I can sympathize with being a refugee. I really do. It's not technically their fault that Syria ended up becoming such a mess (unless they were one of the ones joining up with the likes of ISIS/PKK who then tried to claim innocence). But come on, being a refugee should come with 3 points: 1)...

Tweet got deleted.

It's obviously aimed at refugees and illegal migrants and I suspect will be applied in such a manner too no matter what the official text says. The thing is, European and Western nationals (or ones from countries such as South Korea or Japan) residing in Turkey can be expected to be, at the very...

It was co-designed by an American of Armenian background (along with two other guys who I believe were Jewish) but he resigned from the board of directors years ago after some scandal I think.

How much of an awful mother do you have to be to be confronted by your crying child and then respond with "Don't judge me, I'm a strong, independent woman!" when they tell you about being bullied at school because his/her mom is a shameless w***e? Even worse are the Reddit comments white...

In a military sense, America undeniably won. Taliban got crushed so hard that they had to flee into their caves and wait. Where the US failed was in the misguided attempt at nation-building by propping up an unpopular regime. It's the same when people say that America "lost" in Vietnam -...

My perspective residing in America might not completely be relevant to Turkey but that's not at all true. Immigration is beneficial in small to medium doses, once the floodgates are open with no restriction, there will be conflict at some point. I immigrated legally, having proven myself capable...

Best unintentional comedian of this century. Half the time I'm not even sure he believes what he's saying or if he's just doing it for attention. We got some great memes out of Buck Breaking though.

That isn't Turkey's problem. There is a safe zone for them to go to and they should go and run it themselves. The vast majority of refugees are men (how very brave of them), I'm sure Idlib could use the extra manpower to protect it. And since they refuse to behave themselves in Turkey, it's...

He might just be trying to redirect blame. I doubt an ATGM attack would do that much damage.

Lasers.

Not to start an argument but does Turkey produce anything purely indigenous when it comes to the firearms market? It seems like everything Turkey makes on that front are just modified copies of other guns.

How has a rogue commander not ordered some strategic killings of the enemy forces to send a message yet? We had less tolerance for Russian interference in Azerbaijan when they tried to screw with our internal affairs and we literally border them, have a substantial Russian minority and were...

Assad is an asshole but Ilay is right that Turkey will probably need to accept that he is staying there for the foreseeable future if the refugees are to be returned. Unless you have the balls to outright invade Syria and depose him, get used to it.

There's a major difference between legal immigration and illegals flooding in across the border or refugees being given temporary protection with the expectation that they will go back eventually. I think modern propaganda has rotted people's brains too much with the "OMG deporting people is...

But the thing is that Anadolu was only recently repurposed as a drone carrier and it was originally meant for something considerably more powerful.

I can see some use in mercenaries but you don't want proxies having more combat experience than your actual army. Proxies are there to get chewed up by enemy machine guns while your guys sneak round the side and stab the enemy in the back. I mean, putting it realistically.

I really hoped we would work on restoring all of Karabakh first but I guess if Armenia wants a Round 2, who are we to deny them?

On one hand, I understand not wanting to provoke open war against Russia, on the other hand you really need to fling a few missiles their way in order to keep your street cred. I mean, if Russia can throw bombs and then say "oopsie, didn't know you were there", Turkey can do the same pretty...

So is it safe to say that the Taliban has basically won at this point? I'm not saying this as taking their side necessarily but from an objective viewpoint, the Kabul government are, pardon my French, completely screwed. Funniest thing is that one of the Ottoman ministers at one point actually...
