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.

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.

NBC censored him as “indecent.” Police warned: “Move and we’ll arrest you.”

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.

The Economist once championed democracy. Now it cheers Erdoğan, while Turkey’s seculars are jailed, corruption runs rampant, and autocracy looms.
This is a disgrace. The so-called beacon of democratic standards has become complicit in silencing them. Shame on you.

They invaded the Falklands: a few rocks, windswept and remote, claimed by both Argentina and the UK.
They planted their flag.
