How can you be pro-Turkey and pro-Armenia at the same time? I'm not even talking about Armenian genocide but Azerbaijan and Turkey are extremely close allies.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Honestly, this makes a lot more sense than people give credit to:
She's a Turkish Israeli, so that explains pro Israel/Turkey and anti Palestine/Kurdistan.
Being pro Russia makes sense since Russia is mostly friendly with Turkey and until recently pretty friendly with Israel. This would also explain being anti Ukraine. She could also just sympathize with people in the Donbass.
Being pro Armenia doesn't make that much sense until you realize people in Turkey don't necessarily hate Armenians on a personal level even as they deny the Armenian Genocide. Also, there's a wide perception that Armenia is a pro-Russia country (it's not especially given the borderline treacherous actions of their Western boot-licking PM).
Being anti Azerbaijan is just her not liking Azerbaijan invading and ethnically cleansing Artsakh. There's a geopolitical dimension to it that doesn't make that much sense (Azerbaijan being a Turkish proxy state), but she could just be someone who supports Turkey on a cultural level rather than a geopolitical level.
Being pro Alaska is just her believing Alaska should belong to Russia.
Being anti Joe Biden just means she has at least two brain cells.
Overall, this is an entirely coherent set of pro-/anti- during the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia in 2020. In the 3 and a half years since, it needs some updating, but the general gist still makes sense.
