If that's the case, let America show us a place

Years ago, I came across a cartoon that drew attention to femicides.

The judge was remonstrating with the suspect, saying, "Damn it, we've grown tired of saying don't stab women in the middle of the street," and  

The suspect retorted, "If that's the case, let the state show us a place."

Before America had even appeared on the stage of history, Kemal Pasha, following years of the First World War and bloody struggles, made all the elements of the imperial powers regret the day they were born.

Afterward, he established Modern Turkey with the Treaty of Lausanne.

Following the Second World War, the new sovereign, America, put countries like England, with whom we had made treaties, in handcuffs.

Out of fear of Hitler, they surrendered to America.

America, too, did not accept the previous agreements that had been made.

Including Lausanne.

It began to play its own tune.

With NATO, which it established after the Cold War, it redesigned both Europe and the Middle East.

Following Turkey's NATO membership, contrary to the agreements it made with the Kemalists of the Republic's first generation, the Yanks focused not on a Modern Turkey, but on a Pakistanized Turkey through the Cold War and the Green Belt project.

It perceived all the revolutions that took place after Lausanne as a threat and, over time, laid the stones for a counter-revolution.

It supported the children of the Hizmet movement, the PKK, counter-revolutionaries, and second republicans.

Finally, it ignited the reactionary fuse at Hisarüstü University, the main source and incubator for enemies of the revolution.  

It seems America will declare that the end of the Republican revolutions has arrived.

Before the year 2025 ends, the fears experienced since the Tanzimat—in other words, for 250 years—will become reality.

It will bury the jargon of the Turkish State, the Turkish Nation, the Turkish Flag, and the Turkish Homeland into history.

Well, it will bury them, but what will it do with the citizens of Modern Turkey?

Will it wait for them to hang onto the wheels of airplanes, or will it show them a place to live?
