Mansur Yavas is like the one Turkish politician that basically everyone likes LOL. Even those who hate CHP in general admit that he'd actually make a good leader.

Ah, so you've finally become acquainted with the lovely Armenian diaspora of the Internet. Charming bunch, aren't they? One of the reasons I am skeptical of the current rapprochement attempts by us and the Turkish government. Not opposed to them in principle but it's far too early. Armenians...

A bunch of civilians demonstrate outside the capitol building for a few hours, barely touch anything, are accompanied and escorted by police at every step while political hacks like AOC make up sob stories about how terrified she was...several blocks away? INSURRECTION! THREAT TO DEMOCRACY...

That's because the Israeli Air Force is Israel's strongest military asset. Their ground forces? Mid-tier at best. Their navy? Slightly better but suffers from having been neglected for many years until they started making up for it. Their air force though? Ace-tier. Which is why Israel is...

It really boggles the mind why Turkey didn't offer to send any peacekeeping forces. Hell, why didn't WE offer to send any peacekeeping forces? Azerbaijan literally signed new military cooperation agreements with Kazakhstan a couple of months ago. They are asking for a reinforcement of the 1995...

I really dislike the steering wheel, the flattened bottom would make the grip really awkward when turning.

As much as Kazakhstan's government sucks, these protests are clearly on some level astroturfed. Fuel price hikes don't tend to bring out these kinds of crowds and having lived in Kazakhstan for about 3 years, let me tell you, these people aren't the French. They aren't even the Kyrgyz. And...

A minor difference, if any, in your case. Might as well put Pakistan as your country of origin. At least I don't mislead people that I am a pure American. I let them know my Azerbaijani biases straight-up. I also find it funny how you latched on AlphaMike's supposed US citizenship because...

Ah, I knew reconciliation this quickly was a mistake. Make no mistake, I was hoping to have Armenia be more friendly but f***s like the Armenian Revolutionary Federation? No, no, these people will become the same headache for Turkey that PKK is. The key is to get the younger generations of...

Then would it not be better to give the project to someone who can finish it quicker instead of needing 5 years to learn how to do it?

With AKP, you almost had a Kurdistan in Turkey.

Might as well ask blackjack why is using a Ukrainian flag when he's Russian or Dalit why he's using a Dutch flag when he's Pakistani. If it's too simplistic because China and Russia are allying out of convenience, then would you not say the same for the EU and the US among others? And yes, they...

Yes, I do think that Russia will mostly stand alone. You are foolish if you think China will definitely jump into the ring for Russia, especially since they have claims on Siberia and most of eastern Russia which has valuable resources that they need and they don't like paying Russia for. Same...

I'm not sure but does ADF stand for the Australian Defense Force? Maybe @Ryder could help you out there.

Russia is conventionally good at zerg rushing their opposition and overwhelming brutality in the hopes of making the enemy surrender. If the enemy doesn't fall for this, Russia withdraws pretty quickly. I would also like to draw your attention to the amount of failed or "in development hell"...

It's a form of influence via arms exports. Pretty simple logic.

Eh? In a conventional war, NATO would crush Russia so hard it wouldn't even be funny. Russia's only hope would be using nukes for MAD. Afghanistan was an occupation gone badly because NATO had no interest in babysitting the nation anymore. In conventional warfare in Afghanistan, the Taliban got...

Second one depending on the time frame but whether it can stop it is debatable.

I agree with xenon5434, you don't start with 130k right out of the gate. 30k might be a bit cheap but that range of 30k-50k seems perfect for a first product. The ideal is to produce an affordable but relatively high-quality car right out of the gate. You don't start with luxury models until...

Unless Turkey is secretly testing them for the purposes of a secret nuclear weapons program, no.
