  1. Erdogan supports Ukraine more than trump? I did not have this in my 2025 bingo

  5. Well as alliances shifts, let’s embrace our Turkish friends more and turn our backs on the Americans.

    Turkey and Europe share geostrategic interests and benefit from an isolated Russia. Europe for safety of the Eastern Flank, Turkey to be able to rule the Black Sea.

    Our interests align.

  6. Erdogan usually plays both teams, so don´t keep your hopes too high

  7. Turkey send a lot of aid to ukraine inklusive their drones which also was an amazing advertisement at the end since they performed extremely well.

  8. I tend not to agree with Erdoğan. But when he’s right, he’s right.

  9. Turkey has always supported Ukraine. Do not forget that Crimea, occupied by russia, is home to Crimean Tatars, the indigenous people of Crimea. Today, Crimean Tatars suffer from russia because russia imprisons, kidnaps and kills their activists, discriminates against Crimean Tatars, and denies them their rights. Many Crimean Tatars left Crimea because of the occupation. I know this because I’m a Bashkir and I follow what is happening in Crimea. Also, do not forget that it is not advantageous for Turkey for the russians to have such a long Black Sea coastline.

  10. Europe and Turkey should collaborate closer to protect Ukraine. Erdogan is certainly not a friend of Paris, but definitely not supporting the Kremlin. We must protect Ukraine and Europe.

  11. Let EU grant nuclear  bombs which he hosts at Incirlick for this.

  12. I don’t understand how some people are surprised by this? Not only this has been their position since 2014, but Turkey also sent/sold weapons to Ukraine during that time and even trained their soldiers before the war iirc.

    Not to mention they fought against Russia in proxy wars multiple times. They are one of the main reasons why Assad is no longer in power and Libya hasn’t fallen to Russian (and France, I still can’t believe they haven’t gotten more shit for that) backed warlord.

  13. Fuck me I can’t fucking believe it but for the first time i have to agree with erdogan 😂

  14. Dumb question: Was this not known, or not explicitly at least, until now? In other words, why is it news?

  15. I hate him with a passion but I’m glad he is doing the right thing on this. We should support Ukraine until the end.

  16. It makes sense. Turkey before played ambiguously between Russia and the rest of NATO, trying to appear as a neutral partner between both sides. But now, suddenly, the USA are making eyes to Russia. This upends the balance of power in some many ways, that he better cover his bases.

  17. Am I the only one wondering if I am going crazy?

    US and Russia discuss peace deal, without Ukraine and not even Europe? When did US become authority on what happens in EU?

  18. Turkey and Poland together could end Russia’s intentions. Then China could carve off a chunk of eastern Russia for themselves.

  20. As a citizen of Ukraine, I am very pleased to read comments from foreigners who support us. You know, not everything is perfect here, we have a lot of corruption, but I want you to know that not all Ukrainians are like that. We will always be grateful to you for your support and for supporting our territorial integrity.

  21. Absolutely wild when erdogan has a better stance on a matter than the USA.

  22. Europe and Turkey should be one on this subject, especially what we re hearing from usa.

    Besides TR is the only country has an experience downing a russian plane, im saying it as figure of speech.

    I wish all wars end though.

  24. Turkey is historical rival od russia. Turkey will never accept russia annexing more land so close to turkey.

  25. Yet somehow it’s just the Modern British Empire and Ottoman Empire who are willing to stand against the Russian Empire.

    Meanwhile the German Empire is pacified and in shambles, The French empire is loud in support but does f all. And all of the small countries complain about why they weren’t involved in a talk when they themselves wouldn’t be providing some 50 soldiers out of a hundred or two thousands…

  27. Turkey has a soft spot for eastern Europe.

    In the past they didn’t recognize Poland’s partition by Prussia, Austria and Russia and now this.

  28. Holy fuck are you all just bots? 3 FUCKING YEARS the same shit in every Ukrainian/Turkish news posts.

    >-OMG i cant belive i agree with Erdogan!!! teehee
    -Wow Putin must be feeling betrayed RN!!!!!!!
    -No actually Turks always had this stance
    -What about [insert russian propoganda]
    -no actually [insert a half truth]

    Dead internet is real.

  29. Cool, now when is Europe going to grow a pair and properly support Ukraine

  31. pound for pound, Zelensky may be the greatest leader, fighter for his country. This guy is like 300 fighting a behemoth and holding it back with every shred of his being. We got bone spurs and his spaceboy partner 2nd daddy.

  32. Not surprising Erdoğan hates the Kremlin, with every fibre is his body. And has been suprisingly european centred on most major issues. Mainly because of economic reasons, of course. But regional unity is unity. No matter onse differences.

  33. I don’t like the man, but rn he’s being kinda cool.

  34. As an American, having Erdogan doing the right thing while we’re selling a ally down the river is galling. I’m sorry, world.

  35. Which is why I said yesterday that no matter what you think of Erdogan on other issues, Turkey has a HUGE army and should have been invited to the Paris talks yesterday. It’s ridiculous that Netherlands and Spain were there and Turkey was not.

    A lot of EU countries talk about GDP spend but their spend is on croissants and meetings and most of them can’t deploy a single brigade on the Eastern Front. Turkey has more Brigades than Germany and France combined. That’s actual manpower and equipment ready to fight, mechanized vehicles, tanks, etc. Not bullshit admnistration costs and military admin staff.

  37. I never expected to like Erdogan more than the American president.

  38. It’s a strange freaking world we live in when Turkey under Erdogan is a better ally than the US. I guess our standards have lowered.
