Why didnt west express its impression with TB-2s after Karabakh conflict or Libyan war or Syrian operations? People in DefenseTurk commented on the TB-2 videos shooting Russian assets ''this isnt really about TB-2, what we see is Russian incompetence'' Noone would compliment Turkeys defense...

They are trying to pull us into this war. Be awake everyone! Nobody knows how effective TB-2s have been yet. If west rushes this fast to compliment something of us, I would triple check it.

You need capital to spread your message. Turks never had the capital.

They were allowing the Bangladesh transaction wtf happened?

Sipahis were a pain in the neck too after Suleimans period. Celali revolts was the biggest reason Ottomans lost their entire grip on Anatolia. For decades this problem remained. They even had to offer beylerbeyi positions to some rebellious sipahi leaders. After state authority declines all the...

Janissaries werent even devshirmehs but Turks after surpassing 15.000 as a corps. Turks started bribing officials to enlist their children because the corps was so prestigious. Janissaries had no difference to Varangian guards. They were bodyguards of the sultan/generals and policework of the...

https://asiatimes.com/2022/02/turkey-weighs-up-its-options-with-fighter-jets/ Wtf is this analysis? "Turkey is also looking at Russia as an alternative source of key fighter technologies, such as jet engines, avionics, propulsion systems, radars, sensors, ejection seats and data link systems...

This is a Eurocentric take. Allow me to explain why. Asiatic medieval war tactics focused on the strategical dimension, not only the tactical one. What I mean is using the mobility advantage, reconnaisance, logistics. Isolating parts of stretched out enemy army and attacking at the right time...

@Pukovnik7 Kilijarslan I attacked a 50.000 stong crusader army with 6-8000 Seljuks because he recently defeated peoples crusade and expected a similiar peasant army. He still inflicted more casualties 4000 while crusaders inflicted 3000. Then crusaders came to Antioch where an Armenian convert...

I think Ismail was an idiot. According to his own sons words, he was drunk during the battle. 1)They were defeated exactly the same way Aq Koyunlus were defeated 41 years ago. If I were the general of Safavid army, the first thing I would do would be to look into what made Aq Koyunlus lose...

You think USA is a democracy? LMAO!!!! They can stick that press freedom waaaayy inside their butthole. You know the difference between countries like Russia and USA? PR. Nothing else. Elections in USA are illusion. Go watch Fahrenheit 11/9, Michael Moore documentary. He explains it really...

Many meanings we put onto historical leaders usually have nothing to do with historical personality. One good example to this is Joan d'Arc. In the west they made him an icon of feminism(one of the reasons I didnt buy AoE4, at least yet). Real Joan d'Arc was a catholic saint. She would declare...

@Akritas How can you expect us to trust Israeli sources when Israel is literally allied to Greece and Cyprus against Turkey? @Ryder Lets not forget the root of Kurdish problem: The guy in your profile picture, Yavuz Sultan Selim. Before him, Diyarbakir was a Turkmen land. I am from...

I follow reddit and whenever I see an article bashing on Turkey beyond any bounds, it is always JP. Especially in the last 2-3 years. They are obviously politically motivated to be against Turkey.

Now thinking about it, they really skip how USA was also one of our enemies in independence war dont they? I disagree with you on Hagia Sophia. Even countries like Japan saw Turkey as an islamist backward country with that move. Not just Europeans/Americans. That was a wrong move that...

Yoh have no idea. Ottomans strengthened shia shafi Kurds to counter alevi Turkmens. Before Ottomans, southeast Anatolia was a majority Turkmen place. And no Turkey never had a shia minority that wanted independence.

Well we learnt at the end. Secular nationalism is the way to go.

Even at the first crusade, the great city of Antioch fell due to a traitor Armenian convert named Firouz took the crusaders in at night. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firouz Crusader army was about to get crushed between citys walls and the relief army. Some 800 years later, Armenians enable...

Thats what everyone thinks. Though 2 and 3 have a special place in Turks hearts as Yerli brothers gave a salute to home country and finally introduced Turkish dubbing for the first time in an AAA video game franchise.
