No, that's stupid.

Civilians as a general rule should not drive military affairs. The only input a civilian administration should have into the military is the question: "Can we defeat [insert antagonist here]?" There's a thing called separation of church and state. Well, an equally important but rarely known...

Turkey's already trying to be non-aligned and it's not really working too well. You either pick a side or you make a side. As the joke goes "the problem with playing the middle-man is that you get it from both sides". Greeks are a distraction who are in even deeper shit economically than...

"openly courts" And obviously no mention that Turkey "courts" Russia as in, does diplomacy with them, on behalf of the EU.

Huh. So theoretically, if the issue of delivery systems is worked out, Turkey could have functioning nukes in 2-3 years?

I've heard that COVID-19 regulations may be a cover for something else like preparations for a future conflict but who the hell knows at this point.

After all that I've observed about AKP and Turkish politics, this seems like political suicide. AKP supporters or at least anti-CHP proponents on here keep pointing out that AKP is the only one that will combat PKK, they are just going to throw this away?

What's the procedure for clearing out these tunnels? Seal them up and let the trapped PKK starve to death?

Russia usually includes Turkey in all of these things as an attempt to pry them away from the Western camp and also cast shadow on Turkey's relations with the West. Even if Turkey didn't ask or want to be included, people will still get suspicious.

Personally, I'm rooting for some real science-fiction-style wunderwaffes. Or, y'know, something that nobody else has even thought of yet.

I find the existence of this conversation suspect because Gerald Ford was sworn in on August 9 while the Cyprus operation began all the way back in July. By the time Gerald Ford was in office, the world was only a couple of days away from an official ceasefire. There would be no point in talking...

It's not just illegals from Pakistan, I predicted this was going to be the case when the Taliban took over in Afghanistan because people don't seem to be aware that some Afghans who fled from the Taliban were literal human garbage that weren't fleeing out of concern for a fair and democratic...

Which is retarded at this point because both Finland and Sweden have expressed a willingness to work with Turkey and lifted arms embargoes. Sweden, OK, there are still issues to be ironed out but what's the deal with Finland? What else is Erdogan expecting to get out of them? This is the kind...

Which achieves...what exactly?

Phillip DeFranco is an idiot who hasn't been relevant since the early 2010s. He's been trying to jump on every bandwagon possible to boost his social media profile.

Greek media is full of shit here. War is extremely unlikely.

Ryder, friend, moderators may restrain themselves here but I would just like to ask you to tone it down with the hostile comments directed at other nationalities. Bosnians weren't even mentioned in the prior conversations and Turkish Cypriots don't deserve to be put down because Cypro disagrees...

A missile is just a smaller combat plane when you think about it.

Who said anything about fighting against all of US, Russia, Iran and Assad combined? Launch the operation and take out the target - YPG. My point, which appears to have flown over your head, is that there is zero point in stalling because even if you grow stronger, so will your opposition.

The best time isn't 2 years, 5 years or 10 years, the best time is now. As you grow stronger, so does your opposition. Erdogan is screwing up the opportunity of a lifetime and this is yet another reason why he absolutely, unequivocally has to go. The man does not know how to govern a country...
