The Redneck Mindset

I saw a statement yesterday. 

Since I know Americans very well, it caught my attention.

Furthermore, the fact that it was the kind of statement that comes to my rescue when I have trouble finding a topic served as a bonus.

In other words, it has its uses.

It is claimed that the US Ambassador to Ankara, an ambassador named Thomas J. Barrack, gave his first interview and said, "For Turkey to return to the Ottoman religion-based millet system, it must be removed from being a nation-state!" 

Did he say it?

I don't think he did.

Because the mental map of Americans is not suitable for constructing these types of sentence algorithms.

They don't understand.

They don't understand the Ottomans, religion, or anything of the sort.

They can never read this geography correctly.

However, they will find a convert to say this as if the ambassador had said it.

Just like in the book "The New Republic of Turkey" published during the Ergenekon process by Graham Fuller.

When I read the book, I didn't see a single sentence containing a code belonging to the American mind. 

It was very obvious that it was written by someone very local.

Then, when I saw that the translator of the book was a rector who was taken away in handcuffs by FETÖ while in office, I realized that the writer and the translator were the same person.

As if written from Fuller's mouth, he wrote his own Afghanistan-style Turkey; the so-called translator is actually the real author of the book.

A bunch of nonsense, as if Turkey should no longer continue its life with children who are Atatürk nationalists, but with the "children of the service."

Therefore, when meeting with Americans, make sure someone is with you who has at least eaten "barbecue chicken" with "hot sauce" accompanied by "country music" even once in Nashville.

If you don't know anyone, ask your friends and acquaintances.

If you still can't find anyone, I know someone.
