Which goes forwards into dead Russian conscripts. Win win.

They were testing the public opinion on delaying the elections right after the earthquake. A former government politician Bülent Arınç made a statement that even though the constitution doesn't allow for delaying the elections it should be considered. He even went so far as to say "What, is it written in the holy scriptures that elections can't be delayed?" for which people mocked him on social media because, you know, constitution>quran.

Anyway they quickly back pedaled on postponing elections now they see that as how much this earthquake is going to effect the country in the long term is becoming clear. Out of 14 million people that were affected by the destruction, more than 3 million have already relocated to other cities. Unemployment which was already significant is going to go through the roof. The government has spent all emergency funds that were supposed to be in place for such emergencies on useless constructions megaprojects to enrich their cronies.

Turkey had 40 billion USD of taxes collected for earthquake response, the fund is empty. There was 24 billion USD of mandatory unemployment insurance collected, was reallocated to the "Turkish Wealth Fund" which is directly under Erdogan's control and is exempt from state oversight, and spent. Central Bank of Turkey had 128 billion USD of emergency funds, was spent by Erdogan's son in law Berak Albayrak to try and keep the value of the Lira up (USDTRY went down from 2.80 to 18.87).

They've been selling assets of the country as fast as they can to get cash flow in. Since this is being done through the wealth fund it's not even possible to say just how much they've sold off so far. It wasn't enough so they started allowing "dirty" money to enter the country's banking system. Which is why Turkey has been put in the grey list.

Long story short, since around 2008 the government has no idea what they're doing, they keep trying to save the day, with no underlying plan for medium to long term strategy; and we're fucked.

By india renouncing russia and the benefits that russia brings to the country, the war WILL spill over to india.

I think India does care about people dying and all that, but why would they get involved and then have another billion+ people affected? Indians affected.

Modi is right to keep neutral.

I can see where you are coming from, however I don’t see Russia coming to India’s aid in a conflict with Pakistan, at least in the foreseeable future . Recently a member Of CSTO (nato’s counterpart, which Russia is a part of) has been in a military conflict and yet Russia refuses to help.

first time hear about that information

From what I’ve heard about this story, through massive manipulation of Facebook to get the people to trust the son again and hate the current government. The ousted family bought their way back into the good graces of the people with a campaign of relentless propaganda.

The Russian might of sending their ethnic minority to die for them.

Much strength, very macho.

>india is abstaining , chilling and growing. btw india has sent billions of dollars of aid to innocent ukranians

Scienceing trumps politics. Hope that the new generations of Russians and Americans can keep this up once the confrontational Cold War era boomers die off.

Seriously how do we purge the world of this crap

Simple numbers game.

There are way more Bradley's than any other MBTs.

Japan is well known for predicting earthquakes too. From sanctioning India 25 yrs ago, to courting India for partnership now, US came a long way lol. These are just minor tremors. Just wait, watch and enjoy the ride.

Then eat the plentiful kind. Or catch the delicious kind and raise them in a factory. Treat them like pigs.
