A few days ago, Turkish President Erdogan announced a boycott of American goods. He specifically mentioned iPhones from Applu and tried to convince the citizens of Turkey that they have their own manufacturers of phones and other electronics, and therefore do not need American companies at all. Erdogan took this step mainly because of the rapid decline in the value of the Turkish currency. The USA, led by Donald Trump, is to blame for this, which imposed economic sanctions against Turkish steel and aluminum. And supporters of the Turkish president took his words about the boycott literally and took to the streets, where they smashed their iPhones.

It is an exaggeration to say that Apple and their iPhones are Turkey's biggest enemy right now. Several videos have appeared on the Internet, and in one of them, after a short speech, a man takes a large stick and smashes five iPhones. At the end of the video, they are left with nothing but a crushed pile of electronics, and it's funny that the classic iPhone ringtone plays in the last seconds of the video. It's hard to say whether it's based on one of the broken pieces, or the actors of the video didn't "sacrifice" all the iPhones.
Turkey's current enemy of the state: the iPhone. Erdogan says the Turkish ppl will defeat the "economic terrorists" the same way the attempted coup was defeated in 2016 when he used the iPhone's FaceTime feature to rally citizens. How ironic. #Play #USD pic.twitter.com/aaVek6e4st

The beginning of the entire dispute between the United States of America and Turkey is the imprisonment of the American pastor Andrew Brunson. Trump imposed economic sanctions after the Turkish side did not comply with his request to release a pastor who is accused of espionage and terrorism. However, according to the US, he is an ordinary man who has a family and has been living in Turkey for 20 years. The current situation is that Apple will no longer accept new orders from Turkey, and even the largest retail chains are already canceling orders at the moment. For example, Dogubank canceled an order for iPhones worth 50 million dollars.
What does this say about the presence of intelligence?
Destroying phones is a gesture. It's about making your opinions visible. And it serves its purpose. It's better than keeping your mouth shut. The destruction of things has been accompanied by many revolutions, and without them, we live in totalitarianism. If they're doing it for something they believe in, that's fine. If all they care about is power, that's a mistake. But it says absolutely nothing about intelligence.
but they do it because they believe in the power of Turkey. They are not fighting for anything justifiable.
Yes, they believe in their power. And for the same reason, it reaches everywhere in the world of the USA. For the same reason, China is expanding its power (only the EU allows itself to be ripped off by everyone and promotes the goals of the US rather than its own). If Turkey believes that it has such power that it can break away from US influence and influence events, it has the right to do so. Why blame Turkey for what almost everyone does? The whole of human history is a struggle for power and money. Perhaps, believing in our power, we should take an example from Turkey and not let everyone make decisions for us not only abroad, but here as well.
@cx: I don't defend US politics, fanaticism and belief in one's own truth and nothing else I've been killing millions of people for thousands of years ;)
I wonder what kind of phone it rang :D
Maybe there was a second round, which is no longer on the video.
Turkey is becoming a real dictatorial country. The scariest part is that young people there applaud it.
And do you wonder what the current capitalist democracy looks like? If capitalist democracy has not met their expectations, they have the right to change. You think they'll be worse off, they don't. Should they be controlled by a domestic dictator, or by foreign states and capital? It doesn't have to be that big of a difference.
let them make the change at home and not drag it out into the world.
(reaction to Self 1.) If the world doesn't want that change, let it build its own boundaries. Resisting the influence of Turkey, which has a relatively weak economy, is not a problem - as long as incompetent people do not rule - and whoever chooses has it. Defending against the influence of states like the USA or China is already a problem there, because their economies are too big. Also, this particular protest isn't because they want to push their changes, but rather because they want to get rid of US influence, so your post about pushing the world is a bit off.
@cx: get involved in politics and take what you want ;)
What does contemporary capitalism look like??
Think of the NEO MARXISM that blooms everywhere but HUMUS!!!
It is true that during the original generation, when values were established, everything was blooming beautifully today, the place of research is being robbed, money is being wasted in PSEUDO SCIENCE.
AND IDIOTS LIKE YOU SUPPORT THE NEO-MARXISTS!!!
Socialism always collapses EVERYWHERE!!!
Capitalism is not ideal and the unadaptable will simply survive, but it isoneIt is the only system that promotes the possibility of moving forward.
When your life sucks, even socialism won't save your ass, while capitalism will teach you to take care of yourself, which is a basic natural law.
Socialism will feed you, take you by the hand and make you a child who can't deal with any problem and the more people become children the more drive The whole thing will fall apart because people can't take care of themselves.
Look at the millennials, they have perfected the construct of socialism, they will not work, they will be the last to do everything, and they will be paid!!!
YES, thank you, I don't want my descendants to experience the koumous again!
You're forgetting that when capitalism was at its best, it was much more regulated than it is today. The fact that poorly regulated capitalism does not work was first realized during the crisis in 1929. After that, capitalism with higher regulations and redistribution worked well until about 1970, when it slowed down and regulations and taxes have been falling since then - but it did not ensure economic growth. On the contrary.
Well, a bit of an animal and not really :)
Don't insult animals here :) Thank you :)
True, sorry :)
And then they go buy new ones.. That's for sure AppI don't mind 🍎 💸💸💸
Apple he already has his money and the monkeys are satisfied with their brutal protest 😬👍 what more can I say
idiot
Sure, human stupidity is a thingonelady But when they come to their senses again/ and if ever.../ they buy a new one Apple will earn…
Especially since they have already paid them from 😂
What's the next one ringing? iPhone ????????????
Will they start breeding pigeons?
Yes Apple will lose a few dollars for apple music and for cloud, but when those who destroyed them have been on Android for half a year, they will buy new ones and Apple will be satisfied that the old pieces will not be in the bazaar, where Apple he has nothing from the sale
Intelligence of Turks in practice 😂
They are breaking it so they can buy the next generation of iPhones :D
Instead of the brain from the Turkish honey cube.
The iPhone ringing at the end killed it the most :D :D :D
This guy breaks other people's iPhones with a hammer and at the end of the video you can hear his phone ringing iPhone in my pocket 😅
The only thing they know how to do is kebab :D So why are ram-fucking mobile phones? :D
and then that there is poverty in the world😂
Incomprehensible 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
And so the Sultan promised better home machines than those from the Amics. I'm curious when and what the first red crescent machine will be 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He mainly promised them greater independence. The fact that no one from abroad will abuse them. It's not just about having the best things. It's not just about giving people comfort and entertainment. Being able to work for yourself, even if you will be poorer, is also a big motivation for many. We too once liquidated or sold our industry because it was better abroad. We got more, we stole it, and we depend on others. We traded the ability to evolve for better chatter. Not everyone sees it as a better solution.
This is the best opinion on the subject. Only the sheep didn't understand that importing overpriced phones that we don't need is destroying our economy. See how self-sufficient we are in food. Not even 50% of the time. We don't use mobile phones. And not only that, we are blackmailed everyday. We are poor in a strong economy.
So CX, you really are a piece of wildebeest. You strongly remind me of a former classmate from elementary school. Also such a brain, hollow as bamboo in fact. Perhaps even the wasp in the ass was more popular than him in class.
Now to the point,
it's not about some stupid phones or tablets, but about the fact that Erdogan completely destroys a state where Muslim and Western culture were able to exist side by side. In short, Turkey ceases to be a civilized country.
When tariffs are imposed, mutual trade is limited, the shops will be empty like in our Comanche days, they will only look through...
And the possibility of working on yourself, very debatable. There were times, unfortunately, when everyone who really wanted to work on himself had to emigrate to the West.
No dictator has ever brought prosperity to his country, although in North Korea, for example, it is instilled in people every day. But the main thing is the national pride and independence that…
He must have hurt his phone 😁😁😁 SET 😁
the difference between stupidity and genius lies in the fact that genius has its limits
Well, now they have complete shit 😂
Erdogan's propaganda…
The new, original Turkish mobile phone will soon be demonstrated by BEKO, following the example of Samsung, it recycles microwaves and washing machines....😆
...but they are idiots...
And who will you benefit from it!?😅
I'm afraid there will soon be a problem other than a broken phone. If the extortionist Turk does not get what he wants, he will start cursing the unjust Christian Europe, open the borders and let in the migratory wolf of his fanatical followers, which he is detaining. It's like a timed bomb. We all know how many Turkish citizens there are in Germany who would breathe for their father Erdogan..
I expect bankruptcy Apple 3…2…1… 😂
It is an exaggeration to say that Apple and their iPhones are Turkey's biggest enemy right now. Several videos have appeared on the Internet, and in one of them, after a short speech, a man takes a large stick and smashes five iPhones.

The fact that the Turks are so stupid that on the order of the leader they break their phone, for which they have already paid the Americans anyway, does not surprise me at all - with Muslims, everything is simply possible.
But I warn everyone who, out of thrift or greed, still goes to Turkey on vacation - when Erdogan starts shouting about enemies from the West, and he is not far from that, the primitive Turks will take hammers and without hesitation break the sticks of tourists like this...
Turkey will go bankrupt. Maybe tomorrow, maybe in 5 years, but it will go bankrupt. 100%Investors have run out of patience with Turkey and Trump only pushed it further by increasing tariffs – the Turkish economy began to falter many years ago and Erdogan fixed it by increasing the national debt, which led tooneAfter all, half of the Western states do, but they are not ruled by a backward lunatic and a religious fanatic, so they still have somewhere to borrow - unlike the Turkish state. Erdogan dealt the final blow to the economy with threats of nationalization - I can already see the idiot who will send billions to Turkey so that crazy Erdogan can nationalize them for him...
Violence is brewing in Turkey, and the first people to be targeted by the mobs' anger will be western tourists - including you and your children!!!!!
Konesomeone sensible! agree
Amen
I'm not a fan of Apple, but this really bothers me
The stupidity of the command.. to destroy your property..
The intelligence of monkeys is incredible. He can now also use tools, for example a stick. It's a shame he can't use his head😁.
Well, he broke the iPhones, but at the very end of the video, he could hear someone calling them, and it was the melody of the iPhone
well, is Google from Asia or Europe?
And now on to smashing Tesla cars. Counting with Windows and Mac and other things.
But the old advertisement is gaining weight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecwTnIOAoak
It is clear that they are deniers. They are not doing any harm to the USA or Applu, but only to ourselves. AppThey already paid for them, what do they do with them next? Applu at the brown one :-D
probably :-D :-D :-D
you it Appthey really painted it :-D :-D :-D
First Turkish, mass crash test.
they are all in harm's way even with their false god 😂😂😂
So honem Czech dealers,,,,,,, make contacts so you can sell like new 😅😅😅🖕🏻🖕🏻
I don't understand the thinking of such vocas 😂😂 I feel sorry for them
I think that we will hear more and more often about such and similar things from Turkey.
I don't feel good about it.
Do you know a Turk, you heathen dogs!?
I read from Tupci, but only then did I hear from Turki 🤔
what could be worse than a fanatical demented ….
Dementors flooding Europe
I don't know what the point of this demonstration is!!!
If someone bought a mobile phone and then destroys it, I don't understand it.
If I want to demonstrate an opinion about the USA as a whole with everything from them, I will not buy anything from the USA, I will not take it!!! Then there will be no reason to destroy anything. If I already buy a cell phone and then destroy it, it doesn't demonstrate anything, only my stupidity. Because the money for the mobile phone is already in the account Appleu. After all, the best demonstration is a boycott, not the destruction of something that I will pay someone for...!!!!
Los dementos…
Nothing against Turks and Turkey. It is their sacred right to do so. Turks are free to make their own decisions. Those Turks who want freedom, democracy, the welfare state, education, etc. will go to the West, as these values do not have strong roots in Turkey. Millions of Turkish citizens live outside their country. Those who want to go with the current Turkish trend will stay and identify with the regime.
I think this is done by the less educated part of the nation supporting Erdogan.
