3:50 - Turkey is and has been an isolationist polity for the whole of its life (formed 1923). They have not annexed or even set up illegal and unwelcome military bases (ala USA). Westerners have a more difficult time letting go of the Ottoman Empire than the Turks themselves 🤣 6:07 - hah, the Bayraktar TB2 drones were a massive success in the first year of the conflict, lighting up Russian tank columns for fun, so much so the Azov battalion made a song about them! They're ineffective now, but not after suffering major Russian material losses. Bit of revisionist history here 6:20 "Morals never stood in the way of Turks" Coming from a Ruskie it's ironic, since they committed genocide on the Circassians who live in northern turkey today Let's not forget the Jewish pogroms or the millions of Ukrainians that Russians killed through their agricultural policies over Holodomor. Orlov is Eastern European orientalist.

@DmitryOrlovAndClub The UN "invaded" Cyprus, with Canadian peacekeepers in 1974. Greeks broke the Treaty of Guarantee 1960, which explicitly states that no nation can annex it to their territory. Turkey's intervention was covered under their signatory status as a guarantor of the same treaty. The border is literally a United Nations buffer zone, and the UN is still there today, policing the border. The intervention was necessary since the terrorist group EOKA B (supported by the Greek National Guard, and their military junta) was mass murdering Turks and ethnically cleansing the island. Turks have lived in Cyprus since the Ottoman Empire in the 1500s, they didn't arrive in 1974, a quite asinine idea.
