Whoa. Awesome meets awesome. I like the bit where... that's untrue, I like all of it. You may disagree, commies, that's up to you. It's not like there's some kind of "rule."
Let's have the Bosphorus back. Erdogan's been weighed in the balance and found wanting.

I think that we're letting Turkey be Turkey, as the Sultan sets his sights of being hedgemon of the Middle East. Which is the bigger problem, Turkey or China? Yes, it's true that your mom serves Turkey on China at the holidays. I've never been invited, but I've seen the photos...
ReplyDeleteTake no prisoners, LSP.
Gonna be interesting to see the 'response' to this one...
ReplyDeleteOther than a bit of geography, what can Turkey offer the world that the world cannot do without?
ReplyDeleteLL, you're ALWAYS invited, you know that.
ReplyDeleteThen there's the Turkic horde in Asia Minor. No, not invited, they just marched in and took it, no thanks to the Christian West.
Perhaps the Sultan will find his path to power less easy than he supposed?

ReplyDeleteThe entire West should be marching, but we've lost our faith, unlike the Moslems who have it aplenty.
Weird, isn't it, that for the first time in 1,400 years+ we have total, absolute, unquestioned military supremacy over Islam but won't use it. Maybe that'll change.
Good question, WSF. What does Turkey add to the equation?
ReplyDeleteOn to the Martin Sheen movie: The first time I tried to watch Apocalypse Now, I was done in 10 minutes. The second time I had to watch it all the way through, since it was in graduate school, 1994, and I was 48 years old. Fifteen 15 minutes in, I asked myself, "Is this a comedy?" Well, yes. The joke was on Francis Ford Coppola, because he had no idea he had made a comedy.

ReplyDeleteSgt -- I doubt I could watch the whole thing again and every time I post this vid I hesitate, because many of the few people that read this blog have done the real thing. That said, comedy gold, not least:

Marxists? Apparently not.
