So I fell down a rabbit hole of reading about the Armenian and Greek genocides, and the population exchange of '23 and I think Turkey might not be so great y'all. I've always been a fan because cooked properly and with decent gravy it's a beautiful holiday treat, but i think Turkey may be bad y'all.

For real, what's up with Turkey, enlighten me please!

    one of my fondest memories of reddit is when after the 2016 coup, the entirety of reddit collectively came to the conclusion that it was a false flag operation by erdogan.

    I'm not gonna pretend to know dick about whether or not it was, but somehow at any given point in time, america has a perfectly untarnished reputation in the minds of liberals.

    Fethulla Gulen is for sure an asset for american intelligence.

        I said I'm not gonna pretend to know dick about the actual coup in 2016. if you think it's a conspiracy to suggest the 5 or so coups between 1950 to 1999 weren't heavily influenced by the cia I'd really urge you to read up on them and see what their political outcomes were.

        I'm 100% sure gulen is a cia asset. the guy lives on a massive estate in Pennsylvania and is the owner of a business that operates literally hundreds of turkish charter schools all around the world.

        it's as obvious as Ahmed Chalabi's relationship with the cia...
