I'm sharing it as a lesson to everyone.
Does The Economist want Erdogan to leave because he wants Turkey's good?
You should ask yourself this question.
looks like reverse psychology. The economist knows this will get relayed back to Turks and it predictably make them think, see erdogan must be a good guy if the west is against him. When in reality its most likely intentional, the west created erdogan and its maintained him. Reminds me of Pavlovs dog, "behavioural manipulation" is very easy to use against the common Turkish citizen.
But on a side note for the first decade when people used to point out all the positive media the feto affiliate was getting in the western media all the political islamists where happy about it. These same islamists never wondered why the western world was so assured in praising erdogan and ak party.
"Turkeys pro-Islamic leader has built his (secular, democrotatic, Western friendly nation into a regional powerhouse...."
All the feto affiliates were getting pro media coverage from babacan to davutoglu. In my life time i had never seen Turkiye get this kind of praise in the western media. In the western media we were always portrayed along the lines of something like (greek/armenian financed) "midnight express".
If i conclude and look at the bigger picture the entire nations is coming under ideological subversion, a long range strategy that aims to undermine the entire state. Where our country has not only been completely undermined from within, but externally we have been made to look like islamist nutters who hate the west. The hating the west thing was a trick the American used in the early days against Muslims in order to demonise them, "they hate our way of life, they hate us." i think even the clown trump said the same thing. When we know the reality is the power holders in the west hate Muslims and Islam, while most Muslims look towards the west for inspiration and have no issue with Christians.
Just look at these elections its not about policies or making the better country, people are voting out of fear as to who the real traitor is and if we dont vote for our guy Turkiye is finished. While all this happening all the terrorists entities and enemies of the nation are openly operating, even the HDP shithead from jail is able to daily tweet propaganda to potentially influence elections.
What happened to the rule of law? Why are these so called traitors not investigated and dealt with? Why is it open season for all these people to harm the social fabric of the nation? To constantly inflame tensions and stir sectarian tensions? While in the background millions of culturally incompatable migrants are allowed to flood the nation only exacerbating the tense situation?
Turkiye is f'ked. Sorry to say it but nearly the entire nation is hypnotised, its asleep.
The reality is this the major parties are going to give you more of the same, economic decline, increased social tensions, instability, no peace of mind whatsoever jumping from constant crises to constant crises. With the long term aim to the complete undoing of the state.
