I support Erdogan within turkey because he is burning all bridges with the West and increases their political and economic isolation. He is forcing Europes hand to actually develop political strength vis a vis third world dictators and brings them back into reality. Europeans really believed that the people of the world are nice and fair and that nearly everybody is actually decent. Erdogan broke this and he broke the myth that turkey is some liberal democracy and not an authoritarian ultra-nationalist aggressor.

I am sad for HDPs repression but they could never achieve anything the way turkish society works anyway. Anybody that decentralizes and gives self-determination to the Kurds will be seen as a national traitor who destroys turkey.
