Did Ukraine even have 10% of what Russia had at the start of the war? As much as Russia has been a clown show, Ukraine has performed exceptionally.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/09/21/israel-turkey-un-erdogan-lapid/ A good example of erdogans failed policy, spent over a decade destroying relations with Isreal for no profit only to go back begging.

The Azeri Turks would have little to no problems integrating within Turkey, but central and southern Iran isn't much different to Syria or Afghanistan culturally. And if were being honest Syrians culturally are very different to the Turkish people. Afghans are something else entirely.

Expect about 20 million if it descends into a civil war. Over Syria we ended up with about 10 million and still counting, a country like Iran with a population of 90 million is going to be another nightmare for Turkey.

Its always good seeing people going against Islamic theocratic dictatorships, but on the other hand if iran turns into another syria expect 20 million more refugees fleeing to Turkey.

If there is one thing i like about Aliyev he understands the geopolitical game and plays it according to regional realities. Aliyev is a shrewd leader who is very calculated in what he does and what he says. He's a much better statesman then Erdogan in that regard, much better. Personally i...

I remember the days when Putin and his lackeys were making nuclear threats directly towards Turkey. There was a point over Syria where it really look like Turkey was about to go all in against Russia and her proxies there, then the Kremlin mouth pieces started talking about using tactical nukes...

Are you aware of the British empires involvement in cultivating these fanatics against the Ottoman empire? These ideologies are designed the rot Islam from within. Today its mainly the gulf states who cultivate it, all of those states are British products. In England nearly all mosques are...

Mobilisation isn't going to solve their structural problems. Desperate move from a desperate man who knows he's about to lose everything.

The flippant comment of Turkey growing a spine, basically pointing out that Muslims who make snide comments towards Turks should look to their own first before opening their mouths. I live in England its quite common for Muslims to talk shit about Turks. I took his comment about Turkey growing...

Not really my point.

On a serious note we just have to agree to disagree with one another. The narrative about Turkey pursuing an independent foreign policy is skewered. Turkey has always acted independently and within her means. In world war 2 she remained neutral. The moment the soviets threatened war and wanted...

Your thoughts are too simple. All nations are limited according to their means. Turkey always pursued an independent policy within her means. Turkey at the end of world war one was 10 million and had next to no industrialisation, during world war 2 we had the soviets, Nazi's and allied forces...

Syria was a disaster and continues to be. Basically created a fire under your own home.

The best thing for Russia would be for Putin to step down and the new dictator to blame everything on Putin and withdraw from Ukraine. Its a total disaster for Russia and we don't know the long term cost of it. However, by maintaining this losing war Russia will continue to bleed and the overall...

And that really shows how inept AK party is, Russia is getting bent over in Ukraine and they still cannot use that to their advantage regionally.

Yeah the growing a spine comment didn't sit well with me. I misunderstood your intent. Its just I live in England and have met many Muslims from many different nations and its not uncommon for them to throw snide comments towards Turks. As for independent foreign policy this is also wrong...

Putin has no choice but to continue the war, anything less and his career is done. But the Russians have two choices, either leave and save further suffering or be removed by force. Russia is done in Ukraine. Too many retreats, too many battlefield defeats. Right now Russia is fighting to save...

Also many Muslims of the world should understand we are not European to these people simply because we are Muslim. Europeans for a period of time were bending over backwards in the hopes that we would become Christian. Mehmed was offered by the pope of Rome that should he convert to Christianity...

Many of Europe's political leaders descend from the old european aristocratic houses of europe. Sarkozy has direct aristocratic relatives who were killed by the Ottoman army during the battle of Mohacs. In england pretty much every prime minister we have ever had has been related to the house...
