We saw during the visa showdown that those showing Turkey the “iron fist in a velvet glove,” did not consist solely of the U.S.’s little ambassador in Ankara.
The “embedded elements” “working for Uncle Sam,” from the writer saying “our history’s second Midnight Express is waiting ready on the first platform,” to the politician blaming Ankara, saying “The U.S.’s visa ban would cost us 50 billion,” have all taken action. Those making a riot saying, “We have become disconnected from the civilized world,” and pressuring Turkey rather than the U.S., are also included in this group of “Western dubbers.”
