    Libs can’t comprehend that white people have been destroying, robbing, and murdering one another. The idea that residents of Spain, Greece, and Germany are just going to join hands and do a kumbayah after 16 years of brutal austerity imposed through the ECB is delusional. And this after Brexit, with anti-EU parties gaining traction in France and Italy.

    Never even mind how this vision of the EU excludes Turkey, the lynchpin of the whole operation. It would be like saying “We need a United Africa but NO EGYPT!” Like, what are you even fucking doing here, guys?

      That’s because Türkiye has drifted away from western ideals (democracy, freedom, respect, …) under Erdogan. There were talks about them joining the EU before that.
