    I've been saying that a proxy war in East Turkestan (Xinjiang) would be the way to go. That's how they usually do it at least

      Yeah, it'll start with a proxy war between China & "Turkistan Islamic State." The US will provide military support to the "Islamic state." That may develop into a full-occupation, similar to the US strategy in Afghanistan since 1979.

      Turkey's politics really define so much of the future. I feel it's a country way more American leftists specifically should start learning a lot about. It's kind of wild to see it's influence grow and grow.

        Turkey has the same flag-waving bullshit that exists in USA and also has cult of personality for founding fathers .

          Turkey belongs in like Top 10-15 worst countries list tbh. The history of leftism in the country/area is fascinating and depressing at the same time :(

            To be fair the country has the #1 most anti-American sentiment based on a pew research report done a while back, higher than Germany/Russia etc. only 20% view the USA positively lol

            It's a shame because the country looks pretty awesome from a foreigners perspective. I considered relocating to Ankara this summer to save money while living in the centre of a dynamic country.
