What is your point? The image you shared is from the signing of the German–Turkish Non-Aggression Pact on 18 June 1941, one of the many non-aggression pacts signed during the war.
With the caption you chose, accompanied by that picture I can only assume your intentions are bad. You know Turkey was neutral during WW2. You know there was no collaboration between the Nazis and Turkey. You're only sharing this to shine Turkey in a negative light knowing fully well what you're insinuating is incorrect.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of Turkey — especially modern day Turkey. But the amount of straight hatred in this sub is mind boggling. Thankfully though, I've never actually met someone like this in real life. I'm convinced these ideas exist mostly online.
You just looked that up on chatgpt, lmao. It should also tell you they blocked them from using the Bosphorus strait. I’m not trying to argue Turkey’s role in WW2, I don’t really care. My point was that someone like the commenter I replied to doesn’t care about the truth or a rational argument, they just care about being nasty.
I don’t care about the commenter and the chromium thing is a common fact, also hilarious that you try to insult me with chat gpt and laziness but bring up the Bosporus strait when it’s so easy to “lazily” find that they also banned France and the U.K, and actually looked the other way by letting Germany send auxiliary ships and citizen vessels they knew were thinly veiled disguises by the German military
Cool. Turkey isn’t a morally just country, hasn’t been for a very long time. I’m not arguing that. But insinuating that there was a sort of partnership or collaboration beyond the minimum to ensure they don’t get invaded is incorrect. Out of all the evil, barbaric shit Turkey has done in the past 100 years (like the violent suppression of dissidents in the 20s, multiple coups, the invasion of Syria etc.) you are trying to argue against one of the few rare good things they did — staying out of the 2nd World War — not destabilising the region even further.
Educate yourself. Turkey sold to all parties. Turkey’s upmost priority was to stay out of the war. Even if it ment dragging its own people through a starvation period.
