    Trump is basically the same as Erdogan, and Putin. Same network of "leaders".

    That's pretty undeniable, but the important question is, will European liberals continue to be like Pelosi and Schumer? That's the question that will determine if free Europe has a future. Fascists gonna fascist. It's the rest of government that makes it possible for fascists to rule.

      Europe have offered President Erdogan little resistance

      Yeah.

      Europe, resisting the US is great and all, but y'all need to look in your own backyard, at Turkey, Hungary, and rising alt right parties everywhere.

      It can happen to you, too. And by the time it’s close, it’s too late.

          Just like everything else the GOP says, all those looney, raving conspiracy theories about the "new world order" turned out to be projection too.

              Most European Turks vote for Erdogan.

                Ah, but that would mean Turkey wouldn't be blocking the flow of migrants anymore, and we can't have that now, can we?

                  In case anyone's wondering, there's a few reasons for that. Firstly, of course the subject itself is badass. Secondly composition-wise we have what I call a "dynamic diagonal" which leads your eyes from the main subject to the background following the same line. The subject is back/side-lit with hard light giving an intense contrasty look. Finally, and that's probably the main one, the fog/smoke is lifting up the shadows as you move into the picture away from the camera, making the main subject much more contrasty and stand out from the background despite being overall the same colours/brightness.

                    Depends on how seriously they take things like Trump, le Pen in France, and AfD. Not looking great so far, but hopefully we start seeing something soon.

                      I think Trump will eventually be shown to be more unhinged than all of them.
