HDP is more practical as a mousetrap, in theory. As Lool pointed out, when the previous parties were disbanded, they simply reformed. Issue is that said mousetrap isn't being used effectively. The best strategy would be to cut off their funding entirely but that is a more difficult territory to...

Turkey can replace Russia with Ukraine. Or Pakistan. Additionally, Turkish academics are studying thorium just fine on their own and could even suggest to co-operate with India on the subject. You really don't want to end up depending on Russia for energy needs. Russia knows better than anyone...

There won't be any destructive war with Russia. They are already bombing TAF positions in Syria on a regular basis, Ukraine would simply be an opportunity to pay them back in kind and score some massive PR points in the process.

Wait, you mean to tell me that hippie BS about wind and solar saving us all from the evil coal and oil was a bunch of nonsense all along? I'm shocked I tell you, shocked.

Eh, they kinda do. Mossad isn't all stony-faced assassins, they've got regular schmucks that pose as tourists as well. Not saying that these guys were spies but it didn't take me by surprise that they were arrested after hearing that Turkish intelligence busted a Mossad spy ring and also got...

Yup, Wasp-class vessels are the only ones in the US navy to use this kind of steam boiler setup AFAIK except for USS Makin Island.

Good principle for development of mechas as well. I'm sure you can tell by my avatar why I'd be interested in that. :geek:

So how much estimated annual revenue are we looking at so far regarding this find?

Not surprising, one of the cited reasons for why Turkey didn't want the US offer for the Patriots was because Turkey also wanted a tech transfer and the US, having learned from bitter experience that doing tech transfers results in knock-offs competing with your goods on the international...

I don't think there's any need to escalate (although to be honest, I don't trust Aliyev in the slightest) but Nakhchivan is a vulnerable area and Armenians have tried to take in the past (they only stopped all attempts because Turkey threatened to bulldoze their entire nation if they advanced...

The idea that lower interest rates = more investment only really works if your country has solid regulations and rule of law so investors can be sure that if they invest A, they'll get B or at worst, C. Not invest A and get B, C, X, Z, W, F or G. Italy, Portugal and Spain are the 3 biggest...

It was mostly a joke but there is a considerable amount of evidence out there on the CIA funneling weapons to ISIS and its affiliates. Hell, one of the reasons why the Syrian opposition got so infested with jihadists is because the US and NATO imported them into their ranks. CIA working with...

ISIS never went away, it's just one of our American toys to f**k with people we don't like. Also to c**kblock China from digging their claws into Afghanistan. What, you thought ISIS-K popping up almost immediately as US withdrawal commenced was just a coincidence? Fear the might of the CIA, b***h!

Frankly I don't know why Turkey keeps holding on to the S-400s, they are not even activated yet (4 years after purchase) and the F-35 would be, despite my issues with how bloated the program is, a vastly better investment. The S-400 wouldn't be able to protect Turkish mainland from any...

This would be so much easier if Turkey and Greece did not have a tense relationship. Just notify authorities of both countries of where you want to finish, get almost immediate approval and done.

Credit should go to the operator too.

Try archive.today then post the resulting links to the saved page. Reminds me of Abdulhamid II who took out massive loans which he wasted on extravagant building projects and left Turkey in massive debt which the country had to keep paying off until, like, 1954 IIRC. Kind of ironically fitting...

Really? Link? You can provide an archive link if you don't want to give AJ clicks. Wouldn't be surprised, I long figured Qatar will drop Turkey the moment Erdogan or (hopefully) his successors decide to stop selling out Turkish interests for them.

So it's basically a copy of the Milkor MGL? Not that it's a bad thing or anything but I'm a bit surprised since MKEK apparently produces MGLs domestically anyway.

Some of them were probably looted from caches left behind by NATO forces. Others...might have been given.
