It's not, it's just antagonizing all of Europe for zero benefit. We may talk trash about some Western European nations here but Turkey does have solid connections in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as alliances that do not exist with Iran, who is actively hostile to Turkey. Besides, they...

I kind of find it weird to paint almost all of the Indian subcontinent with the "former Hindu" brush because Hinduism, from my admittedly limited reading, didn't really evolve into a unified religion from what were separate teachings until fairly recently. That was more of a Pakistani own goal...

Very well, I won't say anymore. "Protect" was probably the wrong word to use, let's just say they are a useful ally to Pakistan. My only point was that you may be biased somewhat in this matter because of your nationality and your country's relation to India and lack of any particular ethnic...

You are Pakistani my friend, you have your own reasons to defend China's actions because they protect you from India. But no, it's not slander. Reports have come out already about Uyghurs getting "removed". China would absolutely demand such a thing. You only need to pay attention to how China...

Of course you can. Deport them and if they try to return, shoot them. Good enough for Greece, good enough for Turkey. And the EU doesn't want them. Sometimes, you don't get what you want. These people think there's hope because there's no firm controls in place. To take the example of a border...

The US Capitol building has plagues of 23 notable historical figures who laid down legal principles that underpin US law. Suleiman the Magnificent is one of them. He's digging his own grave at this point. Selling Uyghurs to China is apparently fine but illegal migrants are too precious to...

Just shove them back into Iran. Iran keeps doing it to Turkey, see how they like it.

No big loss. Do you really want Turkey to lose its sovereignty to the whims of some bureaucrats in Brussels? Turkey is already being used as the gatekeeper of Europe, the last thing it needs is to become a slave to the EU. Norway was smart enough not to join because they read the subtext and...

I like Nuland pretending like they'd remove the sanctions even if Turkey gave away the S-400s tomorrow. Or re-admit Turkey into the F-35 program again.

Mod edit: Inappropriate language omitted. Kargu is nothing too advanced. It's a basic swarm suicide drone, Israel and the US have been exporting stuff like that for years and I doubt Turkish stuff is much better than theirs. And if you're referring to the Libyan "terminator AI hunting humans on...

ANCA should have told Armenian soldiers to GTFO out of Karabakh first.

No, I want Turkey to do two things: 1) Stop them from using the Turkish flag. 2) Stop them from blatantly committing horrific crimes with no repercussions and either put a leash on them or, yes, drop them. 3) Learn how to either engage in proper media warfare or don't give anti-Turkey...

Please re-read what you quoted again. I never said anything about moral and ethical fiber, I said that proxy warfare exists to keep good PR and a clean public image. If you're failing at even that, then what is the point of having proxies? The rest is just more whataboutism, what America and the...

I'm sorry but you are wrong on every account. You do not let your proxies run around with Turkish flags committing blatant massacres. You do not understand why proxy warfare exists, it is to offload your dirty work on deniable goons who can keep your country and brethren safe and advance your...

Pretty much all governments have accepted Taliban rule as a predetermined conclusion. I can only hope for two things: 1) Taliban helps stop the migrant flow. 2) Taliban stops attacking Turkic minorities. There are more but these are the two that I hope that Erdogan, as incompetent a diplomat...

Damn, that's rough Cypriotbro.

Turkey and Pakistan have always had their differences which were swept under the rug. For example, in Syria, there are some Pakistanis who fight in jihadist groups and even for Assad/pro-Iran/pro-Russia/anti-Turkey groups as soldiers for hire. And Pakistan directly co-operates with China to...

Taliban does have members from outside countries fighting in Afghanistan. And they are absolutely an oppressive regime. The only difference is, most of Afghanistan supports this oppressive regime for some bizarre reason. If I was in charge of Turkey, I would only care about finding some way to...

A presidential palace is not a self-respecting institution. It's an ego trip. Could've built something useful there, instead they are building something useless.

It's times like these that I'm convinced that Russia crushing Jadid reformists in the 19th and 20th centuries was the greatest tragedy of modern Islam. Turkic people could have reformed the religion and shook off the vestiges of such inane superstitions but no, instead we are stuck with morons...
