except Turkey is only doing that good BECAUSE you have a wise leader like Erdogan
ask your parents about what life was like in the 90s/00s before him

>Bigger population than Germany
>Barely above Poland

No, you're trash Mehmed

>>212475727
Mostly goes to syrians just so they can stay here and not cross the border

>>212475829
Poland is in eu, turkey is not

>>212475829
nah, I kinda agree with OP, Turkey is definitely punching above their weight, they have a lot of industries they're specialized in and excel at, like construction (a large part of highways in eastern Europe are being built by Turkish companies), bus manufacturing or even hair transplantation, which requires having skilled workforce, engineers, doctors and so on.

And most importantly, they have their own domestic capital, big companies created and run by Turks. Unlike eastern Europe where everything belongs to westerners and is here only due to favorable business conditions for now but once they find a better option somewhere in India they will move there in the blink of an eye.

Turkey definitely deserves respect, they are an interesting economic model to be followed by many 3rd world countries who do not have guaranteed capital inflow like eastern EU countries have from the EU.

>>212475941
It should be the other way around

>>212475991
>punching above their weight
Nigga they're a huge country with a population the size of Germany, I don't think you know what "above their weight means"
Sweden is an actual example, they have 10 million people (including illiterate muslim refugees) and they have a huge tech and arms industries, they produce their own fighter jets and submarines. Turkey is doing average

>>212475829
>barely above
458k dollars is bigger than denmarks gdp bro

>>212475991
forgot the most important
in eastern europe all women work and contribute to GDP
in turkey most women don't work for religious/cultural reasons
but if they allowed them to work, their GDP would skyrocket by 50% overnight
turkish potential is insane, just it's kept down by islam

>>212476043
>above their weight
this "weight" includes political, geographic and cultural factors as well
they're a muslim country located in the middle east, not in the EU, without natural resources, with little arable land
their "natural" level is being something like Egypt or Pakistan and if they're so much better than these countries then it already counts as their own achievement

>>212476135
Cool it with the islamophobic remarks

>>212476047
>2x population of Poland

Nah you're shit, even if you're the "civilized" islamic nigger, you're still a sandnigger.

>>212476221
Look who's talking

>>212476257
>A "German" cocksucker runs into defense of Islamists


Very unexpected.

Also Turkish diaspora also deserves respect, they never assimilate to the host country's culture but staunchly preserve their original identity, lobbying for their country wherever they live + reinvesting their money back home.

I wish our diaspora was like that too, but sadly the very first thing they do after moving to another country is trying to become more western than westerners themselves and all they do is shitting on Poland. And their children don't consider themselves Polish anymore.

Meanwhile, once Turk, always Turk, even in 4th generation. Actually funnily enough, every new generation of Turks in Germany feels more related to Turkey and more proud of their Turkish heritage than previous generations did.

Why are you malding nigga just keep eating potatoes

I'm a native German racist. I'm just also racist against slaves like you and couldn't help but point out the idiocy of you making this statement. You probably make comments like "As a European" on youtube as well.

>>212476661
Nice reading comprehension retard.

>>212476477
Turks in europe can't lobby shit. Kurds and armenians are way better at that shit

>>212476916
>Kurds and armenians are way better at that shit
maybe they're better per capita but still Turks can lobby a lot simply due to the size of their diaspora
and most importantly - Turkish diaspora is united and always works for the good of Turkey
I cant say the same for my people, most of them simply stop giving a slightest fuck about Poland once they get out of the country because they want to assimilate and just become regular Germans, Brits and so on
They specially avoiding teaching their children Polish language because they want them to speak only English/German etc. without a trace of a foreign accent so they could be finally seen as native westerners.

>>212477209
True because turks hate when someone denies their roots. Mesut Özil is the prime example. When he was successful, he said he was feeling more german than turkish and the turkish passport was just a document. Everyone fucking despised his ass. Since he fucked up, he started larping as a turkish nationalist and noone is believing his bullshit now.

>>212476043
>Nigga they're a huge country with a population the size of Germany
And in a super unstable area and dealing with multiple states.

>Sweden is an actual example, they have 10 million people (including illiterate muslim refugees
Redugee population is small and Sweden was a former empire that held areas like Finland under its control and modernized pretty well with consistent academic output. Also overall pretty nice neighborhood

>>212477615
yeah
meanwhile Klose doesn't give a shit about Poland and he considers himself 100% German and people here, even if sometimes a bit salty about that, generally didn't care that much either

I think Merkel is a better example - she's quarter Polish but she never did anything good for Poland, well, she generally tried to hide their ethnic origin and that she's not a full-fledged German. If she was quarter-Turkish I'm sure she wouldn't shut up about it just to collect more Turkish-German votes. Meanwhile playing on Polish-German sentiments wouldn't work because Poles abroad do not vote for their own people, do not support each other and do not care about anything but themselves

we generally have a saying that if you're abroad you have to avoid other Poles because they will be the worst for you, you can even expect more compassion and help from a German nationalist than from another Pole in Germany
