@blackyandex @midnight_b65055 I wish I could do the same 😭

Alternative history : what if Erdoğan had really bad wifi during the Turkish coup attempt?

@RottingCcarcass @midnight_b65055 He is a nihilistic kleptocrat who rose to power by ordering riot police to beat women and children to death when the people protested against his KGB daddy passing the presidency to his son.

@blackyandex @midnight_b65055 That's slander of my comfort post collapse politician, please stop and apologise.

@psychicautomata They were interchangeable

It's not the "Ottoman Empire", it's Turkey #decoloniseyourlanguage

@BereIKAberezIKA You don't need to manufacture consent for what seemed to be a quick, instantaneous operation. The NATO expansion fear reason is not that important given Russia did not anyhow react to Finland and Sweden joining NATO, nor NATO rearming itself

@BereIKAberezIKA There was no propaganda campaign cuz the Kremlin expected a swift victory in three days. The fact of "victory in SMO" would be put before the public before it could accept the SMO itself. It was very similar to US's strikes against Iran this year

@BereIKAberezIKA Russia unironically expected to just roll into Ukraine and change its government in 3 days, like how it invaded Georgia in 4 days in 2008. They weren't ready for a full-scale war at all. The war continues cuz 1. Too costly to stop 2. Allows Putin to completely crush opposition

@BereIKAberezIKA The actual reason Russia attacked Ukraine was that Putin wanted a "short victorious war" to boost his abysmal approval ratings after mishandling COVID and resetting his term limits. All other justifications are mostly post-hoc.

@Friedeyoukai31 @vini64MM Even with that goal being illegal, England still won 3-2. Plus, if we're willing to go that route, Argentina's 1978 win can also be questioned

@blackyandex @vini64MM One of the most controversial World Cup finals in history.

one of the wildest games in the World Cup was the fucking 3rd place match lmao

@midnight_b65055 The coup attempt was a last ditch measure by Cemaat (Gülenists) after they were on the brink of total collapse by AKP. It's like Prigozhin's mutiny. If Cemaat did win, Turkey would probably enter its darkest political period in decades

@RottingCcarcass @midnight_b65055 Nah, he's just a greedy opportunist, he'd probably try to bargain with the new Cemaat government while privately disliking it

@midnight_b65055 Aliev would've taken the plane to Ankara and personally lead the charge against the mutineers

@n00rdung how was brasil

... does "*lowkey* quitting your job" mean taking an extended unpaid leave haha

is it insane that I'm experiencing this type of midlife crisis still in the early-30s?

@Friedeyoukai31 @vini64MM Tbf, England gained its best WC finish since 1966

@vini64MM There was nothing to lose, though nothing to gain either, not bad for two teams that seem more African than European.
