The article says that they could not find any evidence of such law existing though?

If I recall correctly, idea was that since the plane was shot down over Syrian territory, it did not warrant Article 5. People kind of have to understand that NATO isn't actually there to fight at the drop of a dime unless it's the US calling (and the Iraq War basically ruined that forever) and...

...Ragip just said that Finland and Sweden were being reasonable about the PKK, why punish them?

Ryder, I understand your frustration but no need to be so continuously hostile to various ethnicities. Be cool my man.

I always found tigers interesting as they are apparently the only species of big cat that actively hunt humans. Others tend to just attack humans if we get too close but otherwise leave people alone.

It's the music that really kicks the creepiness factor up an extra notch. It's one thing for older perverts to film young girls, it's another to post that video with a fucking love song over the top of it.

Wikipedia is almost always full of shit when it comes to participant/casualty amounts in historical battles. It's frequently in the 100,000+ range especially when it comes to Turkish battles where the citations are almost always European historians on the opposing side who unsurprisingly claim...

With the odd exception of the Greek Communist Party, lefties are usually decidedly not based. I cannot verify for sure but apparently when Sweden was having elections for PM some time ago, it was decided by one vote of a Kurdish-origin politician who said she would support Magdalena Andersson...

I personally think this was stupid and Erdogan shouldn't have declared to the whole world that "we disapprove of Sweden and Finland entering NATO" but simply conducted business behind the scenes. All this has done is put a massive negative spotlight on Turkey and pressure that wouldn't be there...

With all due respect, AT4s are an incredibly common weapon. ISIS had them, Taliban had them, Al-Qaeda had them. It's not necessarily Sweden that provided them.

I think that the Hagia Sophia should've been left as a museum but the reaction of the Western powers to it was admittedly hilarious. I've had people give me a list of reasons why Erdogan is an authoritarian (he is) but when they start listing "converting Hagia Sophia to a mosque", I immediately...

Russian soldier's uniforms looking several shades brighter and less green, I see. Got new helmets too apparently.

Bitching about Trianon is basically a national sport in Hungary.

I have a question: Why don't some angry Turkish nationalists grab a couple of rifles, head to the border and start shooting? It's not even some call to violence or whatever, I'm just genuinely surprised nobody has tried beating Simo Hayha's sniper record except with illegal migrants instead of...

Isn't South Korea literally ruled by some all-women Illuminati conspiracy cult behind the scenes? Like there was a scandal about it several years ago.

Apparently Japanese nationalists are very much on-board with forging a strong alliance with Turkey. And they are gaining increasingly more power in Japanese politics from what I heard. Whether Turkish nationalists hold the same general sentiment towards Japan is to be seen.

Schools in general should keep ideology out of their classrooms.

There are pro-Assad Syrians in Turkey as well. Watch the video of the shopkeeper in Damascus who films Assad in their restaurant and says that he will send the video to their boss in Turkey.

The war in Ukraine is a once-in-a-hundred-years kind of opportunity. It's difficult to overstate how much Turkey could win on this if it plays its cards right.

This is logical. You don't open with threats, you start with negotiations first. The bigger problem is getting rid of the illegals. Where do you dump them? They'll just keep trying to sneak back in unless Turkish people start lynching them. Gen Z are more conservative than their predecessors...
