Display MoreHow does this relate to anything I said exactly, with all due respect? This post is about Turkeys invasion in North Syria which I disagreed with.
The western model isn't anything any of us aspire to take inspiration in, globally outside of the western sphere. Turkey indeed learned to be imperialist from Western countries sadly, the Syrian case is caused by Turkey, the Western countries and Russia altogether. Previously the west also caused messes in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea and now ongoing case of Palestine and Syria. Erdoğan was installed and funded by Western major powers in Turkey and this is why his ways initially were causing dislike of the public and state at the time (years later we see they were right) and he eventually backfired on them and stopped listening to them. Just like how ISIS and the Taliban backfired on them and also was funded by them.
I am critiqueing our own state and hoping it can improve independently and stop from imperialist and genocidal ways of the west, all the west is doing is stealing resources from the same people it kills and discriminates against, very shameful capitalist societies that have disconnected mostly from humanity a long time ago. The eastern European countries are failing because they are modeled to support western economies and they will never surpass them for that reason, they don't want them to. Even Japan in the 80s was attacked by this same ideology and since entered an era of depression.
It is simple for me, no more imperialism.
So what do you think about Syria? There, as in Iraq and other North African countries, there were regimes and dictators, including: Saddam Hussein, Mubarak, Assad, Kaddafi etc. As long as they were there, there was peace, there were fewer immigrants in Europe, etc. From the point of view of Western Europe, it was better not to touch these countries and not to change the regimes there, which caused chaos, civil wars, etc. It was a mistake Western world. I don`t think that Arab countries are ready to forcefully introduce democracy, which will collapse a few days after the withdrawal of NATO troops, like Afghanistan. Regarding Turkey, don`t forget that it is a member of NATO and has obligations resulting from this. If Turkey wants to be 100% neutral, as it was during World War II, it should leave NATO.
China has done a great job with their economy covering 1 billion people, do you think they have the right now to come to your country and tell you how Italians should live their life?
enjoy it, the evil energy you put into the world returns in some form back.
