I think it's gonna have about as much effect as the Netherlands changing their name or the Czech Republic. People still refer to the former as Holland on occasion and literally nobody cares that the Czech Republic changed their official name to Czechia. Turkiye sounds awkward as hell in English...
455 people with PKK affiliation?
That's...a lot of people. I'd consider it reasonable if he said like 50 or 60 but that's more than everyone else combined. How?
Meh, Russia's not going to attack. That was my opinion originally then I briefly considered that hey, holy s**t, those madmen might actually do it but then I thought about it again - why would they?
Russia doesn't care about Donbas. They only sit there to keep people's attention off Crimea...
Uh, dude, the US army is sitting there with them. I wish they wouldn't and this BS infuriates me but do you think Turkey would start lobbing missile salvos into that area if the YPG were to conduct a terror attack against an oil drilling operation and the US said "no way"? Did we forget that...
Look at the map, it's literally right on the border with YPG-held territory. It's dangerous to drill there unless TAF can drive the YPG like 200 km away from that area and secure it against any attacks.
Why would you want the country to crash? One might not like AKP but the overwhelming wish should be for them to start doing better and fix their mistakes not drive the nation so deep into the abyss that they will finally get voted out by even their staunchest supporters.
Yeah, it was mostly limited to a handful of regiments in Belgium. And it wasn't some "let's hug and sing kumbaya" deal, it was a few soldiers exchanging gifts and playing a friendly game of football while everyone else tensely watched on, expecting things to blow up at any moment. Elsewhere on...
No pro-U.S. propaganda here. It's straight from Turkish and Russian sources.
Oh, is it 15 now? It used to be 10. Which really just underlines my point that the Russians are never leaving. They do this stuff everywhere, set a supposed "time limit" and then that time limit magically disappears a...
Eh, Armenia occupied territory in Karabakh for no other reason except not being able to tolerate living in a country with Azerbaijanis and actually still holds a part of said occupied territory thanks to Russia. Aside from Cyprus, where Greek Cypriots tried to exterminate their Turkish Cypriot...
Russia owns Akkuyu: https://tass.com/economy/1355809
Russian engineers will be the ones running the show: https://www.duvarenglish.com/only-russians-allowed-in-core-of-russian-built-akkyuku-nuclear-power-plant-in-turkey-says-engineer-news-59043
Akkuyu will not be priced in liras but in dollars...
Eh, am I the only one a bit concerned about the immediate warlike rhetoric here? I mean, if Greece attacks you then by all means go ahead, kick their ass, but it doesn't seem like the situation warrants "let's go wreck those SOBs, boys" just yet.
I'd be totally OK with stopping the Akkuyu nuclear power plant project. It's not beneficial to Turkey in the slightest, it's basically extortion by Russia. They will own and operate it with their own workers and charge Turkey for electricity generated by it while it is located on Turkey's own...
Pitbulls were specifically bred for killing. It's an animal, it does not understand anything except its innate instincts. I'm not saying it wasn't a tragedy but in this situation I'm partially inclined to blame the family who decided it was a good idea to get a pitbull as a house pet. It's like...
Look on the bright side Turkbros, the sheer magnitude of this economic ineptitude will likely go down in history.
You guys are going in the record books, maybe they'll even archive some of our posts for the future. 😁
That's because the drones helped Ethiopia's government turn the tide against Tigrayans and unlike Iran and China, who won't listen to the US and don't have to, Turkey is part of NATO and therefore the US establishment feels justified in bitching at you guys.
As for why, it's because the US is...
