      Day 1825 of the 3 day special operation. They are successfully retreating on many fronts. In the back, many refineries heroically and patriotically intercept Ukrainian drones. In the black sea, the flagship missile carrier was converted into a submarine, the first of its kind in the world.

    How many days are allotted for the following special military op? 2? 3?

    So you’re going to waste 1 million+ of your own people and destroy your economy for a war you can’t win?

        Yeah lets just ignore that Turkey’s candidacy to the EU predates Erdogan’s presidency by 15 years

      Maybe rule of law and democracy has something to do with it? Erdogan just jailed another opposition leader, what about Turkey do something about it before complaining why they can’t join EU? What about stop occupying Cyprus?

        I agree that current day Turkey is flawed and that Erdogan is leading Turkey down a bad path. But Turkey officially registered as a full EU candidate 15 years prior to his presidency.

          They’re still a candidate as far as I remember, but talks are frozen because Turkey didn’t went through reforms it needed to become a member, that applies to many countries mostly balkans are stuck in negotiations for decades because they just don’t want to reform. They’d like all benefits of EU without actually fulfilling any commitments, that’s not what EU is about
