Won't the virus that brought down Rome also bring down Kemal's Turkey?

Italy's new emperor, Melanie, is on everyone's lips.

"Rome, Rome," she says.

"Rise up, Rome," she says.

She knows herself that it cannot rise, but she is posturing for political effect.

She tricked a naive, southern peasant boy into having a child with her, and then immediately kicked him to the curb.

She is still blathering, "Rome, Rome, rise up."

In the classrooms of the great Italy—the industrial giant of the 1960s, the cinema of football, the center of world fashion—there are no Italian students left.

When no one heeded the suggestions regarding the number of children, Italy withdrew from world trade.

Just like Greece, which was once the center of world shipping.

Therefore, just as the thousand-year-old Rome collapsed, and the six-hundred-year-old Ottoman and German empires collapsed, the 100-year-old Modern Turkey will also collapse.

It will be invaded.

It will be divided into 3 or 4 pieces.

It will share the same fate as the mighty Rome, which collapsed after years of fame and a wealthy lifestyle.

If you type "Why did Rome collapse?" into Google, it will tell you this:

Immorality, sectarian strife, theft, obsession with power and war, and a declining population.

There are certainly dozens of other secondary reasons.

But the main reason is conformism and the subsequent problem of reproduction.

As the group that climbed the social ladder by taking a share of the country's wealth ignored the business of reproduction, the population decreased, the country weakened, it could not protect its lands, and it became open to invasions by barbarians.

The rest is history.

A similar end awaits Kemal's Turkey.

Modern Turkey, founded in 1923 with the legacy of the Ottomans, has come a long way in the past century.

In ten years, it raised fifteen million young people of all ages.

It built schools, roads, and dams.

It had two hundred doctors, and in a century, it reached two hundred thousand doctors.

Then it got used to comfort.

It reproduced in a controlled manner.

The educated class, however, barely reproduced at all.

The state did not want it to reproduce either.

It saw the wisdom of the ignorant as superior.

It even announced this on television.

The educated sent what they produced to the foreigners.

Therefore, Kemal's Turkey has completed its planned lifespan.

In fact, it lived longer than expected.

Its life, which was supposed to end with the Ergenekon conspiracy in 2008, was somehow extended until 2016.

Modern Turkey came to the brink of destruction in July 2016 with the invasion of short-legged, thick-waisted, apple-bellied, recessed-forehead, fringe-haired, pale-faced Neanderthal barbarians.

Just when it seemed it had completely collapsed, it revived.

If you ask how long this revival will last, I cannot say it will be very long.

In fact, the generations of Kemal's Turkey are still not aware of what is happening.

It is impossible for them to protect their modern country or prevent invasions with one child, or no children at all.

Well, if technology advances in the next ten years, life expectancy extends to 150 years, and the invaders are wiped out by a virus, then the story changes.
