In 1915, the total population of Turkey was 13 million.
3 million were Christian.
Today there are 86 million people in Turkey and less than 50,000 Christians.
What happened?
Who will answer for it?
When will the world acknowledge the martyrs who perished?
@KevorkAlmassian Great that the issue is raised, but he's virtue signalling (probably to please Armenians in Leb)- if he was serious, he should never go to Turkey, but he's very pro-Turkish. He blocked me (a nobody) for pointing out his double standards criticizing Israel but not Turkey, lol.
@nntaleb@BretStephen_NYT Again, consistently- @nntaleb the hippocrite. Every criticism you have against Israel applies to Turkey, sometimes even worse- result being that you are largely the same as the people you criticize (often correctly). Sad, but legacy being ruined.
When Constantinople fell the Ottoman army rapidly poured in looking for their share of the spoils.
In their frenzied quest for the riches of Constantinople widespread violence, enslavement, and looting ensued!
A thread on the realities of the SACK OF CONSTANTINOPLE in 1453!🧵
In Kruger National Park, South Africa, veteran ranger Sipho Nkosi suffered a heart attack while on solo patrol. His vehicle was found empty, and search teams began looking for him.
What the park’s remote trail cameras revealed broke the hearts of everyone who saw the footage.
An old bull elephant — known to rangers as “Mnumzane” (Zulu for “Sir”) — had found Sipho’s body. For three full days and nights, the elephant refused to leave. He stood guard, gently touching the ranger with his trunk, chasing away hyenas and jackals that came too close, and even covering parts of the body with branches and leaves.
On the third night, the elephant was still there — visibly grieving, swaying slowly beside his fallen friend. Only when the full recovery team arrived with vehicles did Mnumzane finally step back, watching solemnly as they carried Sipho away.
Park officials later confirmed that Sipho had rescued this same elephant as a calf years earlier after poachers killed his mother. The elephant had never forgotten.
One colleague who viewed the footage whispered:
“He didn’t come to say goodbye. He came to make sure no one disrespected his brother.”
Mnumzane still visits the exact spot regularly. Rangers now leave fresh water and fruit there in honor of both.
Dear Charles, since you are talking about double standards, let me remind you that Turkey invaded Cyprus in 1974, and still occupies European territory, 🇨🇾🇪🇺
@nntaleb And you can't compare Spain to Greece vis-a-viz this war- Greece is in the region facing immense security threats, it suffers the consequences of its words and actions and must be careful; Spain can comment from a distance without consequence (and score internal political points)
@nntaleb The moral & righteous Spain- that ACTIVELY supports genocide and ethnic cleansing in W/Sahara, but you're happy to ignore that since they support (with words only) YOUR cause and no one on social media is demanding justice for the Sahrawi people. Sit down Mr Moral Policeman.
Charlie Kirk warned against starting a war with Iran. His worst fears are playing out in real time.
"A possible scenario is Iran says: 'You humiliated us, you killed our leaders, we're going to make this a regional mess.'"
@Richard32475343@greekcitytimes It is not a question of if but when, as British power & influence continue to decline- those "sovereign" areas are remnants British colonization, and the only reason Cypriots tolerated them was "protection" they thought it provided. All can see that is no longer the case.
Not only are they a cause of attacks against Cyprus- the British military is proving to be incapable of defending their basis and the island at large from even small drone attacks. The British have no more legitimacy in or benefit to Cyprus and must leave immediately.
@greekcitytimes The logic G/Cypriots give in favour of British retaining sovereign bases after colonization is that it would serve as a deterrent to foreign attacks on Cyprus. Now that its the opposite, them being a source of attacks on Cyprus, they must leave in full- no more justification.
