      At the very least, make it clear that whatever looks at civilian ships funny or thinks about firing missiles at the ports will have a prompt smoking accident

      I have a friend in Russia They don’t want this war either. He tells me that the only supporters are asskissers and brainwashed old people, which tbh is pretty similar to the US

          That was my editorializing, apologies. He seems to be fonder of the US than me (a US citizen) tbh

          My point was mostly that right-wing politics targets a similar demo the world over

        Just following orders right? The 100% completion run in warcrimes is surely just the fault of a small minority. The population and most of the army are the real victims.

        Wait, where have I heard that one before…

            We have credible intelligence that an individual named “Ben Shapiro” is the head of the terrorist group known as “Facts and logic”. I have therefore authorized an air strike on his assumed location to address this grave threat to national security.

    Sadly of course, Erdogan is just posturing to appear as the tough guy. He doesn’t have the support base to start a war with a peer military.

      Hardly. If Russia fucks around with turkey again, turkey will shoot down a few more Russian jets… like they did last time.

      From my armchair geopolitical analyst. Turkey is one of the few countries still talking with both side. They have more to win, by the place where peace negotiations occur than by being a party in the war.
