The reality is that most people for most of history could not read nor write, that was for the ruling classes primarily or the class who had the money and status so their kids could learn. Rationally only the ruling classes could have turned these religions any religion into a state function...

absolutely brainless diplomacy, but its ak party its to be expected.

To me it looks like during these winter months that its a strategy to let Russians waste their energies over fighting in the worst conditions. You look at the deliveries and planned delivers to come with tanks and what not, the backers of Ukraine made a call for Ukraine to play defensively until...

The Turks and Vikings kind of did the same thing, they conquer a region and then adopt the local culture. Turks pretty much did this everywhere they went. What kept the Turkish language alive was not so much the ruling class of the Turks, but the fact the common Turks spoke that language. A big...

Outside of more drafts and throwing more meat into the grinder does Russia have any other strategy available to them? Ukrainians as the months pass keep getting levelled up with more sophisticated military gear. This levelling up could go on for many years to come while conversely Russia started...

That corridor is also why Azerbaijan will never get the support the Armenia does despite Azerbaijan being pro west. They don't want a stronger Turkic nation/world to emerge in the region. Which tells us Turks yet again which direction we should all be moving towards. But i never thought about...

Was that the incident which led to iranians downing a civilian airliner?

its funny you bring this up because i also feel their is a chance that when the war is over in Ukraine, the US may pressure Ukranian companies not to work with Turkish ones.

You have to keep in mind for the past 300 years the permier European nations had their way with everything, they are continuing to behave this way without realising that Asia is probably the future. Koreans with tanks, Turks with drones, etc step by step their monopolies are being chipped away...

Honestly you can't blame Ukraine, those drones have been sold to an invading power which have 90% been used to murder civilians.

I've been of the opinion for a long long time that the USA will always look to screw Turkiye. The problem is that doesnt mean you make it easy for them. Its like a football match the oppositions wants to score against you, that doesnt mean you take the ball and put in your own net. Joining the...

its like all the bullshit "We can come suddenly one night" when in reality he's begging them for an opening. S400 was a russian trap and the political islamists dived head first into. Just failure after failure from these guys. Greece will be loving watching AK party crippling Turkiye's...

Nothing. All this loud mouth barking is just for domestic consumption, ak party voter love all the tough talk even if their politicians are constantly losing. Get booted out the F35 then go begging for inferior F16's and get rejected and then talk like you hold any cards. AK party politics baby...

"Turkey’s military used the drones against Kurds in 2016. Since then, they’ve been used in Libya, Syria, and Ethiopia, and by Azerbaijan during its war against Armenia. Ukraine bought six in 2019 for military operations in the Donbas, but the drones caught the world’s attention in early 2022...

One thing i notice about a lot of Russian fanboys is how they fail to see the bigger picture. Invading Ukraine for Russia was about competing with America, it wasn't about taking a few Km's here and there only to lose it later due to good will gesture. The Russian invasion basically gave much of...

How many F16's are we looking at initially?

And truth be told you can't sit and watch the americans support the PKK and not wonder if the americans intend to directly attack Turkiye one day. We already had Trump threaten Turkey directly, the military men saying that if we hit the ypg in syria that our troops would become legit targets...

Just over Syria we had america and russia threaten war against us, two nuclear powers. Isreal is at odds with us another nuclear power and the fanatical shia shia regime of iran wants nuclear weapons. It would be negligent for Turkiye not to obtain such means. The only issue is can they be...

The Ukrainian general said in the past that what stopped him conducting more strikes against Russian positions was a lack of tanks. Unless you are changing the style of war completely i don't see anything better then a tank at conducting quick strikes to take a position. Naturally since these...

Its all diverting from my point, my point was that ultimately his comment was a very ignorant driven way to look at things. The republic for all its failings, is much better today with far more potential for growth and achievement then the Ottomans in their last 100 years. The last 100 years of...
