Unfortunately, I think their congress is very well aware of what they are doing. A strong and powerful Turkey is not in their interest (especially not after the Turkish-Israel crisis). Erdogan might be delusional at times, but he is right on this one. This is nothing less than an attempt to no allow Turkey to become too powerful. Economic attacks, F-35 blockade, YPG are just tools to achieve that.
Agree with this. This is efforts to curtail Turkish independent policy and strength.
The West would rather have a puppet like Egypt or Jordan than a truely independent Turkish state.
Keep in mind, WW1 was only 100 years ago.
These sanctions are not really surprising when seen in that context.
Turkey is being singled out. The pastor is just an excuse.
