Erdogan announced plans to annex territories of Syria to Turkey

5 comments

1. We got no news of this sort in local sources. He said some shady shit like “Turkey is bigger than Turkey, we must broaden our horizon towards out of our borders” but no one is saying anything about annexing anywhere.

2. This thread will go one or two ways:

   1. dead silence and barely any upvotes, leading to a feedback loop of this post getting buried and forgotten. Just like most of the posts about what Turkey is doing.

   2. 99% of the top comments will say something along the lines of “where’s the outrage now?” With a bunch of replies angry at the suggestion that they only care about what Israel is doing.

3. I doubt turkey has the financial capacity to formally annex any territory

   It would be better to let his proxy terror groups control the territory , doesn’t get any diplomatic blowback & doesn’t need to subsidize reconstruction effort

4. Modern day expansionism by western aligned country is terrible because they are creating dangerous precedences for countries eager to do so but lacks justification.

5. Erdoğan asked “If the conditions in WW1 were different, what would have happened?” Implying those areas could have been part of Turkey.

   Erdoğan did NOT say there are any plans to annex those areas now.
