Cyprus Kurdistan Libya. Aren't enough for international court for crimes genocides? 11000 turkish/uigurs women are in turkish jails-with all minorities-for tortures and sexual harassment during they blame chinese
Please do not recognize the crimes that our government has boasted loudly of for 200+ years
Absolutely. What’s fair is fair! Genocide whatgoesaroundcomesaround
Race bashing for embezzlement? No future for our Country.
You mean it hadn’t been recognized before?
that actually fair
K
Checkmate Erdogan.
Good. I wish we'd recognize it, too.
Deal!
I recognize it.
Yes! Hopefully Erdogan will do this - get it out there. Recognize it. Say it.
Does this include Elizabeth Warren?
¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
I DARE THEM
Seems fair.
'threatens'
Yeah... that's something we did... do other countries not realize we genocided the hell out of the indigenous people here?
So, he admits to the Armenian genocide?
👍🏻
Sold
US should recognise US genocide of Native Americans 🤷🏼♀️ so what’s the problem
Well...yes. It should be.
When a family movie can not only mention the Armenian genocide but also condemn it like was done with the Native American genocide in Addams Family Values, we'll talk.
I'm, American, I recognise it. So, why not?
Pssst - you’re both right!
Would've been better on Thanksgiving, but otherwise, yeah, you got it.
Go for it
Do it motherfucker.
I hope he does realise that the US itself recognises it?
I mean, 'sfair.
Okay. That’s totally fine.
Do it, coward
I mean, yeah. It was. Doesn't the world already recognise it as such?
Sure. And also, slavery was genocide.
Okay everyone play it cool we want him to think he totally just owned us by doing this so he'll follow through.
This makes sense. He should.
do it
absolutely. smallpox-laden blankets. alcohol shipments. Burnt granaries. forced relocation. Massacres by everyone from armed settlers to army officers. Genocide was done, and it needs to be acknowledged, and taught in our history books, along with all the good stuff.
Wait what? Oh yeah that - we are ashamed but thanks for the reminder
Oh yeah, so a wrong DECADES AGO is supposed to excuse Adolph Erdogan's crimes now? Wake up zombies!
Nasibi antics
Are we meant to have a problem with this? It’s the truth.
Fucking do it
trpresidency
Well... he's right.
Why does he think that recognition of a genocide that was without a doubt committed in American history is dangerous?
Please do.
You mean you didn't before? I'm fairly certain most of us in the US do and we are not proud of what our ancestors did. And we would like our government to do more for the ancestors of those who were senselessly murdered.
oh nooooooooo
Good idea. Let’s keep going. We’ll condemn evil things done by other countries, and they can condemn evil things that we’ve done.
Not seeing a problem here.
M'kay.
Wow burn
Both are true
Please do!!
Damn Erdogan with the hot takes. Next up he’s going to condemn the Spanish Inquisition, because nobody expects that.
How is that a threat?
Would that make turkey less responsible for the ArmenianGenocide ?
So! It was!
alright
Good, everyone should.
Nothing wrong with that. It shouldn’t have to be said that all genocide should be recognized.
Where's the lie?
Ah tit for tat
A sad indictment of global politics today. Politicians threatening each other...... with the truth. 🤦♂️
And?
Er...”brrrr”?
... Can we have statues and holidays in our honor too, or is that just a Dead White Folx thing?
'threatens to recognize'
Ok.
Okay, seems fair, that happened, it was.
sarcastic voice oh no please not that
Go ahead, facts are facts.
Well it's about time SOMEONE did.
Please proceed.
We aren't denying it
Hell yeah!
Cool. Do it.
Please do
Oh no please dont
That'll teach us.
Cool. Now do Armenia.
And this is a threat...how?
Good
I mean yah no shit what did he just now take 6th grade American history
Seems fair to me.
I want Erdogan to recognize the American genocide
Don't threaten me with a good time.
Lest there be any doubt about who POTUS is beholden to, today Trump refused to back recognition of Armenian genocide after Erdogan threat. 😡 ErdoganNotWelcome RussianAsset
I'm good with that.
What's the problem?
Promises? Promises!!
Excellent, hope he does
tRump backed out of saying Turkey committed “genocide”, so they kissed and made nice nice. Sorry. Evidently, Erdogan has no problem with the word “Atrocity”. Go figure
Yes
That's right
Valid
Let this sink in.....KevinMKruse jbf1755
Go ahead.
Ok.
And?
This is like the one good idea Erdogan's ever had.
Okay? Do it
has the US congress ever done it themselves?
Go ahead. Any day now.
This is a threat? Go ahead, bro
Okay.
nice, do it
Two wrongs literally make a right
I'm ok with this.
US and Turkey are both guilty.
Um, good? Considering us Americans all fucking should recognize this
Do it
Yes please.
Is he going to walk us through the evolution of racism in America that led to the election of .realDonaldTrump?
The US did commit genocide on multiple counts, and still hasn't done anything to make up for it. So, please. Spread the word of the US's crimes. They're beyond count.
Let's look a bit more closely at the British empire, built on slavery and genocide.
OK good.
As it should be
Ohhhh nooooooo not thaaaaaaaat what will we eeeeveeeerrr doooooo
I'll even say 'pretty please?'
KatCapps Sounds abt right
2 questions for Turkey. 1-are there any native Americans living there and 2- did him or his staff know that is in our history book and we have tribes still living and fighting injustice without getting slaughtered anymore?
Sounds about right.
Do it.
Ok, but like, there’s one happening NOW you guys. Can we stop “recognizing” the past and do something about the present moment? Just spitballin’ here.
Is that a double dog dare?
Lmao fuckin good then
So both need recognition at this point? Weren’t they obvious by now?
As we should.
I support this
Fucking A, let him. It's about time someone did.
Really don't think he's going to get the response he was expecting from this.
Sound great.
About time somebody recognizes the horrors of the genocide against Native Americans - even if it's scum like Erdogan.
So? Do it.
Me and every other armenian
Like we don’t already know, bold that a guy who’s actively participating in a genocide right now is calling us out, but I get it, the truth hurts.
Fair.
Do it!!! -- from an American
I mean most of the US already does that.
Please do?
I wish the motherfucker would
Seems fair
he’s right
Ok.
I’m ok with that! Let’s recognize both!
Sounds fine to me.
I mean, yeah.
haha! do it!
I support recognizing both Armenian and Native American genocide. And support recognizing the genocide Turkey committed against Kurds in Dersim, and the ethnic cleansing of people in Rojava , northern Syria. The list of genocide and ethnic cleansing committed by Turks is long.
It's everywhere, I believe Ghandi said it best an eye for an eye makes the world go blind. People need to recognize our past transgressions so not to repeat them. HistoryCounts
Mesut, come get your man
AudreyGarden Good. I have no problem with that.
Good. We are clearly guilty. Long live the memory of Russel Means!!!
Good.
I have no problem with that. The difference is that America acknowledges this stain on its history. Libraries full of books have been written on the subject. Turkey, on the other hand, denies its genocide of 1.5 million Armenians.
the most woke game of chicken ever played
I mean...it is a thing that literally happened. The entire world needs to recognize, ESPECIALLY us here in the USA!
sounds dope
I mean... it needs to be recognized... Just not by him
Both happened.
How about let’s recognize all the genocides? Very funny how a strong man brain functions.
serenity22 Some threat
Um...good?
Wtf I love erdogan now
Huhuh Mr. Trump is afraid of Mr. Erdogan! Huhuh 🤸😂👏🇦🇲
Reminder - this is trump:
Fair enough!
Good. We all could use some education.
And....
OK. I’m not seeing the problem
Yeah? Go ahead then.
okay good
He should regardless. And Africans. RTErdogan
*sergeant bosco voice* do it big man
That's a ... Threat? 😔
Uh, sure. Go ahead. We don't deny it.
If you do that we stop pardoning turkeys before Thanksgiving! Your move, Erdogan.
To recognise the US genocide of Native Americans is a good thing. To recognise the Turkish genocide of the Armenians is also a good thing.
Failing to lie about a fact is not a threat.
MakeConstantinopleGreatAgain
Do it
Comrade Erdogan pushing for historic recognition of great injustices. Truly he is an enlightened despot
Who cares about native americans?
Ok. Sounds good. It's about time.
As he should
Ok. It happened so if he wants to recognize it sure
OkBoomer
Because deflecting the ArmenianGenocide which was orchestrated by the Ottoman Empire is what they do.
Never seen so many non turks support Erdogan
Do iiiiiiit
Do it pussy
Good.
all for it
Your genocide is bigger than mine. fail
The history of turkey and the caliphate much more bloody, Islam was and still is the biggest propagator of Slavery. 1400 years of bloody oppression my the sword..
Do it you coward
No problem!
Well don't threaten. JUST DO IT!
The question is why haven’t the genocide of the indigenous people in Canada and the US already not have been recognized as a genocide. Britain should be part of it too and France as they started it.
Go
Thank you? :)
I fail to see a problem.
Only one more genocide to go!
Ok
Hell yeah.
Erdogan... good?
That’s fine go right ahead
Threatens?
👍
Lol
He should
By all means please do
Works for me, an American. We must all face the crimes of our past. Currently, we must also end the Trump-directed genocide happening at our Southern border.
Real Story: CURRENT TURKISH GENOCIDE OF KURDS
Well it happened,we can’t deny it. Neutralize his threat. The world already knows we have not been without our painful,shameful moments in history. How we are treating Native Americans today is a horrific failure of the nation to recognize and admit the truth.
He is one of very fine Leader
Yes please.
st_flowseph
they didn’t already? are they stupid?
It should be recognized. By the US first and foremost.
DO IT
This isn’t a secret-It’s what this nation did. Genocide and slavery. And now we’re in the mess we’re in because of our pathological denial. But that’s changing. We’re getting brave enough to tell the truth-our sins as well as our grace. We must tell the truth to heal our nation.
Good. As an American I want the genocide of our indigenous people to be recognized. It is an historical truth & we will never be able to move past it until we face it & our history of slavery & discrimination.
Better late than never, I guess.
Please listen to this principled/powerful response to Erdogan's threat by noted Native American lawyer and leader brettachapman:
Yup. Sounds good.
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱Turkey meddling 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 By reporting facts!!
Do it, coward.
And?
It was a genocide, without question. To not recognize it as one is the only issue.
Two wrongs don’t make a right.
Well, hmmm... thank you?
Wait...Turkey didn't see it as genocide? War.
Whatever it takes, I guess?
Weird flex, but please do it.
Cool
Works for me
Ok.
There are also British fingerprints on the genocide of Native Americans. Sir Jeffrey Amherst in 1763 gave smallpox infected blankets to Indian chiefs with devastating effects.
Fuck yeah recognize ALL the genocides, justice to all victims
Recognizing genocide: always free and good and worth it. Recognize them aaaaaallllll
ok boomer
Okay. Taking a moral stance out of pettiness and spite is an interesting choice but I guess it's the best we can hope for now a days.
I’m ok with this.
Please. Noooooooo!
Sounds like a win.
Well...
I’m on both sides here; they both need to be recognised.
Good?
...ok? We should’ve done that a long time ago
There is big ass difference between those two. Armenians did not get killed systematically with the involvement of the Ottoman State but the Native Americans did by the US Federal government for centuries until they were completely wiped out.
Tell him go right ahead...at least he will admit what Amerikkka won't.
High Five!
Fine by me.
Good! Both should be recognised
Go ahead, that's legit. We aren't going to play 'I'll hide your genocide if you hide mine'
Lol Erdogan thinks that this is does or means anything. Unlike Turkey, we acknowledge and recognize the dark periods of our history.
Cool
Its the genocide against the heterosexual that needs to be addressed
Yes please do!!!
docrocktex26 I’m not seeing any dilemma there.
Good call
Good - America should recognize it first
Oh wow. What a brave stance to take.
What about genocide done by british crusaders in Jerusalem,when river of blood flood city
Okay. It was genocide.
Sounds good to me.
Oh no, please don't throw us in the briar patch
Recognizing genocide to get back at people for recognizing your own genocide.
weygand_gmt
How the truth is kept hidden for eventual political bargaining . Bloody politicians, if you believe it is a genocide why not spell it out anyway
That impresses me as a confession of sorts.
I'm more than OK with that. It's the ugly reactionaries in both countries that want to hide historic crimes, while substituting an ignorant nationalism in place of modern politics. A formal apology for both the native genocide and slavery is long overdue in the US.
The Nazis thought we would go along with them because of our own genocide. So, nothing new there.
This is the weirdest timeline
lol
Excellent!!!!
He should.
Great! Now can we get the UN to do something about the conditions of the GOP immigration detention centers?
We already know
Cool.
Correct.
All genocide should be recognised. Otherwise we are at risk of more
OK, and? The US has already acknowledged the genocide of native Americans. Hasn't done enough about it, but it isn't as if anyone pretends the US committed repeated genocide to steal land from the native Americans.
allahliker Nice
Well alright.
All western countries should do it.
Even the USA understands its crimes... But hey, he got his attention once more. Stop giving people like Trump or Erdogan Attention for every fart they experience.
It was genocide.
Please do! Someone should.
Cool
I don't feel a threat since everybody knows it's true history.
AricToler Please do. Also note Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, French, and UK’s role too.
Please
Fair enough
Good.
Is that a threat? Both are historical facts.
As it should be!
Guess that’ll work
There are many genocides the US carried out.
Perfect. Whole of the world should do it not just turkey.
Please recognize the genocide of Palestinians too
Lit
Fair's fair. Get on with it.
wtf I love Erdogan now
Both were genocides.
Don't threaten us with a good time.
He should. All genocides should be acknowledged and condemned, taught with honesty and a determination to never let such atrocities happen again.
Good, WE ALL SHOULD
Do it.
Yeah? Its common knowledge. They dedicated a film industry to it..
Yes, definitely. Recognize all genocides.
And that’s a bad thing because?
I mean... yeah. Ok. Sounds like a reasonable trade.
But please site specific Presidents like andrew Jackson and other individual racists who make legislation against native Americans like realDonaldTrump and GOP are currently doing. ThisLand is a good example of current and further native Americans genocide
Ok. Of this, this country is guilty.
Hitler was supposedly a half way decent artist, so they say. Stopped clocks can be right once or twice in a lifetime. Never excuses heinous acts of genocide, no matter who is the perpetrator. In the genocide game of rubber / glue y'all can go to Hell where you belong.
It is genocide Do it
Erdoğan ain't wrong.
The Ottoman empire that you laud so much recognized the Armenian genocide.
Do it. C’mon, do it. What, are you too chicken to handle trump? You don’t care about trump. You laughed at him and threw his letter away. Do it. Then do american slavery.
Um...everyone recognizes that.
I mean, good - both should be recognised. But why are all of our world leaders petty little men that just constantly want to measure their dicks?
Fantastic. That'd be great.
'...with left-wing Democrat Ilhan Omar refusing to back the bill until the deaths of Native Americans and the transatlantic slave trade were viewed in the same light by congress.'
Cool
Bet
USA practices double standards.
In America's disgusting history, only the locals not. Japanese Vietnam Iraq Afghanistan Palestine Somalia and others
Sounds good
Why the hell hasn’t he done that already
He have right actually... all genocides they committed they committed with support USA Britain Nato
I don’t think this will have the effect he thinks it will.
Russia USA EU /Nato Britain supporting that criminal for destroying Middle East and occupied stealing the natural resources we have
It's not a genocide if we won.
Do it
ew_Apo_leon's account has been withheld in Turkey in response to a legal demand. Learn more.
do it
Yes please
go ahead my man
Armenian resolution is a retailiation for current international crysis that US has with Turkey and it is same thing Erdogan is trying to do, political revanchism. Another note is in Turkey-Armenian case that it is not something politicians can decide by vote.
Good
Is that a threat or a promise?
Go ahead. If that means you acknowledge Turkey’s past.
It sounds pretty good actually, do it Rexhep!
IT'S HAPPENING TODAY Erdogan Native American women used for HumanExperimentation FDA UNAPPROVED medical devices NEVER intended for permanent use in humans, NOW SPECIFICALLY TARGETED for FICTIONAL OUD Opioid use disorder. KËLUNE LIES FRAUDULENT OpioidCrisis GENOCIDE
Why 'threaten to recognise a genocide'? Genocide is Genocide and should be denounced FULLY. What is this threatening bullshit? The Europeans killed, raped and slaughtered the true inhabitants of the North America's, the natives. This is HISTORICAL fact. We should ALL recognise it
Go ahead
He’s sooooooooo mature.
👍🏽
Two birds one stone?
Is he somehow under the impression that’s a bad thing. I’m British and I firmly believe that every atrocity that Britain has ever committed should be acknowledged.
The problem with being a bombastic half-wit is that inevitably to will do more harm to yourself than others.
Good!!!!
And what difference will that make to Trump, or the Native Americans who have moved on both sides know it was awful and there is acknowledgement it was very wrong, so his point is what in this century?
While your at may as well recognise the French invasion of Algeria in the mid 19th century as genocide, seein the killing of some 800,000 people. And ‘Great’ Britain’s reaction to the potato famine in Ireland 1845-49, seeing that they purposefully aided the famine.
The bloke may have a point.
The biter bit.
This is one reason I like Erdogan, he speaks out against China and the imprisonment of over a million Uighur. He spoke out at the UN against Israel and the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians. And he is opposing American hegemony over west Asia.
Go off
Somebody should.
Damn! Recognizing reality to spite someone for recognizing reality is a power move.
Ouch, that's true.
Fair enough. Time both countries faced up to the past.
He should
Everyone is fine with It in here ... This comment was unnecessary to rally some people I think
...good?
b_shaw12 Second interesting thing he would do after Arab journalist killing. This might be the end of NATO
Erdogan is my favorite Armenian.
Dude our reactionaries only do quasi denial that. What he should do is recognize the US genocide of the Vietnamese.
It does not justify the xenophobic genocide type of activities but there were some native Americans that were attacking settlers, but were there any Armenians attacking people?
Can he add crimes against humanity for treatment of slaves? Maybe The Hague can get that Confederate crap removed.
Yeah let’s do that
Sounds good.
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOOD DO IT!
ImperialwizardT He should
do it u goddamn coward
'I am an evil dictator and you have offended me, so i will do *shuffles notes* a good thing' ?
Stopped clocks and all that.
Did we not already? At least we arent denying it ever happened like SOME countries...COUGHCOUGHGERMANYCOUGHCOUGH.
pretty certain thats already been done.
Fair enough, now he can recognize the genocide his own country committed, too?
not a threat
Damn guess Trump really is a master of trade deals
Ok
Good
Or maybe we all just do the right thing & recognize all the genocides. Ignoring our collective past atrocities only paves the way for repeat performances.
Wow, this comment section shows the american hypocrisy at its best
Finally something good coming from Erdogan
Go off
I learned about the genocide of Native Americans in grade 3 so I'm not sure what the threat is exactly. I mean, I still thought it was funny they named a country after a bird.
That's a good start but just the one?
Please do it.
Do it!!!!
The Native American Genocide is a fact! So is the Armenian Genocide! trpresidency POTUS
Trump, the ever quivering bowl of jello, will now back down.
More truth is good. Not sure I've approved of any Erdogan action before.
This owns
Genocidal nations of a feather....
👍
I’m somewhat shocked this would be news. Are there really still places that don’t consider it genocide?
Yessss
Seems fair. Can we do the Brits next?
AMERICANS are NOT European settlers, anymore But YOU are THE SAME STORY Of Terrorist-riding Mongol thieves and murderers of Ottoman dark occupation, Sultan Erdogan
MERICANS are NOT European settlers, anymore But YOU are THE SAME STORY Of Terrorist-riding Mongol thieves and murderers of Ottoman dark occupation, Sultan Erdogan
Well, someone should.
Please do.
That sounds correct. It was genocide. Who denies this? How can anyone deny this? This country was built onthe backs of and by breaking the backs of indigenous peoples and people of color. It’s not something to be proud of. It is something to make right by championing all people.
Go right ahead... Most Americans would agree. I guess that’s the difference.
Fine.
Okay.
Be my guest.
Dear Tayyip, we’re not proud.
All genocides should be recognized and confronted. How else can we work to ensure no more happen in the future if we don’t acknowledge those that happened in the past?
I’m okay with this
Uh, darn, you got us. Welp, I suppose we need to setup a bureau of Indian affairs and work with descendants on how to make things right.
🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♀️
WE ALREADY DO
please do. include our holocaust of african-american chattel slavery as well! thanks!
This is said as if it were a bad thing....
I think he should,the US needs to be held accountable for this atrocity
Ok
I mean it‘a true, we in the US know it was a genocide so what’s threatening about this?
Umm. Good?
Deal.
We were force sterilizing Native American women and kidnapping their children until the 1970s. The US should be widely shamed for our actions.
Conservatives threatening us with a good time
Please do.
That sounds fair.
Please do.
I mean...yeah? Dont really see how one genocide justifies the denial of another? Like both are genocides and this seems just like risk deflecting!
Good!
Oh, please.
Is this genocide recognition trading part of the WTO?
Shhhh...Dont tell Andrew Jackson...
Were Armenians Turkish citizens?
Love it
55 million indigenous.... Is that number accurate?
Ok
Ok.
Please. Go on
k
In the US this isn’t controversial, people are taught about the genocide of Native-Americans;
sosayu3 Big difference: we acknowledge the genocide of Native Americans. Erdogan doesn’t recognize the equally heinous genocide of Armenians.
Brilliant thought with rogue comparison. Erdon release Ocalan NOW. The obsolescent Ottoman empire seems embedded in your melancholic psych e. It's the 21st century now Erdogan President of Turkey ?!!
Excellent, Smithers!
That would be totally magnanimous of him.
I hope someone does
Hey, fair is fair.
unironically a good idea
Would be nice if we could harness the power of ego driven passive aggressive world leaders to properly acknowledge the atrocities of the past and then collectively work together to make a better world
Deal
Do Japan next.
DO IT
Lol. Okay
They both happened.
Ok, boomer dictator.
Cool, I concur.
Don’t forget all the innocent people killed by the Americans for oil the most evil country in the planet with their clone Israel’
So called Armenian genocide is an imperialist lie: if it was ever true; there would be a court case in last 100 years already🤯 Supporting this lie is a political reaction to Turkey’s decisions of security and defense actions Don’t be fooled !
Well done Turkey unfortunately America are too stupid to understand they are becoming irrelevant by the day..
Americans don’t dispute this.
Let's recognize all the genocides and mass murders.
ok. I’m good with this.
About time
Literally nobody denies the genocide occurred at this point and the federal government has acknowledged it several times. So seems like a pretty good trade for us
Takes one to know one I suppose. Funny how it takes them to call us out.
ooh scary! please don't do it mr Ottoman wannabe!
Trail of Tears. Do it
Seems like a fair trade.
Ok good
Great! On board with it!
Alright
Good?
About time!
Nice 👍🏼 Erdogan - I love a Turkish Kebab!
Ok
Two stable geniuses...
Someone should
DO IT
Wait .. he's going to do the good thing?
Please do
And?
DO IT!
yeah that would be good actually that's cool
Facts
It's only a 'threat' to people who are somehow committed to denying reality.
allahliker Uh, no shit genius. I guess we’ll need to rewrite the history books to acknowledge that the Cherokee Trail of Tears wasn’t because they were forced to watch people’s beautiful transformations on Queer Eye, or something.
It’s not a genocide if you don’t stop doing it.
Valid
Um... agree?
Yes, please!
Nice
Seems like a fair deal
🙄
Is this the part of the film where everyone fights everyone to ruin everything and then suddenly after everything is totally distroyed and there is nothing to fight about, they become friends again. Happily ever after ending sort of thing?
I'm fine with that. The US should recognize the genocide of Native Americans.
Is this supposed to be a threat? If so, Erdogan may be surprised when he finds out most Americans already acknowledge what the US did to native peoples was genocide, and we are deeply ashamed. We're not going to get angry or dispute facts about what our ancestors did.
Guilty!
Well....yeah
Yeah that's... not really a threat
Not something the Americans deny, is it?
Yes, and?
It should be recognized.
LOL
Haven’t we already done that?
I take everything back, this administration makes the greatest deals.
Please do
No lies told.
Why would that be a problem, everyone knows about the several genocides in the USA already
Aaaaaand?
In retaliation, I will publish detailed data, revealing unequivocally and without doubt that dihydrogen monoxide tenaciously adheres to most objects that are immersed in the chemical, and traces remain when the objects are removed.
oh no, please dont recognize the twin to slavery as the sins the US was founded on. however will we move forward from this contentious revelation?
How he imagines... “Colonists and Army killed a lot of Indians!” “Nu,uh! How could you say that? It’s hurtful.” Reality, “Yeah, we know. Why a lot of us don’t celebrate “Columbus Day. Why are you slaughtering Kurds now?”
Bring it, thx.
Do native Americans and African Americans 👌🏾
Bet!
Hey! Don’t you people realize how much you’re disappointing Erdogan when he thought all you Americans would be so upset. Thank you, you’re wonderful! I can only think of one or two who I would enjoy disappointing more than Erdogan.
allahliker
Fuck, we already knew that
It seems like I’m always a few years ahead of Erdogan with these things.
... Sure, ok?
So he is going to do more than our own government?
ummm go for it, bud
Ok
Except we don't deny that here.
OK, Erdogarbage
This is very good
Ok
Turkey is an absolute expert in all things genocide so it would not surprise anyone if they recognised a “genocide” committed by the Martians on the inhabitants of another solar system. Muppets...
why didn't turkey already do that?
win/win
Now Erdogan looks like a hero...
Boy I would be so angry as an American if he did this. Thank god we don’t have to worry about the coward erdogan doing anything like this, due to his personal and national cowardice.
Checks out
Do it!
Cool cool
PLEASE DO
This is good.
allahliker Wait, I though The New Yorker was publishing The Borowitz Report? When did The Independent pick it up?
So we’re just gonna ignore the US slave trade? Huh. Okay.....🧐 UsedToTheBS
Recognize these nuts.
He should do this.
allahliker Facts are facts
So?
Meh I think we did when we put the trail of tears in the history books. Your turn ya turkey
ok
Lol
Where's the bad news here?
fine by me
allahliker Based Erdogan
docrocktex26 Okay. How is this a threat?
We survived those genocidal events. Take my DNA to prove it. Lol jk no one's getting my DNA bitches!
The Armenians were genocided? Oh yeah? Well...SO WERE THE NATIVE AMERICANS! Got em.
We know already
Sure
Not sure why that should be a bad thing. We need to be honest about our past.
Please do.
Why not both?
Ok
Watermelon seller thinks he can bully the US. Delusion is a wonderful thing.
Full support here
We already do and it's taught in our schools, but you do you
nancyneff2 Does America deny it? Because that's ridiculous.
Same
Americans killed 9 out of every 10 Native Americans and was built on African slaves...
He's not wrong though.
We're taught that 4th grade lmao
Hopefully 80% of Americans acknowledge this already while only 20% are fine with it... and not the other way around.
We really aren’t denying it
quislingnot I’ve no problems with this at all, should bring up the lynchings and murders of people of colour too. America isn’t all that star spangled crispy clean.
But like, we did do a genocide.
日本人だけよ。 捏造された、南何とかは関係ないし。 日本人だけ、人間的で善良な民族。
Ok
Bring it on
ONLY GOOD THINGS!
...and?
And this is a bad thing?
fair
So this threat is about 2 things that happened?
I'm not seeing the downside here.
Fair
Do it. Woimd be the truth
Yep, we did that.
So his reaction is to point out another genocide that we recognized before him? Weird flex but ok.
Good! Please do it!
Go for it.
I kind of love this.
Well, that did happen.
DO IT. PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO IT.
....ok.
That will be awesome
He's not good at this game is he. Because a majority of Americans would be cool with that.
He’s not wrong
Do it!
Please do this.
Ok. Turkey's turn
Dude has a good take for once.
It may be a petty, spiteful gesture, but it is not wrong.
Ok? Most people already do.
As an American, I agree. Go ahead, it would be nice if we recognized our own sins, too.
A broken clock is right twice a day. ErdoganNotWelcome
All’s fair in love and genocide
Do it.
No argument here.
bshep92022 Well it about time someone stood up for Native Americans.
As an American I have no problem with this. This and slavery are the two most shameful parts of our history.
‘Bout time
By all means Erdogan, please go right ahead. More nations should do the same thing.
Wouldn’t be wrong.
Just do it!
Wonderful. Please do.
After that, gravity.
Good?
Do it. The US congress was correct to recognize Armenian genocide, and Turkey would be correct to recognize Native American genocide
That’s great, thanks.
Um... Good They're both genocides
Do it. PLEASE do it.
Okay.
Bruh, we acknowledged to that decades ago.
Is someone denying it? You aren’t going to bring Sherman and Grant back now to answer questions about it.
I don’t see the problem here. Takes one to know one 🤷🏾♂️
Oh yeah
Go right ahead, it’s true
I call bs: on Erdogan, the US gov, and the people who think they're being progressive by saying 'go right ahead'. Acknowledging the genocide of Indigenous ppl also means surrendering the stolen land you're living on, so you're all ok with leaving & giving the land back to tribes?
Is there some reason Erdogan is not recognizing it right now? It's well documented. Is he uncomfortable with historical facts about genocide for some reason. 🤔
Hey, if you got it, bring it on.
Cool
Yes and?
Please do
Yes, do it please.
Now we're talking!
Good
Freedom4HDP2017's account has been withheld in Turkey in response to a legal demand. Learn more.
docrocktex26 Figures we got the only skainy tin pot dictator ever. Trunk is such a wuss.
Good. Go ahead. I recognize both. See how easy that was?
Yes, and?
Good.
Understandable, have a nice day
Please do. Most correct thing you’ve ever done, Turkey Tom.
. And … this is a “threat” exactly how? I’m not getting it What does Erdogan do for an encore: “recognize” American slavery?
Outstanding. Mr Erdogan, please also pass a resolution addressing the rivalry between Cartman and Kyle.
Freedom4HDP2017's account has been withheld in Turkey in response to a legal demand. Learn more.
Great! All genocides should be recognized, so we can work to prevent more from happening.
RTErdogan Fucking do it.
Please?
That goes without saying but I’m all for saying it.
docrocktex26 LOL. This country is being shit on by governments that wouldn't have dreamed of doing it before. Turkey, really?
KimKardashian
Great now do the Kurds, immigrats from Central and South America, and blacks.
That's a great idea
Ok....
samswey Reparations
Go for it. It’s true.
Only win-win I can see in this situation
He’s welcome to. Unlike a Turkey, this nation has begun to grapple with the genocide perpetrated in our names. We welcome Turkey doing the same.
docrocktex26 Don't forget the slavery
RTErdogan please recognize the slaughter of Native Americans as genocide. We will recognize the Armenian genocide.
Hell yeah.
Uh, what was he calling it up to this point?
It would make sense.
Okay, sounds good.
Welcome To The Resistance! RT Turkey's President Erdogan threatens to recognise U.S. genocide of Native Americans in response to U.S. Senate passing resolution recognizing the genocide of Armenians by Turkey. breaking news MondayMotivation
Sounds good to me. We’re not a perfect, sinless nation in the USA.
Just one problem, we don't actually care
K
docrocktex26 So what. And he did what about it prior to this moment? Jack and Squat. Maybe while he’s at it- he can send more Turkish thugs to beat up American citizens and also 🖕
Well, that’s fair enough.
samswey
I don’t understand this. So the title is him recognizing the US genocide on native Americans, which I mean it happened prior to United States forming. But has the United States itself actually commit literal Genocide on the natives? I don’t really think so.
So what? It is true.
Yes and?
Fuckin A, boomer!
Do it
LaurenDownSouth Go right ahead
oh man is the honeymoon over between Trump and one of his dictator baes
docrocktex26 As well he should.
Yeah dude everybody in America recognizes that happened
good it should be recognized.
Ok
Well he’s not wrong. We should also include Australia in there aswell with the genocide or the near extinction policy they used with the Aborigines.
Does he think we disagree?
brooklynmarie K
It’s true so ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
I’m good with this
Which would mean what? Turkish children might learn more American history than American children?
HollyCB2112 The truth is the truth.
Please do. It would be really needed, and all nations should pressure the US government to make proper restitution for the genocide of Native Americans. Will these mean he’s going to reckon with the Armenian Genocide, or is it just other nation’s crimes he cares about?
Ok... It's not like we keep it secret
Ok.
The truth shall set you free, Erdo
That'll show us!
TinaMarie_80s The WORLD knows the history of the genocide of the Native American people it is taught in schools Erdogan should be releasing the Jamal Khashoggi tapes , instead he is protecting murderers that need to be held accountable and to bring justice to JK
Most American recognize that already... damn buffoon...
Deal.
Do it coward
It's about time someone did and put to rest, once and for all, the ridiculous notion that Lincoln was some kind of American hero. He was a monster.
brooklynmarie He doesn't seem to understand how this recognition of genocide thing actually works.
Awesome!
Good let’s have a “do the right thing” arms race.
yep, he should probably condemn slaves too
Turkish nationals now furiously Googling “don’t throw me into that briar patch” references. 😂
Be my guest
brooklynmarie Please do. Plenty to go around.
No one cares. He might as well declare Thumb War.
This seems like it would only upset the wrong people. Do it. Let them be upset. History matters.
'This is fine,' say Americans.
Most humane thing he would ever do. Go for it.
Perfect! We should all recognize it!
Poor thing thinks we’d mind. Nope. I’ve been studying about it for 45 years. It happened then and now. It was and is wrong.
Um. Already done that skippy
por que no los dos
brooklynmarie Ok so where is the threat part?
brooklynmarie Promises promises
Okay, sure.
Do it.
Great!
Yeah, I'll take it.
Go for it
I mean, ok?
why_not_both.gif
That would be a good thing, right?
Yes, please do.
Then you have the Irish Genocide from the famine era too?
......go for it?
Completely justified.
Please. Go for it.
Do it bitch
No problem with that.
Go for it buddy, someone needs to call out that bullshit. Abolish Columbus Day and make it a day for learning about all the people and cultures white colonialism destroyed.
Deal.
good
We already recognize it. One can argue we should do more to make up for it, but at least we acknowledge that it happened.
Ok
He should, and so should the US Government (2010 doesn’t count. Whereas...)
Fair.
Um yeah
Oh no?
AricToler Tell him to go ahead. The truth is the truth.
Ok?
...We have no objections to that. It's factual.
Entirely fair
Deal.
Now do the Armenian Genocide.
Um...Please?
Good
He should do that anyway. Throw the Brits in for good measure
Please do
AricToler And... it was.
Works for me, because it's the truth.
Uhh, we already have for the most part.
CorbieCrow Far more than a moment. Genocide by anyone is evil.
He absolutely should. 👍
Be my guest.
sure bro, go ham
Sure
Custer and John Wayne would be very confused by this
I mean, go ahead.
That only bothers Trump Republicans at large.
As it should be..l
As an Armenian, I strongly support this
okay.
How about let's all recognize both the Armenian Holocaust and American genocides together
Ok. And? We did...to our shame. We shouldn't hide.
Good. We must remember ALL genocides to prevent future ones. Call out evil, every time.
I mean... show me the lie here.
i mean i'm ok with this. someone has to if it's not us.
So be it.
threatening us with the truth
Recognize the genocide anyway.
Go for it, big boy
I'm cool with that.
Great. Do it. Please.
I'm fine with this.
I'm fine with that.
Maybe we could beat him to it and face facts
Wtf I love Erdogan now
i unironically support both the recognition of the Armenian genocide and the genocide of the native americans do it, erdogan
Did he mention anything about how Australia treated the Aborigines
How about the whole world does that?
Good, we are guilty.
If he's trying to convince us the armenian genocide didn't happen, shouldn't he have threatened to recognize some sort of fake genocide instead of a real one...?
BREAKING NEWS: Erdogan is apparently a Twitter troll practicing really really obvious whataboutism
Lol give them their own medicine
Do it
Dope
Ok.
Okay.
now if only the US Gov't would do the same thing.
The fact he never did this before is appalling. I don't like that he's doing this for petty political points instead of actually recognizing the Native American genocide because it happened. Disgusting how human rights are often punted like a political football.
By all means.
okay
Deal.
Sounds good to me. Let’s also add in the kids at the border dying of the flu while we deny them flu shots or doctor visits or a hospital. ......hmmmm
Difference is I'm fairly sure the US government has apologized for the governments treatment of Native Americans. No, it's not a lot, but it's more than Turkey has ever done. They still deny the Armenian Genocide ever happened.
Well...
Yes please! Long over due!’
As an American, I am perfectly fine with recognizing one of this country's original sins as a genocide because it was.
OK. They were disgusting and shameful chapters of our history but that doesnt mean it didn't happen. Also that mass kidnapping industry and generational enslavement that built our economy. I can keep going bc there is more. We've done good stuff too, but lots of reprehensible
This would be a good thing because it is true. Disgusting, horrible, but true.
He's got a point
Please do. I mean Erdogan is a piece of shit but yknow, the Native American genocide was a real thing and possibly one of the most shameful things the US has ever done
the whole world should in all fairness
Let’s do it!
About goddam time.
Good
Bernie sanders should steal this one
sure.
At least somebody’s recognizing it
Deal 🤝
Pretty sure we already recognize that we were shits to the Native Americans...we royally screwed them.
Sounds good. Done.
And? The US did engage in genocidal actions against Native Americans, including providing them with smallpox-infected blankets and killing off the buffalo to deprive the indigenous population of a major source of food and other essentials.
Americans recognize the genocide of Native Americans.
Do it. It was. Doesn’t bother me a bit.
Okay?
Please actually do.
Ok.
That’s fair.
Ok
It is a shame on everybody that that hasn't been done yet
Go for it. Because (a) it’s true and (b) he’s basically admitting to genocide of the Armenians.
Sounds good. Thanks, chief.
RTErdogan go for it! US needs to be held accountable for its misdeeds. That's how we got this country. Killing of some of my ancestors while the other ones learned how to share and get along.
Well, we did genocide the native Americans so...
How is this a threat?
Like kids.
Good.
Ok
Please do
This would be a good thing
Sounds good
I’m ok with that. I mean, he’s not wrong.
AricToler About time someone did.
Not wrong
He’s a fascist war criminal so his saying the right thing for a spectacular change, does not impress me.
Ok. 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah, we know
Seems fair.
Oh no not that
Do it!
yeah that's fair
thegrugq OK...
After some heavy thought I’ve decided that I’m 100% okay with this
Well, seeing as how that’s true, what’s the issue? Are we supposed to feel scared of the big Turkish boogeyman?
I mean...ok
I'm cool with that.
Can we just do it ourselves?
I mean...fair point. The town I went to college in was named after a guy who gave Native Americans smallpox blankets...
Ok
Good. More truthing, less bullshit mythologizing.
It's about damn time!
😂 Please do! Moron.
Good.
And?
Sounds right
That seems appropriate.
Fair
Yup.
fair game
Sounds awesome he should do it
Um… okay? Is that supposed to be a bad thing? Because we did commit genocide against the Native Americans, and we do need to acknowledge that and make reparations and stop screwing them over.
runPattirun This is just a fact isn't it? Not really a debatable item.
AricToler Fine by me.
Someone needs to.
Seems fair.
This is cool with me
Okay.
So Erdogan finally doing something good!
Good
Please do.
Sounds good to me
Fine with me.
And.....
Okay.
Do it you cowards
Do it
Turkish whataboutism.
He's not wrong
cool
Lmao sure let's fucking go!
Love how he assumes Americans would be outraged by this the way Turks are outraged by anyone recognizing the Armenian genocide
Wtf I love erdogan now
If they are wrong it is needed to be proved wrong, threatning of a genocide is shameful.
Wow never thought I’d agree with an authoritarian despot 🤣🤣
Sad but not untrue
All countries should recognize the US genocide of the native Americans as well as the Armenian genocide.
You won’t, no balls.
I'm good with that. It's not a bad thing.
Trump met his match.
selingirit Tell you what: Let's everyone recognise past genocides, ethnocides and other forms of violent oppression and more importantly, stop doing it again. So Mr Erdogan - withdraw from N.Syria leave the Kurds in peace today and stop your campaign of ethnic cleansing against them.
Ok
Ok.
I mean, that's fair.
Uhm, OK. It's absolutely a piece of our past we should reckon with.
It is possible to do both
Ok
That would be fine by me
It's funny how he seemed to think this would turn people off? Wonder why.
IIRC Native Americans are genetically traced to Anatolia/Central Asia. Been a while, though, for a throwback extraterritoriality claim, but you never can tell with some people.
Yeah, so? Go ahead. It happened. We accept reality in this country and learn from it.
perfect! go for it! both are accurate
I don't see the problem since both things are true.
Go for it man
.... uh
Please do.
Is that a threat? Cause it sounds more like something everyone wants.
Do it
k
WalkingInAustin This has been on-going for decades. US tells Turkey they need to recognized the genocide they deny, Turkey does likewise to the US.
That's fine.
Is this something we ask people to not recognize?
Great do it
Seems like a win-win
Do it
And...?
Good. Transparency TruthAndReconciliation AboutTime
Hardly a threat. The truth is never a threat. First reasonable thing from him in a fair old while.
All governments should have recognized genocide of native americans and genocide of aboriginals !
Oh no. People would be acknowledging truth because you acknowledged truth. Woe betide.
He’s an ass but he’s 100% on the money here. Barely 2% of the US population is NativeAmerican, where did they all go?
Is that a threat or a promise?
I mean. Good?
Not the briar patch
it's extremely World Politics to threaten a country with writing down the atrocities everybody already knows you did and does nothing about
let’s do it, the Trail of Tears stars at Ross’s Landing in Chattanooga TN what time does he want us there?
Ok buddy
He should actually take that further and recognize that it's still ongoing.
Please do
Weird way to compare that thing you desperately don't want called a genocide to something pretty widely regarded as a genocide
Good!
Go right ahead. What we did was wrong.
Ugh! What a rascal!
Ok. And?
We should recognize it instead of the fairy tale about Columbus.
WeTheInternetTV The difference being that the Federal Govt. of the United States never gave an order with the intent to commit genocide.
It is not in denial; it may not have been properly reconciled with but it certainly is widely admitted.
please do
Sounds good king
Yes. This country needs to open this wound wide in order to heal. We need to stop pretending our country didnt do terrible, horrible things.
Ok
US doesnt exactly deny it so not sure what he thinks that will accomplish
Oh, yeah, Turkey!? Well, we Americans say— Uh...g’ahead. Really. Not many Americans would be against this. And it’d give more traction to swapping out Columbus Day for Indigenous Person and/or Election Day as nat’l holiday. So, Turkey: have at it.
Sounds good to me.
How is that a threat?
Do it
Bring it on!
Woke Erdogan
rma173 Fine.
I don't see the problem here
Let's get real wild and start recognizing all atrocities.
🙄Threat...... Will take a promise.
Hang on: is this a tacit admission that, like our numerous atrocities against the indigenous peoples of the Americas, Turkey’s genocide of the Armenians is also real, just an uncomfortable thing the authorities don’t like to discuss?
oh...no?
No problem with that.
and? there was genocide committed against Natives, against the Armenians, against the Jews. it's not exactly shocking that these things happened, it's more shocking that these things keep happening
Good
...good?
Fair.
Seems fair to me!
sure
lol ok
I mean sure ya
He knows this will piss off the white nationalists running the country.
Might as well have everyone call each other out on their shit
I’m fine with that. It’s true
OK. Good! We all should!
Why not both of them?
Why is this a threat? Do people not already recognize that a genocide took place in the U.S.?
WeTheInternetTV Can we all just recognize we are all just descended from massive piles of feces and move on and make the world a less big pile of feces?
Ok and?
ObiterDictum101 Good. We did it. It needs to be called what it was.
Sounds good. Best thing Trump ever caused.
Please don't throw me in that briar patch.
Lmao hell yeah dude you do that
Please do
I’ll take that deal.
I'm okay with that recognition. Frankly it's time the US quit denying it.
Well, Americans agree, so go ahead and agree with us. We did some awful stuff.
That sounds good!! Native Americans sure have waited long enough
? What's the problem here
Yes please. Let's recognize all of the genocides
Who cares how we get there. It's about time. Then let's acknowledge this nation was built on slavery. Maybe then this country can move forward.
Do it
This sounds fair. I say 'please do it'.
Okay, that one is true also.
Go for it.
Which is basically his admission that Turkey did, indeed, carry out ethnic cleansing.
Erdoğan has to be one of the most pathetic politicians in the world EVER
Based
Does he think we’re not aware of that ?
Okay. Sounds fair.
And......? US has done many things it’s not proud of but at least it learns from it’s mistakes. Well except in 2016...
good
ObiterDictum101 He should and it was.
Lol. This is a threat? Ok, then.
ButNoPotato
Sounds good to me
good
Oh no...please....not telling the truth...
do it you tobacco smoking coward
I’m cool with that.
👑👑
About fucking time.
go for it
Recognition of all genocide acts are only right, tbf
FINALLY!
Do it
Do it
Go for it. Americans recognize the US genocide of Native Americans
AricToler He’d have to start with the French and Dutch trappers who spread their cooties first
AS THE WORLD SHOULD!!!
Deal
LOL, go ahead. American's admit responsibility for that.
I’m OK with that
He's threatening to acknowledge historical fact?
please do
Works for me. Should I send him my email?
At this point does anyone not see that as a recognizable fact. If so, they need to start living in the real world.
Touché
Sure, why not?
AricToler Sounds good
Is that even disputed?
Oh no
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, welcome to the resistance.
Finally someone does
Please do.
ok
alright
Truth is truth.
Do itttttt
I..I mean that’s fine?
Cool
This is correct, I have no problem with this, every country should, and they should bring it up every time some ghoul at the state department opens their shit filled mouth to talk about human rights
Do it you coward
Go ahead
humanity wins
Well it's about time someone bloody did
naomirwolf Quid pro quo, Donny Boy.
Totally cool with that.
Wtf is wrong with that guy ?
😂
More international recognition of this atrocity committed by the government of the United States would be welcome.
coreypein Seems reasonable to me
NATO should just kick Turkey out. Stop appeasing Dictators!
naomirwolf That’s fine.
LOL, next he'll be asking the Germans to recognize Frederick's beating the hell outta them at Iconium and looking for 'reparations'
Dr_BoAbrahamsen And he wouldn't be wrong.
Yes. He would be right to do that. CC Redskins
Sounds about right
