I am not up-to-date, could someone give me a quick rundown on what makes Halil Falyali such a significant figure?

Very well, let's switch to PMs, if that suits you better. You still haven't pointed out how the likes of the Baltics and Poland are engaging in anti-Turkish activities. You still haven't addressed how allowing Russia to take over Eastern Europe without fighting back f**ks over Turkish interests...

You are still doubling down. Let me refresh the situation for you. 1) GoatsMilk points out that the number of independent media outlets in the US is shrinking, almost everyone is owned by the big 6. This has nothing to do with journalists getting arrested or whatever, it's a comment on...

Here's a hint: reputation and international relations, two very important things in the global arena. The kind of knee-jerk, overly emotional reactions you are proposing here would have everyone saying "Turkey is an unreliable ally" immediately vindicated and anyone who supports Turkey within...

My current country is the US. The country from which my bloodline hails is Azerbaijan. The topic I commented on was that a lot of American media is owned by only a few companies, which has nothing to do with journalistic freedom. I'll give you this, you are the master of the non sequitur.

That list is even smaller now. Viacom and CBS merged in 2019 and 21st Century Fox was bought by Disney in the same year. Time Warner is owned by AT&T, who also has shares in Comcast if I remember correctly.

That's the stupidest possible action Turkey could take. Just think for a moment, Turkey gains nothing from this and loses much. Also, Estonia is the least likely place for Russia to attempt any military action in. It's by far the most valuable of the 3 Baltic states (Latvia being the least...

Bro, give the guy who negotiated the sale a raise. That's some next-level price gouging.

No, Oman is the smartest. They are so irrelevant in the region that people forget they exist. And when it comes to the Middle-East, people forgetting you exist is often the best thing that can happen.

Something is off about this operation. Before they claimed that the guy blew himself up, there were reports that US operatives tried to breach the compound but couldn't due to heavy machine gun fire and decided "f**k it, bomb the whole thing" and launched a missile at it. Then afterwards it...

The US in general is kinda terrible at training proxies. Vietnam, failure. Afghanistan, failure. Iraq, mostly failure. Syria, epic failure. Korea, actually not too bad but that was like 70 years ago.

Cool but I thought we officially accepted it last year?

K9 is getting really popular.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/28/world/middleeast/isis-syria-prison-sinaa.html Boom. Just grabbed a random NYT article from Google talking about "ISIS militants". I get that your main goal here is to just find any way possible to shit on Turkey but this is reaching.

I don't see the issue, calling them "militants" doesn't mean not acknowledging they are terrorists. US media has also called members of the likes of Al-Qaeda, ISIS and the Taliban "militants" before.

Hmm, I'll need to look deeper then, I haven't seen anything like that yet. The problem is that it wrecks air quality, especially in Indonesia's big cities, and can cause a lot of lung problems. For example, there's been research linking poor air quality with tuberculosis...

Four things: 1) The official document is very clear - Karabakh remains in Azerbaijan. Not transferred. Not given. Remains. Read it for yourself. 2) The reason it was chosen to stay in Azerbaijan is there weren't enough majorities of either ethnicity to tip the balance. Where the Armenians made...

You mean this? https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/indonesia-starts-construction-of-31b-coal-gasification-plant-to-cut-lpg-imports In terms of EROEI, that's around a 5:1 conversion ratio so not particularly good but given that coal is something that Indonesia produces heaps of, it seems...

Why is Assad there? I thought he was YPG's best friend now.

I am not sure which genius in Armenian government thought that proposing that both countries leaving their borders unguarded was a good idea but I want some of what they were smoking. I guess trying to sneak into Karabakh to plant mines is a bit more difficult now that our army is watching...
