Ideally Turkey should be exploiting their fears of each other. One is a mad persian style theocracy, the other pretty much a zionist state. Throw in the wahhabists of the gulf and all 3 ideologies are poison. This entire region whether it be palastine, iran, or saudia araiba was ruled by Turks...

Most voters have short memories. Still remember when they were promoting the PKK? If AK party can side with the PKK and it doesnt bother their supporters shaking the hands of sisi will be normal.

Without Turkish agreement no pipes from egypt can make it to europe. Remember even half of Cyprus is Turkish land. The reason Turkey went to war in Libya was to stop egyptians and greeks from thinking they can bypass Turkey. They can't and won't. Greeks already tried similar games over Cyprus...

taliban won't maintain any of that sophisticated hardware.

any news about maritime boundaries?

should be for the parents to teach their children, should be forced by the state.

Islam alone won't achieve anything. In general the more "muslim" a country the more backward it is and hence the more vulnerable it is to non-muslim manipulation. In the case of Afghanistan 200 years of being invaded and occupied by the non-believers. Islamic world has millions of preaching...

It also runs counter the western racist narrative of superior race. The Turks came as a tiny minority from central asia, took over the roman empires capital and built an empire that for the next few hundreds would challenge the entire might of europe. Even when the Turks fell to their weakest...

The source of western hate and even eastern envy towards Turkey is that not only did Turkey never get colonised by European powers, she was the last non-european people to conquer europeans. When you take into account that Turkeys population at the end of warld war 1 was a tiny 10 million...

also seems like no one cares about covid in afghanistan.

If the syrian rebels spent as much time fighting assad as they did each other, this problem would have ended a long time ago.

to trans people?

Looks like a trans to me.

An air force that not only includes modern f16's but also air superior fighters like the F15 as well as 5th generation stealth aircraft like the F35. Meanwhile Turkey has about 300 fighter aircraft with many of them not being the most advanced F16's going. Just like in the wars with the arabs...

Turks should be writing article about the threat isreals nuclear program is Turkey to conjure up public sentiment for a domestic nuclear program. Also Turkey had one independence war, may we never ever experience another one.

I didn't even personally get into the nuclear power isreal has, in essence with one bomb Istanbul is gone and with it a 1/3rd of the Turkish economy. Lots of people here were finding it hard to comprehend how important airpower is and the fact isreal is more powerful in the air then Turkey. But...

so my first point was that air power is critical, the most important thing. Your response was "but what about the afghans" my response was the afghans are an exception, even then without airpower they got occupied for decades and had millions slaughtered. Had they had a powerful airforce maybe...

I think Isreal actually has a larger fighter aircraft force then either France or GB.

It takes decades to educate people. As for erdogan its his job to support the defence industry. What is he running the country for? To be a loser and to make sure Turkey loses? Its his job to do good for the nation, its not his job to engage in corruption like Altay/BMC that kills projects. Why...

A big part of winning is knowing what battles to fight. Isreal is not a battle for us right now.
