Ignoring the rather questionable painting of all Persians as liars, it's quite possible for the Afghans to be sick of Iran's bullshit and also get egged on by America. You can't generally convince someone to attack somebody else out of nowhere but if there's a solid foundation, you can give...

Who is more trustworthy here? 600K does sound a lot more believable than 3 million.

I wouldn't underestimate Iran, they have a decent-size military arsenal and the Taliban so far is fighting a bunch of border guards and conscripts. If the Revolutionary Guard gets involved with tanks, drones and the lot, then I think we can more accurately assess how capable the Taliban is of...

I don't think it's people hating Pakistan, more pointing out that it is a very unstable nation and Turkey shouldn't rely on them too much for critical cooperation. I personally wish the people of Pakistan to succeed in making their country a better place and genuinely sympathize with the good...

Somebody could have asked him why Turkey couldn't take the Meskhetian Turks instead. Also Erdogan seems thinner and weaker. He always had bad posture from what I observed but he seems a bit more sloppy than old age would suggest.

See, this is why citizens should be armed. Refugee comes at you with knife, you blast him with a shotgun. As the Germans can attest, those make for especially painful wounds so the assailant will learn his lesson. I can criticize many things about America but the right to bear arms is something...

Would like to point out that bride kidnapping wasn't originally about being a malicious rapist like people assume but originated as a practice where a young man "kidnaps" a young woman who already agreed to marry him but her family disapproves as a way to force the family's acceptance of their...

Interesting, thank you for the information. Didn't know about the border changes.

Isn't the Taliban already fighting ISIS, Afghani pro-Republic insurgents and Pakistan? I'm genuinely amazed that they decided to go and pick a fight with Iran too.

I frankly think that every single young Afghan and Pakistani man in Turkey should be given a choice: a) Stay in Turkey and become a slave with no rights until the end of your life and your body burned for fuel once you die. All your property and fancy luxuries will be confiscated and given to...

Mike Doran is on the AKP's payroll. He will take any position that supports Erdogan, even when it contradicts what he said 5 minutes ago. I have people in my social circle who got angry because I dislike the man even though he supported Azerbaijan. I made it very clear that I'm not going to...

Yeah, he says this every other month while stabbing Putin in the back with the other.

How about admitting that keeping the interest rates low is a bad idea? Also the IMF does not give out loans for nothing. These loans come with specific advice on measures to take to improve the economy. And when inevitably you have a country that takes the money, does not follow the advice...

God-f***ing-damnit.

This guy is going to put Turkey in massive debt to the Gulf states to avoid doing the obvious to fix the economy.

Not necessarily, they might consider it the lesser of two "evils". The best way to crush HDP is to continuously put them in scenarios where they are seemingly offered multiple choices which are all negatives for them.

Another thing you now have in common with Azerbaijan, getting screwed by Aliyev.

That is incorrect, first proper Soviet surface-to-air defense system was the S-75 Dvina which was first unveiled in 1957, beaten by approximately 3 years by the Nike Ajax which was first deployed in 1954. Admittedly the Ajax was ultimately a piece of crap compared to the Dvina but it was still...

What does Rishi Sunak have to do with early elections in Turkey?

Then how did they get them? Perhaps they were "given" them in exchange for the drug products they peddle? It's not subversive to point out that this will seriously impact Turkey's reputation in South America. They view these gangs down there about as positively as Turkey views the PKK. If...
