May 16, 2024 Days of clashes between demonstrators and police in French-controlled New Caledonia are fueled by foreign interference, Paris declared on Thursday, as local officials vowed to restore order in the South Pacific...

I'm curious how the Ukrainian refugees in Turkey behave. Don't hear much about them.

Writing signs in another language should be fine but these signs should always be accompanied by very prominent Turkish translations that are visible to everyone and not stuck in small font somewhere to the side. That should be non-negotiable and otherwise you should not be permitted to put up...

Just a correction, Tom Hicks wasn't accidentally given rat poison, he was deliberately given strychnine by his team (which is used for killing almost everything from rats to coyotes) since in small doses it's a performance enhancer (it's been banned since the 1950s IIRC). He also ingested it not...

I'm curious as to how many Turks actually give a damn about the Israeli/Palestinian shitfest as opposed to, ahem, "guests" in the country.

You don't pay engineers to make a weapon look pretty, you pay them to make it functional.

Why in the hell would Azerbaijanis have a positive view of Iran for fighting Israel? We have good relations with Israel, all we get from Iran is drug smugglers and fundamentalist spies trying to create a second Hezbollah.

Eh, I honestly wish we wouldn't do shit like this. It's really not helping our image at all.

Turkish elections decided to take a page from the American ones I see.

Tweet doesn't say that the meeting didn't happen, only that Azerbaijan was in fact consulted in the process and not excluded.

I'm honestly not sure what's going on. First that we had that video about our guys opening fire on the EU observation mission in Armenia which was later admitted to be a hoax and played off as a joke and now this? I really hope our border guard are smart enough not to take the bait.

Greeks can afford to piss off Russia because any invasion will end up going through Turkiye first anyway. :) Reminds me of the Polish joke about asking a genie to make Mongolians invade Poland because it means they end up going through Russia twice.

Genius play really, Biden may be senile and clearly unfit to lead but people hate Kamala Harris even more. If she takes over, Trump is all but guaranteed to win.

I'm not gonna call propaganda because I do not know for sure but I don't really remember any mention of Pakistani special forces during TV interviews. I do know we had volunteers from Pakistan but I don't think any foreign special forces were involved aside from Turkish ones in an advisory...

Evolution was first proposed by academics of faith who viewed it as directed by God. The only place where Darwin's theory truly differs is that he cut God out of the equation. As for getting rid of celebrations, way to remove one of the few days in the year where children can be happy at school.
