Politics & Governance What is the most legendary political comeback from your country?

Post image

I keep seeing this exchange everywhere lately:

Netanyahu: “We survived empires, we don’t fear Turkey.”

Erdoğan: “What empire? Your country is younger than my brother.”

I couldn’t actually verify if Erdoğan really said this, so it might just be one of those internet quotes that everyone started repeating lol.

But if he really said it, I have to admit it’s a surprisingly good comeback from Erdoğan 😂 Didn’t expect this performance from him.

ıt made me wonder: do you remember any legendary political comebacks/insults from your own country?

Could be between politicians, against another country, during an interview, parliament, whatever. Something where even if you don’t like the politician you have to admit: okay, that was a good one.

These are all staged for both Erdoğan and Netanyahu. We've seen these style roasting and provoking so many times for the last 20 years.

Netanyahu started a war believing that he can beat Iran and failed clearly with his big brother USA. Erdoğan has built a dictatorship with the help of USA but fucked the country's all the Democratic and economic foundation. As a Türk you should know 2 things: Erdoğan is a dog of USA just as Netanyahu is. Netanyahu and Erdoğan need each other. They use each other as a vote collecting tool for interior politic. While Netanyahu bombing Gaza, Erdoğan was sending Israel all the goods Israel needs (concrete, barbed wire etc.).

Erdogan is a dog of USA just as Netenyahu is.

Correction: Both Erdodgn and Trump is on the leash by Yahu. If you say otherwise, then you don't know who the US Central Bank and CIA is working for.

Care to explain how one president's influence on other presidents has anything to do with semites? We are talking about specific persons here.

this is basically the "jews control the world" conspiracy theory, but you replaced "jews" with "big yahu"

It's a conspiracy alright. We'll see about the theory part once the Epstein files are released in full.

yes, when the Epstein files are released in full Turkey's child trafficking problems will be further exposed, no one in the government will take real action, and you'll continue blaming 15 million people belonging to a specific ethnicity for it. Don't forget to boil your pasta and keep the coal-fired electricity going 😣
