I understand the US media is heavily skewed in support of Israel My impression is the US media is heavily skewed regarding Israel, however some are skewed one way, others the other. To a smaller extent, the same is true about Euro

we see the USA in the same light as China and Russia when it comes to freedoms I think I understand where it is coming from. Perception is there, and perception is important. There is however a big difference between China and Rus

I think a lot depends on Turkey here. Quite a lot, indeed.

I think they may guess, not without reason, that the US would be involved anyway, and want more of the American opinion on their side. Makes sense?

Is this a personal attack?

How about, instead of permanently distrusting the government, try to make it more democratic. One does not preclude the other. Helps it, in fact. Note: while I disagree with the parent, I gave it an upvote, because the parent wa
