Oracle, interesting how you have a quote by Alexander of Macedonia at the bottom of your messages- one of the greatest known expansionists of all time. Look at the quote and what that means to TCs, and deem yourself a valid critique on the concept of expansionism.For a Greek it is admirable quality then eh, worthy of respecting its perpetrator.
You hypocrite. Aboslute hypocrite.Oracle wrote:
There's a time and a place for everything. And Turkey's Expansionist policies are Anachronistic! As are its Apartheid policies.
So it's OK if it was long ago or whatever - as long as it was done by someone you admire, but not if it was the Ottomans or Turks doing it?
Hypocrisy at its best.
Who said anything about OK? Unless you have some way of changing the past there's nothing we can do about the processes which shaped civilisation to it's present state!
For example, no one condemns Britain for the slave trade because it has ceased this practice (and has apologised).
The objection is with those who repeat unacceptable behaviours or continue them. Such as expansionism, enslavement and racist discrimination. All practiced by Turkey in Cyprus to this day!
