That's like...Biden levels of "oopsie, I said the quiet thing out loud". Can't believe I'm starting to prefer Erdogan to this guy.

Of course you can, history is littered with the corpses of seemingly successful companies that were killed through a series of bad decisions.

Is the Sudanese military actually crushing RSF? I was under the impression RSF had managed to establish a sort of stalemate with the army. Admittedly it was amusing watching RSF's propaganda arm on Twitter throwing out all kinds of buzzwords about human rights to get westerners to care about...

Dude is saying all the right things to score my hypothetical vote right now. Though I do think his chip manufacturing hub dream is a bit farfetched at the moment. Although I may be biased because he is an ethnic Azerbaijani.

Robespierre was hardly a secularist. He LARPed as one and disliked the influence of the Church because he saw it as too connected to the French monarchy but he was also unwilling to ditch religious sentiments entirely. Just look up the Cult of the Supreme Being. Why is one map of Kurdistan...

Turkey should invest in some animation studios. It's an increasingly popular avenue for storytelling that transcends the limits of live action, especially if you wanted to make science-fiction/fantasy shows.

I think I mentioned earlier when news came out that Turkey was entertaining the notion of tech-transfer agreements with Gulf nations that this is exactly what I expected to happen.

The mainstream political class in the US has been heavily infested by delusional leftism. Don't mean to get conspiratorial but in addition to screwing over America's allies, they are also killing America from within. See Brazil where the US went all in on backing Lula as the left-wing option...

This is probably more to do with Volkswagen trying to whitewash their image via "diversity" after the PR nightmare earlier this year when a Volkswagen vehicle was stolen with a toddler inside and when the police got in touch with Volkswagen to ask if they could enable tracking services for that...

Ana has these weird moments every now and then where she blurts out something based but then almost immediately ruins it by saying something stupid.

Damn, I mean I knew Bibi enacted some rather unpopular policies over the past several months but this feels almost outta nowhere. Hope there's no bloodshed but that's probably asking for too much.

The Gavin Newsom one is so on point that it goes from being funny to just plain depressing. :ROFLMAO:
