Look, I like Turkey and all but how do they have so much influence and can project their power on to Europe despite not being that rich comparitively compared to other Euro countries, for example like Spain (it has been my observation from here that no one literally cares about Spain). What's their secret?

Came into this topic wondering who the fuck actually likes Turkey. Oh, a fuckin Paki.
They control the ISIS supply lines and Erdogan has managed to play both sides.

don't you have to find a loo to poo?

>I like Turkey
You are retarded, that's your problem
>>72111102
But they were influential even before ISIS.

They've been influential throughout my knowledge of Western history, being the land bridge between the West and the Near East. Is it Istanbul or Constantinople?

Mad that I said something mean abot Spain?

They had the balls to shoot your plane down.
It's not hard projecting your power on a group of nations as cucked as Europe. Russia isn't going to stand for any of this.
Putin is biding his time. When EU is at its weakest and the US is most distracted or allied with RUS, he'll move in on 'humanitarian' grounds and cleanse EU. Won't restore government or anything, but will preserve the culture history which is all that matters

They also had the balls to shoot NATO in the foot.
Now, NATO is such a cuckshed of nations, I won't be surprised if Turkey manages to double down and cuck NATO even after that. Such is life under cuck leadership.

Seriously, stop with this Putin meme shit.
Russia has:
- a crippled economy which will go downside with the energetic transition
- has difficulties to maintain its own army
- massive public health problems
- a hopeless and nihilistic youth
The saviours will come from the inside or never will.
Turkey provides Europe with refugees in exchange for favors

They are important NATO ally and in strategic position to make deals with Europe about refugees.
