"We don't care about our mistakes, we can fight the whole world by ourselves!"
You know how a lot of people in Turkey are paranoid that foreign powers want to carve the nation up for their own usage?
I dont care because hypocrisy, thats right and if certain nations in the west, whoms leader are quite open and straight with their words using sentences such as "we will overthrow the regime - not with a coup" then this isnt paranoia. You need to see things as what they are.
You are giving them the ammunition to do so with such dumb actions. Erdogan is giving them the ammunition to do so and I suspect he's doing so deliberately. He has a job to do and he's doing it well.
Badly-behaved proxies are never a good look. Especially ones flying the Turkish flag. They should be banned from doing so. I know Turks love flying the flag everywhere but it's stupid in this case.
That they misbehave is an all known fact for a very long time but its not about this certain issue with the proxies, its about the principle, if it wasnt for the proxies they would find another way to make us look bad, in fact they have been doing so for a very long time, now where we basically say "yadda yadda" for every false allegation their attempts have become useless and boring.
