Exactly. The GDP figure is an important and strong indicator. There's no doubt about it. However, obtaining military hardware has its own set of rules which are mostly defined by political requirements rather than financial restrictions. There's also another point which we haven't discussed...

You are to America what Pakistan is to China, if you know what I mean...*wink wink* Regarding the topic, the TFX plane will 100% enter Pakistani inventory - one way or another. Islamabad has never breached any security agreement with the US. Don't forget that Pakistan got its first F16s in the...

Asena_Great and Tonyukuk are Central Asians. There was a guy who was overly racist, too, but I haven't seen him in a while now. That particular dude is also from another Turkic country. You see a pattern? 🙃

Hard to believe that we're able to produce satellites like Turksat 6A on our own without foreign assistance. When did we gain the technological ability and knowledge to produce modern satellites? Don't get me wrong, I'm happy, all the power to us but people were so busy following the development...

Exactly. Things were different back in the day. People flat out refuse to believe this but Egypt and large parts of the Arab societies outside of the Arab peninsula were highly secular during that time period. In Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood and their political positions were the brunt of...

Thanks for the advice, Captain Obvious. There are dozens of reports from NGOs and refugee groups basically confirming the data of the Ministry of Interior. To give an example: https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/11/18/turkey-pushes-afghans-back-iran-border Just use Google for more reports and...

What's the endgame here? The weapons that NATO members are sending to Ukraine are by no means enough to push the Russians out of Ukraine. Are we trying to wear out Russia? A nation that is historically famous for enduring inhuman conditions without even caring about the consequences? Where are...

Hasn't changed a bit.

So what? At the United Nations, Turkey voted frist AGAINST the independence of Algeria from the French occupation and than abstained from the vote. Courtesy of our beloved Kemalists. Everyone has one or two skeletons hidden in the closet. You can't bring up old stories again and again to...

Check the facts before jumping to conclusion. Turkey is sending them back - en masse even. Here are the numbers for last year: • 275.000 refugees have been denied entry to Turkey point blank at the Turkish border by our security forces • 120.000 refugees have been deported from Turkey; this...

You're throwing everything together and mixing it up to win the argument. We were talking about a very specific deal about a certain type of missile. The Saudis have never revealed or shared any secret related to any US weapon system purchased by the Saudi military. Period. I didn't demand...

Why in God's name should the Saudis sell our missiles or Know How to Greece? What will Saudi Arabia gain from such a betrayal? No manufacturer of weapons will treat them like normal customers once this happens. Why would they risk their access to defense products on a global scale? Why lose your...

Don't let your emotions cloud your judgment. If you see Greece as our arch enemy, what would you say is Iran for Saudi Arabia? In their case, the opponent has the ability to cause them serious and lasting damage. The Saudis could easily accuse you of funding the Iranian regime given all the...

Number of foreigners in the Republic of Turkey, according to the data of the Ministry of Interior: • 3.6 million Syrian refugees • 1.4 million foreigners with residence permits • 300.000 refugees from other countries Basically no one except Syrians (and probably Ukrainians) are getting refugee...

He's just hurt and you would be too in his position. Having said that, I'd exchange Kılıçdaroğlu against 10 million Ağa Şers in a heartbeat. lol

I feel you and understand your pain. I don't know a single Turk who harbours hatred for the Afghani people but the decisions lately taken by the Taliban are unforgivable. Even Islamists in the Middle East are shaking with their heads. The situation is out of control and the constant attacks on...

Unbelievable what Pakistan has done to herself. My heart is aching.

Southern Cyprus is much more vulnerable to our military than Greece. They will never ever join any war against Turkey unless we attack them. FACT.

Absolutely. There's not going to be a spillover effect as long as the illegitimate regime in Southern Cyprus stays neutral.
