Looks cool, but I think Euronews needs some geography lessons, as the location of that isn't anywhere near the European part of Türkiye. It is a few hundred kilometers south of Ankara, which puts it very much outside of Europe.

How is this remotely related to anything in Dune?

Very low bar, considering Arakeen is built within a mountain range basin and not on the desert.

If text is in english, please use the english word for the country Turkey. With its new electrified lithiumpowered dykes, Nederland is again lead in fighting the water! Well, guess where i come from!

The official name of the country, also in English, was changed to Türkiye a few years ago.
btw.: why is your account marked as a bot?

Ah that i did not know, thanks for setting that straight. But still i do find the two dots above the u, not real english. I also had to use the /s appearantly with the dutch name.
Why my account is a bot, I have no clue. Last time i felt human.
