Not quite so funny when you read the predictions of Baba Vanga.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/heres-wha...07.html?ref=gs

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Barack Obama will be the last president of the US: Baba Vanga had predicted that the 44th US president would be an African American, but she had also added that he would be the last one. According to her, he would leave office at a time when the country would be in economic ruins, and there would be a huge divide between the northern and southern states – as was the case during the American Civil War.

Europe will cease to exist: According to Baba Vanga, the continent will cease to exist by 2016, and all that would remain will be empty spaces and wasteland, nearly devoid of any form of life. She is reported to have said that chemical weapons would be used by extremists against Europe.

Muslims will invade Europe: The blind mystic had also predicted that Muslims will invade Europe, and there will be widespread destruction by extremists, which will go on for many years, until the continent ceases to exist. She had also predicted that a Great Muslim War will begin in Syria.

China will become the new super power: As per her predictions, China is set to become the new superpower in 2018, bringing an end to the United States and its economy. According to her, the exploiters (the developed nations) will become the exploited (the third world). In 2011, the International Monetary Fund had also predicted that China’s economy will overtake that of the US in 2016, emerging as the new superpower.

Hunger eradication: Baba Vanga has predicted that hunger will get eradicated sometime between 2025 and 2028.

On to Venus: Humans will travel to Venus, according to the Baba, in search of new energy sources. They might even set up a colony there.

Rome as the capital of the Islamic caliphate: Islam will finish invading the whole of Europe by 2043, and Rome will be the capital of the new caliphate.

Ice caps melting: According to the Baba, ice caps will melt by 2045. The rate at which the ice caps are melting already due to global warming, does seem to suggest the same.

Cloning of organs: As per Baba Vanga’s predictions, body organs will be cloned in 2046, and that would be the easiest method of treatment.

US attacking Muslim dominated Europe: By 2066, the US will attack Muslim dominated Europe using climate change weapon, and will try to retake Rome and bring back Christianity.

The return of Communism: By 2076, communism will return to Europe and the rest of the world.

Underwater civilisations: By 2130, civilisations will learn how to live under water, with the help of aliens.

The death of the Earth: By 3797, everything on Earth will cease to exist. However, humans will be advanced enough to move to a new star system.

Had the UK not backed Turkey and let the Russian’s take Constantinople then it would be Greek and Christian and there would not be the problems that there are today.

Turkey should be chucked out of NATO. That would give Russia the green light.

I would disagree. Turkey is having it both ways, East and West. BTW there is a huge difference between European Turkish and Asia Turkish attitude.

Assuming you are talking about the events that culminated with the signing of the Treaty of San Stefano Constantinople wouldn't have been handed to Greece, they had no gains from the anexations after that war. It would have been either Russia directly or the go-to Russian puppet state on the Balkans - Bulgaria.

And the other superpowers (led by Disraeli/Salisbury) didn't hold back Russia and later amended the San Stefano Treaty with the Treaty of Berlin for the sake of the ailing Ottoman empire - they did it to limit the exponential growth of the Russian empire influence in the region, serving their own countries agendas.

Even if Christian state had taken the whole of the modern day Turkey territory, the population would have been 90%+ Muslim, impossible to convert by any meaningful margin in the span of 150ish years to date barring a Genocide.

Artificially mixing large independant Christian and Muslim communities into one state is disastrous as proven by the collapse of Yugoslavia and the ensuing war in the '90s. So putting Constantinople in the control of the Christian nation might have been even worse than what we have today.
