Turkey

NATO is supposed to stand for democracy and human rights. It begs the question as to why Turkey is allowed to be a member of this alliance.

Recall the many, many times my readers were informed that Iraq was not part of the "resistance"? Whatever the hell that actually meant?'Cause it was meaningless to me. Empty rhetoric.    Canthama aka Disinfothama was a big pusher of this nonsense.  As were others at Saker's. Hope Saker didn't push that absurdity? Can't be sure but that meme definitely appeared in the comments section there.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Turkey faces a “historic catastrophe” as the country suffered its deadliest day yet from the coronavirus pandemic and warned against “political profiteering” as his government spars with opposition mayors over its response to the fast-spreading outbreak.

Even when viewed through the prism of Turkish interests, President Tayyib Erdogan’s escalatory actions in Syria’s Idlib governorate constitute now plainly evident blunder. Refusing to finally abandon its occupation of Idlib has so far produced numerous setbacks for Turkey, visible to all but the brashest of Erdogan’s diehard supporters. It also threatens to damage Turkey’s ability to leverage its ties with numerous foreign powers that enable it to invest in its overseas adventures in the first place.
