Is Nature To Blame For The Earthquake Deaths In Türkiye And Syria?

Or poor construction standards in a known eathquake region, the Pacific Ring?

Can you imagine the political repercussion if 40,000 died from anything in America?(except viral disease, sheesh!)Heads would roll! Erdogan should be tried for allowing this to happen on his watch. Especially after the quake in '99 and 2011 while Erdogan was Prime Minister.
