O kart 1942-1946 yıllarında dağıtıldı. 2. Dünya Savaşı yaşandığı ve stoğu korumak için bunun uygulandığını bilmiyor olamaz ☹️. Bunu yıllardır tekrarlaması inanılır gibi değil. 3. Dünya savaşı çıksa kendisi de aynı şeyi yapmayacak mı? Vatandaş önünü kesebiliyorsa o daha vahim. twitter.com/trthabercanli/…
Cumhurbaşkanı Erdoğan: Bir vatandaşım önümü kesti ve bana da bir kart verdi. Bu kart 1946’nın ekmek kartı. CHP'nin yönetimi bu. CHP'yi tanımak istiyorsan bu ekmek kartına bakacaksın. Bundan daha güzel ispat olmaz. Benim milletim bir daha bu karne dönemine dönmeyecektir. pic.twitter.com/T5aObewyuT

"Opinion is the medium between knowledge ✍️ and ignorance 🙃" - Plato. So true when it comes to social networks, not to mention fake news. It is wise to pause for a while or more. Too much opinion and too little knowledge 💔
"Poverty doesn't come because of the decrease of wealth but because of the increase of desires" - Plato.
This is how the battles in the Parliament (US Congress) are fought passionately and with the fervor of conviction - loud and clear; blame and shame. The Balkans is not the political epicenter of polarly different interests and all other disagreements. Anyway, listen for yourself twitter.com/FrankMikeDavis…

"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors." ✍️ Plato. "No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth." But, we will not be silenced at any cost 🇧🇦
And we have our own fights in America 🇺🇸 Although, after all politics is not everything. How can I convince myself in that simple truth? Maybe by quoting Plato: "He who does not desire power is fit to hold it." Okey 🥸 twitter.com/Victorshi2020/…
Let’s be clear: Republicans are doing everything they can to strip Ilhan Omar of her committee assignments because they are scared of her. They’re intimidated she is a woman & person of color who isn’t afraid to use her voice. But no matter what, Ilhan Omar will not be silenced.

Balkans is not on this list. It seems also the Balkan countries are yet not aware of their comparative advantages: of all ten I find the UN's contribution to localization the most fascinating, after our general infatuation with the trend of globalization. So, go local 🇧🇦🇪🇺 Or no? twitter.com/UN/status/1620…
