Erdogan threatens to send in the migrants — 8 Comments

  1. I don’t want to sound like one of those incel losers but one of the things going on seems to be a feminized Western culture struggling with a resurgence of machismo. We have forgotten that the concept of “the gentleman” included the idea that he could beat some ass if necessary.

  2. Erdogan has long had the Euro’s measure: pure bluster. Germany imported Turks for mostly grunt work as their American-funded “economic miracle” began around 1950. These Turks, now in their 3rd generation, remain loyal to their homeland. Plus the millions of Syrian and Turkish “refugees” (all male, all clean and well-dressed in all the photos I’ve seen) more recently admitted, except to such “regressive” countries like Hungary and Poland.
    The cradle of Western civilization is committing suicide instead of standing up to the Turks.
    Erdogan’s threats are not hollow. The Ottoman Empire is being resurrected.

  3. Cicero,
    It’s not completely true that 2rd generation Turks in Germany remain loyal to Turkey. I know some second generation assimilated Turks who don’t like what Erdogan is doing to the country. A year or two ago, there were reports that Turks were forming their own senior facilities here because the realized that the Turkey they left years ago is different from the homeland of their memories and that they were more at home here.
    I’ve also read that Erdogan is getting pushback in Turkey because people don’t like the economic situation. Germany has for years resisted Turkey’s desire to join the EU, probably because of the free travel that would mean. And they remember now that a year or two after his election, Erdogan visited German mosques and told people not to assimilate. There is probably a big difference between Turks who live in smaller cities and those who live in enclaves in Berlin, Cologne, and Dortmund.
