Prosperity is the strongest revenge. You're deluding yourself if you think you'd be ok with living under North Korean conditions, rather than having a smart public perceptions campaign, to both get what you want and not give ammo to your enemies to act without discretion. All these defense...

Nukes has helped North Korea so much, it's unbelievable. More than 60% of your exports is to Europe. This idea that all Europeans unconditionally see Turks as untermensch is only true, if you're only interaction is with weirdo political nerds on internet forums. These same Europeans had a much...

America attacked Vietnam in the cold war, not USSR.

Public opinion is quite important in the eyes of western institutions; they do seem to have an almost omnipotent capacity to form it, but it too has its limitations. Whatever coordinated campaign you launch through your "free" "independent" media, and the "independent" analysts who write for...

These consulate closures by several western countries was very obviously expected to draw a hostile reaction from the Turkish government; therefore, in my view, the west, under the strategic leadership of U.S., is adamant in giving all the ammo the AKP needs for domestic propaganda before this...

They know it, they just don't care enough about the country's international image and long-term reliability to separate propaganda for domestic electoral use and what they convey through international diplomatic discourse.

Definitely not, the submental fat on the guy in the picture, among many other things, says otherwise.

No, it's a documentary made by a Ukrainian T.V. channel called "1+1", apparently the second biggest channel in the country.

You know what Chinese billionaires do with their money? They invest in American startups, buy treasury bonds and shares in U.S. stock markets and gobble up properties in American cities. America has been in decline since the 80s, but they're so securely ahead that they can slack for another...

Everybody wants to screw everybody else, but the uncouth childish diplomacy language and attitude of AKP, along with its attempts to build soft power in middle-east by showing teeth to the west, has lead to a tarnished image of our country, which helps form public opinion abroad and make it...

I immediately ignore any video that has these words in its title as pure junk: "Turkish", "American" (instead of Turkey and U.S., for instance they write: "Turkish amazes the world". :ROFLMAO:), "shocked the world", "amazes the world", "US surprised" , "finally", "incredible", "unbelievable"...

This was a really lovely documentary; recommend it to everyone, showcases the idealism and patriotic spirit in a more genuine and personal way and harbors many messages for some of the young generation of this country who have an injudicious sense of hopelessness and passivity.

goddam it, journalists are an illiterate bunch.

Can this potentially be a Chinese front operation to examine the drones?

Don't wanna get too political but as it pertains to Bayraktar, I just want to add that what Babacan said about competition and government's equal treatment of defense companies is pure bs btw; it's just a very naive laissez faire way of looking at the world. Big technological companies are...

Yeah well, Elon Musk is going to be on Mars back in 2021. As someone who is very well-acquainted with the history of AI and its nature, I'm very skeptical of claims on General AI. But limited AI assistance already happens in 4.5, 5th gen fighters and ground control is something planned for all...

The Bayraktar brothers answer questions regarding Kızılelma, what the first flight of a first prototype means, its capabilities and how it compares to an F-16 or even F-35 in an unfortunately disingenuous and exaggeratory ways to appeal to laypeople. They have also created this perception...

Possibly a prophylactic move to pressure them to walk back on concessions they may think Syria is going to give to Turkey. But apart from that, both Iran and Syria are in horrible conditions internally, this is the best time to get the utmost amount of concessions and if they don't give it, then...

There was very much a sense of urgency in the testing phase as they were done before Soviet collapse, as can be seen in the ASMET procedures and making of 14 testing prototypes and the required facilities to test 14 prototypes simultaneously. I very much doubt TEI has the infrastructure as of...
