    Damn, so we really did succeed in weaning Europe at least partially off Russian gas and going with the US offer instead.

    Analysis Azerbaijan, Turkey, and Pakistan's geopolitical triangle

    I personally see this as a general positive. The more friends, the better. "B-b-but they are backwards Islamists!" So are parts of Turkey and Azerbaijan. Just go up north close to the border with Russia in Azerbaijan and you'll see nutjobs with no less of a medieval mentality than those found...

    Nilgiri, I get the overall point you're trying to make but it seems like even if we ignore everything else about NATO, India vs. Turkey population size, etc, the point is that CAATSA is being used inconsistently. If you think that users here are attacking India because of this, you are...

    Russia lacks the offensive capacity to invade Ukraine.

    Congratulations, it took Russia just under a week of a full-scale offensive against a tiny country with limited resources to get what they wanted. BTW, don't pay attention to all the humiliation the Russian air force suffered in the process, that's totally fake news. Meanwhile NATO runs a few...

    Russia has been backed into a corner, they tried to play both sides, now they realize that the West doesn't care about them at all, so they have thrown their lot more or less completely in with China, sink or swim.

    TR Casual Discussion TOGG - Türkiye's Automotive Joint Venture Group

    I think we can all agree that the logo is horrible. Perhaps the forum can get together and create something and send it off to TOGG officials? Maybe we might get chosen, lol. For starters, I like the singular "T" design. No need to spell out the car's full name.

    This might unintentionally have the opposite effect though, where people will wonder "Why are they suing if they are not afraid of something slipping out?" and fuel even more speculation.

    I somehow really doubt that CGH was involved in the design. They are a globally respected company and designed logos for many of the most well-known brands in the world like Mobil, National Geographic, JP Morgan Chase, Showtime, NBC, PBS, Smithsonian, PanAm, etc. To make an amateur copying...

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    Think you got it backwards, the separatist/Russian artillery was firing on Ukrainian positions and Ukrainians responded with a TB2 strike. Par for the course with Russian disinformation to state the course of events front to back. Why would you exclude Syria? Or Libya? We actually know that...

    There is a solution. It even has a rather fancy French instrument made famous in the revolution for speeding up the process.

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    If Russia doesn't want NATO to regard Russia as an adversary, then why the insistence that Ukraine must not be allowed to join? Surely Russia won't care since NATO is not an adversary?

    It won't. Look at the total economic growth that resulted from it, discounting COVID-19 related recovery, it's around 1%. This strategy of crashing the currency to try and remedy the trade deficit as though it's some absolutely horrible issue that needs to be fixed right now instead of one among...

    History and Culture

    Kurds and Persians are both of Iranic origin, culturally and genetically speaking. Just because there was admixture does not mean they are not. There's more than a thousand years of difference between the end of Sumer and the first civilizations, who also relied primarily on chariots, and the...

    Eh, it's possible for both to suck. One slightly less admittedly but still not good. CHP is the lesser evil for now but there needs to be a vigilant eye kept on HDP to crush that cancer in its infancy.

    History and Culture

    Don't have a horse in this race (pun intended) but Sumerians being somewhat related to Turks does not mean they had to have similar steppe nomad traditions. Kurds and Persians are both of Iranic origin, yet one is a nomad peoples and the other is a prominent settler civilization.
