I honestly thought that from the very start, the plan was to use USVs to make up for the lack of additional air defence frigates and create a fleet of expensive large ships defended by a fleet of much smaller cheaper USVs thus creating a cheap yet effective carrier group.

Couldn't Türkiye use the USV as a force multiplier and increase the defensive capabilities of the TCG-Anadolu and TF2000? By having the USV act as the first line of defence, the TCG-Anadolu and TF2000 have greater air-defence capabilities and a more difficult-to-penetrate solid self-defence...

Does Türkiye get any technology transfer from this project? if not then this entire thing has no benefits for Türkiye since the power plant will not help Türkiye become energy-independent.

I wonder would it be possible for Türkiye to use the current disruption in the Russian-EU oil trade to build up its own oil refining industry. Türkiye's oil refining industry is sadly comically small since it only produces 735 thousand barrels daily. In contrast, Greece produced 528 thousand...

Will it be possible to change certain design parts in the future blocks?

Who cares the entire EU only has a decade or two till its elderly population leads them into an economic death spiral, and they slowly become less relevant.

Everything will eventually lead to an escalation if they are able to build a functioning state the difference is whether it is Türkiye or them that escalates it. The good news is that whether Türkiye does something or not eventually those areas will be inhabitable as as global warming naturally...

Does anyone know how Suluk is governed? Is it like Afrin and Idlib overrun by armed idiots, or is there some semblance of an established state?

bad choice for now.

So far they have only shot one down, it is best to ignore them and continue with the operation. As for the location it is probably Iraq or Jordan. The best way to counter the US is to be independent in energy and semiconductor manufacturing, once this is then, Türkiye will have more space to...

And yet you already highlighted that it does put pressure on them in your earlier statement which is important as it slows down their state-building project. Rather than negotiating Türkiye could always go with the nuclear option of building more dams up north and stopping the Euphrates River...

The best way forward in the grand scheme of things is that a functioning nation is built in the Turkish-controlled areas. The best to do that is to create a second secular Syrian military force inside Türkiye as part of the Turkish arm forces sort of like the French Foreign Legion. When the...

Both are terrible Ideas, for now.

In a way, it shows that Türkiye is having an effect on CENTCOM's PKK project. 1) it is not only about making it more costly to the US but also putting pressure on the SDF to break up, or at least stop, their nation-building projects sort of like how the SDF uses the HTS to destabilise the SNA...

These two are the best comment here, some people say stupid shit like Türkiye should start a war with a nuclear-armed nation that it is reliant on for its energy needs, or get into a pissing contest with the most powerful nation in the world. The best way forward is to spontaneously launch...

This video raises some concerning points about how the global demographic crisis will affect developing countries like Türkiye which relies on wealthy European markets for it's trade.

I know, and that is why the SNA is a lost cause in its current state. The only way forward is for Türkiye to set up some type of government and all the institutions accompanying it. The reason why the YPG was able to last as long as it did was because of state-building; Türkiye needed to...

Turkey is never going to get that, the best option is to start to build a functioning nation out of the areas Turkey controls, then wait for the next opportunity sometime in the future.

Can it fit into the internal bays of the KAAN jet?

recognition of Assad or the YPG? This is why the rebel faction does not trust Türkiye and the SNA. Turkiye needs to stop Fucking around and start nation-building in the areas it controls.
