People put such an importance on ' meeting up with the group ' I had so many friends where that is all they cared about . where the action was , where the party was , what this person was doing or that person . My brother actually said once that he was feeling sick but HAD to go to a dinner party because all his friends would be there . If you don ' t want to go socailize , don ' t do it . <| sep |> If you think being an enemy of Europe and allying yourself with your primary historical enemyRussia is the way to go . . then you are deluding yourself . The logical eventual outcome of Turkey going rogue against Europe would be radicalization of Turks in GermanyUKetc followed by radicalization of European natives , followed by ultra rightwing governments and once that happens , it is almost impossible to stop a War . You are not winning anything by playing the tough guy , you are just setting yourself up to go to War with Europe , and Russia will not only not help you , but they will attack you when you are weak and take as much land as possible .
