As an American, I just want to say that so so many Americans regret the Iraq war so so much, and see it as one of our greatest mistakes and failings.

[@mehmetgurdal]

I think US is the perfect example of what most of the countries doing in the world. Despite being a unique innovation (a combination of many different nations) it acts just like a conventional country; focuses too much on regulating the world power and fails at addressing the needs of its people. Turkey is the same.

[@brandonblack8735]

​@@mehmetgurdalHere in the USA we don't believe that it is the government's responsibility to take care of the people. We tend to fetishize the idea of individual/personal "responsibility" to an unrealistic degree. It's one of the reasons why universal healthcare is such a difficult sell and also why our "self defense" culture is so extreme. The spectre of governmental over reach is also a major factor in why we are so suspicious of the government doing things "for the people".

[@welcometothenextstep6496]

The Iraq war in a way was necessary. Definitely prevented a genocide of the Kuwaitis by the hands of Saddam. And the instability in the middle east was inevitable when Ataturk banned the caliphate and the entire Muslim world was left scrambling on defining what their identity truly was.

[@theknifedude1881]

Bush is a f*ckn’ war criminal! How does his invasion of Iraq differ from Putin’s invasion of Ukraine?

[@emilysort]

@@welcometothenextstep6496 It's really, really difficult to argue seriously that in order to stop a genocide it was necessary to kill a minimum of 150k innocent civilians and destroy their infrastructure to an irreparable degree. Saddam's own mass killings are a convenient scapegoat for this, but anyone with eyes can see the destruction actually makes the American side look about as bad as Saddam in the first place. Defending the Iraq war in any way, which even the American state considers to be a mistake, is poor optics and poorer morals.

It makes our perspective relatively objective against both the West and the East but it also divides the country even harder than the democrats and the republicans are. However that's possible.

[@dkursada]

That would be true if our education system would let citizens of our country to build such an outgoing view to the modern world. This is ironic: While this current party in power go against Atatürk′s ″mind your own business″ principle and chase influence in Europe and Middle East, the average Turkish citizen′s view of the modern world became narrower and narrower to the point it's fixated on Erdoğan′s views or opposition′s reactions to those views, dependent on what kind of family and environment the citizen in question has been born into and grew up in. The modern world is becoming evermore polarized in the hands of nationalism rising in almost everywhere and the geopolitics of Turkey could build the perfect view of modern societies′ problems and their solutions on its citizens′ mind. But sadly, the only people who can benefit from others′ experiences are the brightest ones, and such a person′s name has been mentioned in the first episode: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. The very education system whose foundations he had built himself (Atatürk wrote the first geometry textbook in the country) has been changed so much, now it's a machine that spits out students to take extra 2-4 years in universities only to find themselves in the ever growing army of the unemployed. So all a university graduate in here can think about is whether they can ever feed themselves. There is hardly any place for priceless perspectives on the modern world history on their minds.

[@Pr0SV1p3r]

Turkey has unmatched soft power due to historical ties, much more than Russia does to Serbs and Germany to Croats.

[@tugberk33]

As a Turk, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the first part of the series a few months ago. When I woke up that day, I sure wasn't expecting to see a 2-hour long documentary by a foreign guy about Turkish history on my KZbin recommendation feed. I immensely enjoyed the whole series, well done sir. Most likely because I've lived through it all very recently, I found the only lacking part in these video series was the Gulen-Erdogan dynamics. But that is quite a niche topic for an outsider and very recent therefore I understand there could be a lack of trusted sources on the issue as well. Overall, incredible work.

I was enlisted in the Cyprus army at the time the 2016 coup happened, and every single higher up in the ranks at the time was sure the coup was a sham. Apart from the reported cases of soldiers being told that its a drill and not a coup, which might happen in an actual coup, what gave it away in their opinion was that they didn't cut the country's telecommunications. According to them, the first thing you should do in a modern coup, if you are not a complete moron or pretending to coup, is to cut the telecommunications network of the country. The fact that the coup was ongoing and Erdogan was publicly skype calling the Turkish ppl announcing he is fine, plus the fact that not a single one of Erdogan's administration was arrested during the coup, kinda gives it away as a sham coup to give Erdogan a reason to arrest opposition and do a rapid cleanse of the army ranks.

[@copypastemyname]

@Furkan8k this is very sad man...

@Furkan8k that was the reason. I don't know if the ringleaders of the coup thought it as genuine or just pendent to make a coup, but I believe that the coup was a very well directed provocation.

"Son" at the end doesnt mean as a male child but as it means "last" in Turkish

I guess i am nitpicking but he didn't really think that through did he. It's easy to be confused. But you can't really interpret it any otherway. Soo i think it is okay.

[@obuw1]

A better translation in this context would be "The End".

[@rhashem1534]

Yes however as this is a Turkish themed video it is appropriate for him to use a Turkish words though it could be confused

[@napabilirim]

@@obuw1 Yeah, it means the end

As a Turkish person myself, these videos were a total blast to watch. I actually learned a lot of stuff I didn't know or simply overlooked, so thank you. Çok güzel olmuş kardeşim, eline sağlık. Gööd wörk brö

Probably one of the best KZbin series I have ever watched. Super interesting to understand the development of the Turkish society as a German✌🏻👍🏻

[@cambaz3517]

interesting, in general the germans are not very interested in us and they do not like us very much. but they can't do without us, say turkish writers hahahaha

Thanks a lot Kraut. I've been feeling Turkey's important for the modern story, but I've not been able to put my finger on it. It is rarely covered much in the media, which around here has been mainly flailing between "otto man bad" and "you no be racis". This trilogy has greatly helped understand its place in history and modernity. Also, I love the polandball style. Even if it makes it twice as long to watch properly when you count the pauses :). Finally, a warm greeting from Europe to our Turkish friends. We got our differences, and I don't know the proper answers. I don't know whether Turkey should have been let into the EU, or we should never have made such promises. But our leaders - dare I say "we" - screwed you over. And in my limited capacity, I apologize for that.

[@TayfunOksuzoglu]

Thank you for acknowledging that. Greetings from Turkey. :) Have a great day!

[@shimi594]

Hey, thanks for writing a comment like this. In recent years many people from Western countries hate Turkish people because of our government, so it’s nice to hear things like this from a European. Greetings from Turkey :)

[@arkasin2892]

Thank you for your friendly comment. We have our differences but we are all humans after all. Hopefully, the EU and Turkey will have positive relations in the future whether Turkey becomes a member or not.

[@batuhanyldz5102]

If this sincerity was the attitude which Turks would see from Europeans back in the old days, I believe so many things would differ now. That's it, sincerity and some respect. You don't need to apologize on my behalf and I don't think that majority of the Turks would think the otherwise. When you just listen the other party and express yourself with sincerity and respect, you don't need anything else. Thank you, again, on my behalf.

Funny thing is I was living with my family there during all these times due to my father's work and lived there for more than 6 years. Will never forget how the Turks can be friendly and hospitable . Sad to see how the Turkish people are suffering under these times.
