Yeah and do you realize what type of game the US is playing with Türkiye?
Türkiye is a relatively large, highly militaristic nation, sitting on some of the most strategic land in the world and with the unique benefit of having cultral ties to most of central Asia.
After China, we're the biggest threat long term, by a mile.
So what's the US been doing for decades? It's trying to reduce Türkiye's unity by inserting anti-republic ideology, targeting Atatürk and Turkish identity. Contrary to popular belief, it hasn't just done this with Islam, they've also used liberalism to chip away at this. At the same time, they've been steadily supporting the idea of Kurdish nationalism.
It doesn't matter whether you're Muslim or a staunch secularist, if you have a shred of care for the nation you must be aware of this game. The scenes in Istanbul and across the Southeast are appalling, you can't just wait and expect it to get better. Clearly the current leadership has been allowing this to fester rather than nipping it in the bud.
Furthermore I'd like to add that billions have been spent on Islamizing Türkiye, because that's the first step in making us "the next Iran". When you see Israeli and US officials saying that Türkiye is a threat because its Islamic, you should realize that they've been engineering a negative image of us for decades.
With all this said, I'm hopeful. People are waking up. Despite all efforts, this plan will blow up just like the 2015 PKK uprising. But this current peace process pretty much guarantees there will be a massive amont of terror attacks once fighting renews. No doubt IEDs are already being laid.
