According to a report by Israeli paper Yedioth Ahronoth, which cited the Israeli foreign ministry on Sunday, Turkiye blocked Israel from taking part in an annual NATO military exercise focused on resilience, combat readiness and emergency preparedness.

Ankara reportedly did so by using its veto power – as a key member state in the military alliance – to attempt to exclude Tel Aviv, ensuring NATO does not unanimously accept Israeli participation in its exercises.

I agree, it's equivalent to someone saying a joke and then following up with "I'm just joking!" We know you are. Anyone with a sense of nuance picked up on that, by the words you chose to use.

Just like with the spoken word, sometimes jokes are in poor taste or fall flat, but the /s makes every joke fall flat.

Yeah, that would be true if on the internet people were always joking with their shitty takes.

Nothing like laughing a joke when it wasn't a joke

That's the fun thing about the internet, you're free to disregard and ignore comments that don't appeal to you. Life is too short to take everything so seriously all the time. Which leads to the beauty of the reply button, it can lead to clarification, if you so desire.
