Based on what I heard from American troops stationed in Afghanistan, regime-supporting Afghanis were often no better than the Taliban. One dude who trained Afghani government soldiers straight-up said that they were even bigger trash than Islamic fundamentalists calling for people to be...

Kind of fitting that Erdogan is such a fan of Abdulhamid II and commissioned a show whitewashing the guy. They are much alike in many ways, authoritarian, paranoid and crippling the country for their own personal profit.

You completely misunderstood what I said. TURKEY will be benefiting from the money and influence it can get out of Orthodox Christians by leveraging Hagia Sophia as a church again and boosting Turkey's own forms of Orthodoxy. Not Greece or Russia or whatever. Just like the Ottomans did with...

LMAO. Biden and the Democrats basically screeched all through the electoral year about what a horrible racist Trump was, now we have Kamala Harris and Marco Rubio actively telling migrants to GTFO and Biden essentially bribing corrupt autocrats from other countries to take refugees...

On the topic of Orthodoxy in Istanbul, I unironically think that letting the Hagia Sophia get turned back into a church would actually be useful in giving Turkish Orthodoxy a good boost and strengthening Turkey's soft power worldwide among Christians. Turkey wins literally nothing from making it...

Even the most refugee-supporting leftists and fundamentalists have to be wondering where the hell all the children, women and elderly people are. I repeat - if you are a young man fleeing a bad country, your first responsibility is to make sure the young ones, the infirm and old and the women...

Controlled burning isn't really an option in densely-forested, mountainous areas, especially in extreme heat where any small fires can quickly spin out of control. In addition to usually being done in winter or autumn during colder weather, it also depends on the type of flora growing in the...

I don't even get the logic of it this time because Turkey has already accepted Greece's help in the past with natural catastrophes and vice versa. What's the issue with doing it this time, it's not like people are gonna point and laugh "ha, ha, big Turkey needs little Greece's help" or some...

Ah, the whole world's gone mad. I'm just here, drinking cay and waiting for the World War 3 warm-up to finish and the shooting to start. Hope you guys have been getting some practice in.

I voted for Barack Obama back in the day. Not that the Republicans would've been much better but every day I wish I could go back in time and punch myself in the face for being so stupid. May they all die of the worst form of cancer imaginable and suffer every second for a year until they expire.

What's up with all the government organizations in Turkey avoiding responsibilities around instead of doing their jobs? The fires may have been started by sabotage but they certainly got worse because it doesn't seem like anyone in government is handling it properly.

That's really not good. Could lead to escalation unless Greece quickly apologizes and punishes the soldiers responsible. Otherwise, with the tensions in the country, some Turkish citizen could take matters into their own hands and put a bullet between the eyes of a Greek border guard of their...

This strikes me as externally driven. Like someone else is pulling the strings here. Which leads me right back to that parasite Jeb Bush and the Turkish Democracy Project...bad enough that he and his ilk have been sucking the blood of America dry, now it seems that they are still up to their...

Invest in some nukes already, this would fix so many of Turkey's deterrence problems overnight.

Hmm, this might be serious. I like SNHR, they are honest enough that they hammer everyone that has done bad in Syria as opposed to some other groups. That being said, I doubt YPG would've been able to do this without US approval to some degree.

Yeah, at least some of it strikes me as deliberate sabotage. Good to see our government helping out. And Bosnia too. What's happening is insane.

The US sees China as its main competitor and when it comes to cheap, disposable systems that can be manufactured en masse, we're simply not gonna beat China in that regard, no matter how hard we try. So the US military is doubling down on high-tech hardware that is built to last as its main...

Seems a bit cheap to me.

PKK accounts were openly bragging about it online and fires don't just start out of nowhere. Hot weather contributes to the ease of starting one but the vast majority of forest fires are due to deliberate or occasionally accidental arson. It was the case here in America and when Australia had...

All young men in their 20s, maybe early 30s. Seriously, where the hell are the Afghan women? These cowards should be sent right the hell back. At this point, I'm pretty sure if the Turkish government doesn't do anything, the Turkish public themselves will start "dealing" with these migrants...
