    The hijab ban and other "culture wars" talking points, the magnitude of the role of Turkiye in re-taking Karabakh, etc etc. these are all deliberately divisive talking points and not worth the time of day. Someone taking out the time of day to lift a finger and bring them up, ought to consider...

    How can Azerbaijan be one nation two states with Turkiye, and not have a side (or prioritization) between Turkiye and Israel. Turkiye should always take precedent over israel, given a conflict or escalation between the two. Right now it is Israel taking the initiative to move towards conflict...

    Pakistan Rethinking Governance in Pakistan

    If you look at a city like Karachi. Its not able to get autonomy and really take off because the corrupt sindh government wants to siphon its resources parasitically. There no longer being a centralized sindh government would partially solve that problem. The areas of the country that want to...

    Pakistan Rethinking Governance in Pakistan

    It is important to sufficiently devolve powers away from the corrupt and disconnected, to the actual stakeholders of resource allocations. Localizing governance, "subsidiarity", could actually be a helpful means to that. Its not a debate of localization vs competence/repsonsiveness. Those two...

    Pakistan Rethinking Governance in Pakistan

    We have the gold standard of municipal governance and autonomy, and special economic zones right across the border in China. However the feudal lords have had too much power for too long, and no interest in anything positive. Just petty thieves. There is a need for a strong technocratic...

    TR Foreign Policy & Geopolitics

    If the agreement requires Saudi Arabia to shift its defence arrangements completely from the US to Turkiye/Pakistan, then it could make sense. If Saudi Arabia will continue to host US troops / equipment, and allow them to operate from their soil, the agreement is strategically incoherent in...

    Live Conflict Israel-US vs Iran War (2026)

    I'd say with the US's difficulty replenishing interceptors, and the difficulty maintaining the injections of oil reserves, both sides are in a bind.

    TR Turkiye's F-35 Project and Discussions

    It's all theatre directed mainly towards the domestic American audience. They are trying to portray Israel as being having less influence and control than it does. Note that he's speaking on Fox News. From the statement by Trump, to this media outing by Netenyahu, you should assume that it is...

    TR Foreign Policy & Geopolitics

    Just because Zionists demonize something, like Islamist groups, doesn't mean they actually find it undesirable or un-preferable. It is a very common tactic to create the conditions to justify your own intervention. You can observe this throughout imperial/hegemonic histories. Simply put, they...

    The cars seem to be good quality, and they are significantly more affordable than western-made EV's. They will probably do well when they come to Canada. There's a bit of noise in that article I think in terms of the reasons provided, I don't think the decision is political having to do with...

    Live Conflict Israel-US vs Iran War (2026)

    The complete degradation of this thread, is the mutual responsibility of this derailment agent 500 and those who indulge him. It is obvious as daylight he has no intention towards objectivity or truth, but someone like this can only exert influence through others buying into that false promise...

    Honestly I don't think this guy is just a cook, this is deliberate conditioning for the arrival of the actual anti-christ. This guy is just a Temu pre-antichrist who functions as a harbinger to the real thing.
