Continued thread

“Like Erdogan, he [Trump] has embraced crank economic doctrines to justify his policies, in Trump’s case the ludicrous claim that tariffs won’t raise consumer prices. Does anyone doubt that when inflation rises, he’ll dismiss it as “fake news”?”
—Paul Krugman, Why You Should Fear a Trumpified Fed

🔴 Berlin Blocks Eurofighter Sale to Turkey

🔸 Germany halts export of ~30 jets amid Erdogan’s rival Imamoglu’s arrest.
🔸 Gov’t cites “attack on Turkish democracy” as reason.
🔸 UK backs the deal, but Berlin refuses export license.
🔸 Scholz had earlier defended sales, citing NATO ties.

Hear, hear!

Good luck to #Erdogan trying to get accounts on the #Fediverse blocked.

Trying to suppreess the "told you so" is really hard. This has always happened and this will always happen. I really fail to see why people are unablöe to learn from that. Especially when they are, of all places, here. On a network that was specifically created to overcome that Single Point of Failure risk.
