This feels like one of those things that will backfire spectacularly. I mean... even the announcement caused their currency to drop another 20%

erdogan is a budding dictator, and not a very competent one

i welcome this stupidity because it will hasten the end of his regime

i generally think trump's decisionmaking on the global stage is poor, but pressure needs to be put on erdogan to GTFO.

What's worse? His regime lasting longer, harming multiple generations? Or a particularly tough year or two, after which Turkey could actually become a normal society? (Don't get me wrong; I could definitely see valid arguments for either answer. I'm curious as to which side you'd take, that's all.)

Not banning sale of US eletrics is a good start

Regarding your sig: OSGRO is boring; try NSGRO (yes, it's possible, I've completed it myself; it can even be done NO or (not and) NI, except for the final boss). ;) I'd also say you're well and truly ready to try taking on NSGNSNCNO, or at least NSGNSNO, too. ;)

Erdogan would have declared himself dictator if it wasnt for Turkeys membership in NATO. Hes just been slowly consolidating power.

I haven't played FFX in a while, so this sig is kind of old. I got bored at TO dark aeons.

Maybe I'll try one of those when I get back to playing it.

Fair enough. Stop by the FFX boards (PS2 or PS4 version boards are the most active) if you need advice, there's plenty of us around there who really know our shit when it comes to FFX.

The board is on my favorites :). I actually posted in your Zanmato topic. Thanks for the advice.
