    I thought surely it must be satire, but this was legitimately posted on his Facebook account. I have no words. I guess we're trying to bring back Byzantium now

    US's writers have gotten really lazy since season 240 or so. It's like they turned the whole show over to a Poe's Law bot. I keep hoping for something good...there's interesting fan fic, but they never seem to follow up.

    Does he not realize that the Hagia Sophia is not under the control of the US in any way, shape, or form?

    If I had to guess, I'm assuming this is coming from the seemingly common belief amongst the crowd of a certain political persuasion that Christians are the most persecuted people in the world ever, and that Muslims are trying to kill us all or convert us all to their religion?

    Motherfucking abrahamic religious fucknuts who apparently worship the same god always infighting thinking they're the "better" religion.

    God, if he's real, must be rolling his eyes and simultaneously facepalming so hard right now.

    Global north always does this.

    US bombs some country in middle east, the people there fight back as self-defense, US says they are fighting in name of religion, and then US commits war crimes there in name of "spreading civilization."

    Just using same rhetoric used against native americans. And people can't progress during war so US uses that to justify occupation.

    That's really what's on America's mind. The Hagia Sophia.

    Muslims got Hagia Sophia and Christians got Alhambra and the Mosque of Cordoba. Bet he doesn’t want to return those.

    Is he really that stupid? I mean, the intellectual demands in American politics have not been high in the last few decades, but this is a real low point.

    For those who don't know, the original Hagia Sophia was one of the most impressive construction speed-run of all time. Completed in just under 6 years with 4th 6th century tech. They botched it a bit so the roof fell but still very impressive.

    Edit: 6th century tech, first church was made in 4th century, current structure with the speed run was started in 532 and finished in 537.

    What’s impressive is that it’s survived centuries of earthquakes without seriously falling apart

    Yeah, they would have had a clean run if they had made the dome more curved. It was a bit flat and an earthquake took the dome down and destroyed the altar. Still very impressive and definitely been well maintained.

    Southern states breed a type of politician that is what Donald Trump is on a pettier and smaller scale - you could say they were the prototype. Try Ma Ferguson and Alfalfa Bill Murray for stupid fucks that made their way to Governor (Ma Ferguson is probably(?) the originator of “if English was good enough for Jesus, it’s good enough for me”; Alfalfa Bill Murray almost started a Texas/Oklahoma war).

    Sorta like how MTG, and Michelle Bachman before her started. National attention for saying stupid shit = avalanche of votes on name recognition in your stupid home state.

    I would love the US to do that just for the AKP voters in Turkey to see the fact that Erdoğan is the strongest soldier of the American and Israeli imperialism with their own eyes when he remakes Haghia Sophia into a church.

    As someone who lives in South Carolina, there is one small benefit to this guy being such a nutcase, He's distracting Lindsey and his PACs, we've gotten a couple fliers in the mail from Lindsey Graham affiliates calling out Mark Lynch's crazy antics (most specifically his calls to legalize cocaine). Haven't seen one ad attacking the leading Democrat, Annie Andrews. And sure, that will probably pick up after the primaries are over, but I do love watching Republicans waste money fighting each other.

    Feels crazy to see this. But I saw some headline where after Iran, Turkey is next on Israel's list. This could be painting the seeds?
