So what was Turkey's price? Debt forgiveness?
Or just another IMF program?

Hey!
Just read it in an article by Korkut Boratav, a member of the
Independent Social Scientists- Economists group Ahmet Tonak
mentioned a while ago. That is, he is one of us.
Quoting from the corporate media, he says:
$14,000,000,000 in return for the passage of 50,000 US troops
from Turkey.
Whether this is what is on the table and whether the US will pay
it or not is not known.
I did not know that the rulers of my country were this cheap.
Shame on these fucking cowards, shame on them.

It's This Way
I stand in the advancing light,
my hands hungry, the world beautiful.
My eyes can't get enough of the trees—
they're so hopeful, so green.
A sunny road runs through the mulberries,
I'm at the window of the prison infirmary.
I can't smell the medicines—
carnations must be blooming nearby.
It's this way:
being captured is beside the point,
the point is not to surrender
