Turkey’s debate over how to approach the Kurdish question reminds me of an earlier conflict far from Anatolia.
In 1998, during N. Ireland’s peace talks, all eyes were on Stormont where negotiators fought exhaustion, distrust and decades of bloodshed.

🦇 New York’s Batman.
Behind him, a huge sign… “ZOHRAN for New York City!”
Even the typography feels like a comic-book panel.
Like Batman for Gotham but this time, the villain isn’t the Joker.
It’s Trump.

AC/DC’s Highway to Hell blasting…
Milei steps on stage with 41% of the vote.
First line: “Make Amer…I mean Argentina Great Again! MAGA!”
Familiar, right?
How did a far-right leader who lost primaries just 2 months ago win big now?
One word: Trump.

🕵️‍♂️ Inspector Clouseau on duty!
On Oct 19, four thieves in yellow vests climbed into the Louvre with a rented crane and stole Napoleon’s crowns and jewels.
It took seven minutes.
Tourists were taking selfies when police arrived.
But in one photo a strange figure appeared…

Netanyahu has violated ceasefires 80 times and he’ll break 180 more.
His political life is built on deceiving the West.
And just like every U.S. president before, he’s now playing Trump as well.
Let me explain.

It was past midnight at the White House.
Trump looked at the file marked: “CIA Secret Operations – Venezuela.”
He signed it.
The diplomacy table was closed.
The goal wasn’t just oil, it was gold, coltan, lithium, bauxite.
The new gold of the century lies underground.

Caracas, 3:00 a.m. May 7, 2025
For 412 days, Venezuela’s special forces surrounded the Argentine Embassy.
Five opposition figures trapped inside, no power, no water.
Then came the U.S-backed Operation Guacamaya.
Before dawn, all five vanished into the dark.

Chainsaw-wielding #Milei promised to “blow up the central bank,” cut subsidies & axed tens of thousands of public jobs.
Inflation fell from 300% to 2%, budget posted first surplus in 15 yrs. A shock therapy cheered by markets at first.

At the UN, Trump bragged: “I could have rebuilt this place with marble for $500M.”
The UN spent $2–4B… and got no marble.
Now he’s pitching a Gaza peace & reconstruction plan.

That photo isn’t from Buenos Aires. it’s from the bazaar of Edirne, Hadrianopolis.
Once the Ottoman capital, shaped by a Balkan eclecticism: neoclassical cornices, art nouveau curves, Sinan’s domes.
The Ottomans didn’t erase, they added bridges, markets, mosques.

One blip. Then three.
Shadows on the radar: MiG-31s.
Transponders dead, the sky frozen.
Sirens lit in Estonia, F-18s thundered off the runway.
The Baltic held its breath.

139 candles flickered in Windsor as crystal glasses foamed. Trump declared, “We’ll turn Gaza into a Riviera.” Outside, 250,000 fled the fire of death while inside, glasses clinked in delight.

Night over the Red Sea. 8 F-15s, 4 F-35s glide without crossing lines. Commander’s voice “Target confirmed. Window closing.” Missiles rose into space, then dove on Doha. A new route entered military history. It is the “space corridor.”

In 1956, Elvis’s hips shook America.
NBC censored him as “indecent.” Police warned: “Move and we’ll arrest you.”
With a single finger wag, he defied them all. ✊🎤

When democracy is reduced to the ballot box, it weakens.
🇯🇵 Japan: 2.3% unemployment, $34k income, yet a rice crisis toppled the PM.

Beijing parade, three leaders side by side. Mic stays on… Putin muses about organ transplants, Xi says “150 years is possible” Kim chuckles. Their dream of immortality isn’t personal, it’s about keeping power forever.

CHP leader Ozgur Ozel to Sözcü daily:
“We started in Sarachane, filled Maltepe with 2.2 million, and broke barriers in Yozgat & Bayburt. This wave is unstoppable. If our friends are freed, we’ll pause the rallies. If not, they’ll continue until election day.”

There’s a spy! 🕵️‍♂️
In the ’90s, “Operation Wedlock” hunted a Russian mole inside MI6 for 20 years. No solid evidence, but the suspicion never died and now that ghost haunts today’s Western trust crisis.

Imagine a little girl named Celine.
Born with a weak immune system, every winter meant fevers and hospital visits - until an mRNA vaccine “taught” her body to fight back.
This is what real scientific progress looks like.

History teaches one lesson:
If a nation is absent at the table, its fate is written without it.
From Sykes-Picot to Sèvres, Versailles to Munich, absence meant tragedy.

Monsieur Le Docteur: In France, a Title. In Turkey, a Record 🇹🇷

In Turkey: 6 faculties, 2 master’s, 2 PhDs, 13 certificates… all in 30 years. A Guinness record!
In France: Titles like “engineer,” “doctor,” “professor” belong to the state. Protected professional titles.

2017, Venezuela.
Amid mass protests, Maduro called for a “Constituent Assembly” election.
Official turnout: 41% (8.1M voters).
Opposition: “Actual turnout was less than half that.”
Two days later—bombshell:
Electronic voting firm Smartmatic:

“Figures were manipulated. At least 1M fake votes.”

1941, Warsaw Ghetto:
A child dies on the pavement.
Jews are forced to survive on just 181 calories a day.
Officials are ordered: “Do not feed them.”
Over 5,000 people die each month.
Nazi records call it a “deliberate starvation policy.
