By that measure America also fights terrorism with terrorist methods.

British PMs tend to take orders from higher-up and higher-up find Turkey a very useful partner in the current environment. If you examine British history, you will find that they have a lot of flexibility when it comes to diplomatic entanglements.

Feels good to be an Azerbaijani right about now.

I will never understand what kind of thought process has led the IMF to become the boogeyman of every economically unstable country on the planet. Literally all they do is give out loans (under strict conditions) and draw up easy to follow business plans for countries to fix their economies...

It also depends on what kind of metals Turkey is going to be trading in. Lithium, for example, is super-valuable right now because everyone is high on fumes about the "inevitable" electric car future.

No it's not. You first need to actually prove yourself as car manufacturer, not to mention national reputation plays a role. People will take a risk on a high-end electric vehicle from Italy or Japan, especially if it's a proven company like BMW or Toyota, in an economically stable country...

China's Wing Loong II got blown away in Libya by a Turkish laser prototype so I'm gonna take that with a grain of salt.

It's FSA so they'll get written off as jihadists and nobody will condemn YPG for it.

Which ones? Lemme guess, that "drones downed" page run by actual Russians that they claim to be "totally legit"?

I'm still not sure what the use of the S-400 is when it hasn't even been activated.

Humanitarian aid entails monetary support and that is still continuing apparently.

It's literally impossible for Turkey to demand that. NATO membership is binding, once you're in, you're in. In order for Turkey to be able to revoke Finland and Sweden's membership, you'd have to essentially change the legal structure of NATO itself, which would also massively backfire on Turkey...

I can understand Saudi Arabia but Israel actually did apologize and pay compensation for the flotilla incident, which was more than a decade ago.

Who is the governor of Hatay and what are their political connections?

Perverts in government? Say it isn't so! As for pride parades, I wouldn't really mind them if they were like in Japan where people walk around dressed normally and smiling while waving happy flags. Instead we've got weirdos in drag outfits simulating sexual acts in front of and handing out...

Long overdue too, Roe v. Wade was blatantly unconstitutional and based off the testimony of a woman who lied about being raped. Not sure why lefties are crying though, all this means is that abortion will be up to states to decide and more than 2/3rds of US states already legalized abortion on...

If you think a handful of F-15s could provide air superiority for Greece against Turkey, you need a reality check pal. Turkey was not surprised in the slightest over Cyprus. It was a problem that was talked about all the way back in the early 1950s and the only reason Turkey didn't intervene...

Not nearly as funny as you are. I am well aware of how much money Saudi Arabia makes from oil sales. And my point was that they still don't hoard it away in corruption as much as, for example, Turkey does. The Saudi royal family is extremely open about the fact that they are taking up to 1/3 of...

One thing I appreciate about Gulf Arabs is that they don't really hoard their wealth. They've got f**k you levels of money and they spread it around enough that even the average citizens can live a fairly comfortable upper middle-class life. Turkey does not have that, neither does Azerbaijan or...

Greece is an irrelevant distraction as has been pointed out before. And Saudis don't control shit when Israel has the final say on who does and doesn't get the latest US tech. Also worth noting that the Saudi "embargo" was mostly on-paper only. Many Saudi businesses continued trade with Turkey...
