Do you understand what i was trying to show by comparing the last 100 years of the Ottomans to the first 100 years of the republic, to someone who wants to claim everything was great under the Ottomans and everything terrible under the republic? The last 100 years of the Ottomans was a...

In the Ottomans last 100 years as an EMPIRE they lost wars against the bulgarians, greeks, serbs, albanians, british, french, italians, austrians, not to mention getting constantly slapped about by the russians. The republic was built on the ruins and failures of the Ottoman empire. Almost a...

I think when all is said and done AK party would have played the game so bad that Turkiye will end up being booted from NATO. Then AK party will continue the sell that russia is our best friend.

Once you mentally come out of the trap and start being able to critically asses the situation at hand its impossible to go back to seeing it how it was. When i was a kid i used to watch the news thinking i was being informed, i watch it now and i know its nearly always pure propaganda that is...

In england I've noticed that many skilled Turks are looking to leave the country, do we have any idea as to the extent of this brain drain?

I still suspect Turkiye will send some tanks but they won't advertise it. I would also suspect that once america elevates the war to where even F16's being sent is acceptable i see Baykar sending Akincis to Ukraine too. In the early days Putin was threatening everyone not to get involved and...

yeah and we sabotaged Turkiyes arguments, why allow the Russians to keep winning over such obvious things. Ok, Russia may have played sweden, does that mean we get played too? Our aim has to be to reveal the real face of the PKK to the common european, only then will the governments of such...

When you look at this war the day one drones, manpads and anti tank weapons were critical in stopping Russia form a quick success. The Himars were game changers that allowed Ukraine to reverse the gains Russia made. The next package of Patriots, modern tanks and fighter jets is probably going...

From a Turkish perspective we have done our part to counter the soviet union and Russia at great cost and risk. We were also one of the few nations that was with Ukraine from before the war started, most european/nato nations didnt enter the game until they saw it was safe to do so. Lets be...

rationally its not something that the government of Turkiye should have even got involved in. We have Turkic Uyghurs rounded up daily and shoved in chinese concentration camps and our government and media don't want to talk about it. A dude burning a book in his own country whether legal or...

Its interesting though these sorts of events always seem to take place to help erdogans election campaigns.

then people like AK party will come along and try to undermine it just like they have undermined the constitution and the Turkish military. These guys want to a create monarchy.

What should have happened over this burning incident was the Turkish governments comes out and says something like this. "We respect sweden and its people, we have a turkish community who lives in sweden and they love the country. Our friendly relations go back hundreds of years. (bring...

Remember AK party is a populist party, what harms the nation doesn't matter to them. What helps their election they do it, just like holding sweden out because of islam or making the agia sophia a mosque. I just hope AK party doesnt turn this into another s400 fiasco, where they create ideal...

The real problem is that outside of Tukiye no one can challenge europe, or russia. If 4 countries in the Muslim majority nations were at the level of say italy, they wouldnt want to create a scene fearing it could effect them economically, but because most of the muslim world if were being...

Basically this war ends when America decides it ends. I've got to imagine F16's will be the final nail in Putins coffin. What a colossal fiasco this invasion turned out to be for Russia.

And the enemies of the republic exploit it to its fullest.

because AK party wants to turn Turkiye into a theocratic dictatorship where their spawn rule indefinitely. Its quite obvious that AK party don't give two shits for the wider islamic world, what they care about is securing their political rule forever within Turkiye. If that means the entire...

I would be willing to bet that in the background over these planes, the US and UK are coordinating a strategy concerning Turkiye.
