I'm sitting here listening to Turkish minister Ahmet Davutoglu, who made a statement right before his meeting with the European Union. He's claiming that Turkey is ready to cooperate with the European Union, and even hinting at becoming a part of the European Union🙂.
It’s either going to be a total non-starter, or—if we're being optimistic—the European Union gets a brand new member tomorrow😁
It’s like... you know how they say what goes around comes around? I guess that’s kind of the idea here. What Grandma Tilo used to dream about is finally starting to look like reality, or maybe I'm just seeing things. It's all coming full circle, I suppose.
I mean, I guess if you look at the map, I can't think of a single country in the European Union that actually wants Turkey to join. It just doesn't seem to be on anyone's radar, honestly.
I guess if you really look at the map, most of Turkey is actually sitting right there in Asia. Like, 97% of the landmass is Asian territory, I think. It’s funny how people always frame it differently, but geographically speaking, it's mostly just an Asian country. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but that's just how the numbers shake out.
I mean, look at Spain. They’ve got Ceuta and Melilla sitting right there in Africa, and yet, nobody actually considers Spain an African nation. It's just... how does that work? I guess it's just one of those things that doesn't quite add up if you think about it too long. Maybe it's just geography being weird. Or maybe people just don't really care to categorize it properly. I don't know. It's just strange, I suppose.
