Unfortunately, Turkey's moves were severely limited by a US-based quasi-religious sect named FETO/Gulenists. They were behind the failed 2016 coup attempt in Turkey. During the crucial first few years of the "Arab Spring" Turkey was dealing with a lot of internal strife dealing with them and we...

Let's be frank. Turkey "cooperates" with Russia a lot less than we COMPETE with them. We have a common understanding regarding the north of Syria, which was a mutual move to keep the US in check. Other than that, we compete everywhere else, including in Libya. Same goes with Iran. We have too...

Don't believe everything you read on the Internet. Regarding his being "ethnic Turkic" even Wikipedia references an Al Monitor article, an anti-Turkish UAE publication, and some French newspaper, a country that clearly supports Hafter as its "sources". Fact of the matter is that Sarraj is as...

NATO simply wants to end up on the side of the winners, e.g. Turkey/Tripoli/Sarraj. "In an interview with Italian daily La Repubblica on Thursday, Stoltenberg noted that NATO has 30 partners, which on many issues have different positions, but added that Turkey remains an important ally."...

Israel needs to put the brakes on its extremely anti-Turkish policies before Turkey would even THINK about exchanging ambassadors and normalizing relations, let alone doing joint energy projects. Some people in Israel may be realizing Turkey's importance for Israel's future, but that doesn't...

UAE is an insignificant puppet that does the bidding of their Jewish and American masters. And they're LOSING BIG in Libya. Sarraj is no ethnic Turk and he doesn't speak a word of Turkish. He does, however, believe that the best interests of Libya lie with cooperation with Muslim Turkey rather...

Not possible for as long as Israel continues to support the PKK/YPG through the US, aids the anti-democratic dissent in Turkey (e.g. coups, riots, protests) and makes moves against Turkey in the East Med by signing energy deals with the Greeks/Rums. Palestinian issue is only the cherry on top...

Well, the real world is a lot more complicated and often seem to defy logic. Germany, for example, was turned into a wasteland in WW1. Yet in only two decades, they reached a position to conquer all of Europe in WW2. History is full of such examples. Empires rise and fall all the time. I...

Don't believe anything that comes out of UAE propaganda mouthpiece "Al Monitor".

GETTING SISTER ZONED :D :D :D :D :D

Ahhaha. That cracked me up. :D It'll be a looong slumber my brother. This was gold. :D

By the balls? What balls? It must've been pretty damn frustrating to have a lock on a tango for "violating Greek airspace" but LACK THE BALLS to shoot him down because Greece is a small, weak, bankrupt little shithole and Turkey will fvck it up in retaliation.

To me, it sounds like more of the same overpriced bullshit to continue milking the gullible US taxpayer.

Nice looking bird. What is it called?

You may be right. But it all also depends on prioritization. If Turkey deems developing a VTOL aircraft a high priority task, it will be funded. An unmanned VTOL UAV wouldn't be nearly as expensive as a manned fighter, and Turkey happens to have a lot success in UAV design and operation.

Yeah. Maybe. Turkey can probably also upgrade them domestically, further extending their service life. If they can be acquired at a reasonable cost, I don't see why not. Unlikely doesn't mean impossible. Current stand-off between the US and TR is caused by geopolitical circumstances. If Trump...

How much more useful service life do you reckon these Harriers have left?

The world needs the USSR back.

Hey now... Just be glad that the Americans aren't claiming that Iraq's lost WMDs are also in the Wuhan lab.
