galbeedi Posted December 8, 2018 France is burning almost every week end. French polls show that about 70% of the people support the Yellow vest apprising that is targeted to overthrow Macron using riots. A demonstration that started against rising fuel costs had transformed as leaderless movement that is demanding the resignation of the president and his government. Yet, I do not see CNN or other western media covering the riots or the burning of the cities, especially Paris. When a small protest against the development of Gesi park in stanbul took place circa 2013, CNN was covering live. Soon it was labeled as leaderless uprising that want to overthrow Erdogan and his party who were democratically elected. The diminutive Macron is hiding and shocked about the scale of the protest. Sultan Erdogan commented and condemned the riots and disproportionate use of the police force, He said, "Those who provoke hostility against refugees and Islamophobia have been caught in their own trap," and added, "The walls of security and welfare they cherish so much are being shaken by their own citizens, not by refugees or Muslims," He is correct. Many western leaders including TRump and others have used the threat of non existent Muslim terrorism to further their political agenda. The so called ISIS had come and gone to the dustbin of evil part of world history of that group, yet the peaceful and law abiding MUslim community are intact despite the backlash and the constant Islamophobia threat they are facing. As Erdogan said, there will not be anymore Refugee or Muslim escape goat to blame for these problems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old_Observer Posted December 8, 2018 This might have something to do with the "European army" "Gas pipeline Russia to Europe" and "Brexit" Somebody with deep pockets is behind all this yellow vests. These are not cheap plastic too some are very elaborate jackets. Globalism is gone and nationalism is back. Erdogan is one of the best positioned countries in the world to take advantage of the whole world situation. America wants Turkey on its side except for the problem that Israel doesn't. Russia wants Turkey on its side Iran wants Turkey on its side China wants Turkey on its side Germany now wants Turkey on its side Some of them are willing to pay what ever it takes like Iran and the Turkish are noble, they never disrespect Iran even when Iran is down same with Russia. France made big mistake in Syria. Now too late cannot be corrected. The British are enjoying it but very afraid of yellow vests being used on them as well.
