The only good thing that might come out of this is that the masses might be able to see how much of manipulative liar Erdogan truelly is, which ofcourse means more people voting "No" on the referandum on the 16th of April. He has been barking for years now that Turkey and its backed rebels will...
You know what the worst part is? That the SDF/YPG, a non-state actor that doesnt even officially own any territory in Syria or anywhere else is better at diplomacy on the international stage then Turkey. They made allies with both the US and Russia which is a big achievement on their part. This...
The list is not long because most weapons we purchased were from the US to begin with. Infact being dependent on Israel would have been much better for us in the long run considering they are in desperate need of regional allies and in case of conflicts its easy to assume they wouldnt embargo us...
You didnt actually proposed a proper alternative to NATO. We can stay pissed and hate the west all we want, but the Russian bear is right on our doorstep and trusting them would be the biggest geopolitical disaster of the century. The east isnt anywhere near capable to what NATO or even Russia...
Well recently the UAE started a join venture with the Russian MiG corperation to developed a fifth generation aircraft. If the Arabs throw enough billions at it the Russians might just a consider an equal share, if not majority. Then again you can always join the TF-X if the need is there.
These types of social issues are most common in conservative central Anatolia, which is where i am from. The Western/Coastal regions rarely have these types of social problems. I experienced Western Turkey last summer and its so much then anything you experience in Central Anatolia. I'm actually...
Not even surprized. Really did the project ever even took off? For the past couple years we have been trying to foreign cooperation in the project and when that failed the whole thing just stalled. TUMOSAN is obviously still to young/inexperienced of a company to handle such a big project...
Doubt that. MKEK ceased the production of Panther towed artillery long ago due to problems. Though Aselsan is upgrading the current existing fleet. If the upgrade is effective and succesfull production might resume.
Assad is already practically gone. If you think anyone can maintain power even though they are the cause for a massive civil war then you are all deluded. The process will probably be more slow and dignified. For example he will finish his term and then get diplomatic immunity or something. The...
There is not much to brag about. The situation is a product of the very nature of the politics and people of both countries. The difference however between Greek airspace "violations" is that there is a dispute going on over how much of the Aegean is actually Greek. This is simply irrelevant...
Ethnic identities are social constructs and thus genetic arguments are trivial in this matter. Most identities are simply based on language. Thats the raw thruth of the matter. However genetics shouldnt be completely disregarded. We are Turks, the fact that we have Persian heritage just makes us...
Lol. Russian military presences rarely result into lasting peace. They generally result into complicated geopolitical issues, primarely in the form break-away regions.
This one seriously got me. "Pink Panturks" :lol:
Yup. This thread shouldnt have been opened in the first place. Any respectable human being with brain would know this is nothing then empty rhetoric for empty headed nationalists.
