People should be encouraged to go and bring back to America the advanced ideas of democracy and freedom.

It is the greatest joy for me to be able to watch comedy
including the EU's rejection of Ukraine's accession by various methods.
and the comedic purchase of Russian energy by EU countries.
and Ukraine's far-fetched counter-offensive.

And when the food crisis happened, it was an even great joy to see further drama in Africa and the Middle East.

Of course, in cases where reality is more exciting than drama, why not?

If you're going to post propaganda, could you make some effort to be less obnoxiously over-the-top about it? Maybe dial back on the sociopathic lack of empathy too. Like, at this point, I think Russia and the CCP should just pay me to churn out their propaganda. It'd be way more convincing than their bots or paid stooges - and I have a strong suspicion you're not even getting paid to post such idiotic drivel. I mean... I wouldn't pay you for this garbage.

Not really, no. Most polls put İmamoğlu or Yavaş pretty far ahead of Erdoğan on the second round. If CHP leader Kılıçdaroğlu is the presidential candidate, things may become a touch hairy, but that's not certain to happen.

In any case, nothing warrants saying "well the election is a foregone conclusion" in any shape or form, aside from ignorance. Look, we both know that even if Erdoğan loses, and let's say Yavaş is the winner and becomes president, NSG will go "look he's a nationalist, so nothing really changed, Erdogan may as well have won lmao".

If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long.
