Don't have the link right now but Reuters reports that Iran bombed among other things a building of the Israelis in the US embassy in Iraq and the home of a Kurdish businessmen because Turkey, Iraq and Israel are working on getting Iraqi gas to Turkey and Europe.

The last thing Syria needs or the world is another Urban battle that will cause destruction to a city that has slowly been brought back to life. Tel Rifaat, Manbij are good enough and actually serve our interests.

Welcome @Nykyus and thanks for your perspective.

@Nilgiri no chance that Schröder would be sanctioned by Germany, but he has really damaged himself and his legacy. No coming back from that. He managed to even turn the last member of SPD, his party, against him. If anything, I can see the US put him on a sanction list because the other...

a) UAE losing interest in Greece because the East Med pipeline is not happening or b) not participating because they are trying to warm up the ties with Turkey or c) both

This is Turkey, where everything is populistic. No plans announced. But the opposition has learned that they need to fight fire (populism) with fire. Whether thats good is another question.

Time's ticking.

Have you seen how some people talk in here? I could understand the sentiment, but I doubt that its generally speaking like how you described it.

Cord extension out of the windows will take approx. 24h to load your car (Tesla Model 3 for example) it's not feasible nor practical. Germany has a decent network already but there are still black spots, i.e. when I drive to a smaller village I might have to take a detour of 10-20km to charge it...

Yes you can, democracy has its limits and you can choose to let people call for violence, hate speech and to conspire / uprising against the government (US-style) or you can have clear boundaries. There are many shades of democracy.

This is not really relevant. Ukraine was not even close to joining NATO. And what does that even imply? NATO expanded, so we're going to invade and occupy a country that has done nothing alike? If theirs one thing people need to understand its that, those countries wanted to join NATO because...

Turkey was never a Third World country, by its original definition or when it comes to the automotive industry. Going to have to stop your populism right there. Having a Turkish brand is good, but most of the local car brands are from joint ventures, so at least half domestic with r&d done here...

We have money disappearing too here, but the HSR projects have been doing allright. Of course, the projects always go to Erdogans people.

This is not PPP, this is a loan for a train line thats going to be build. We dont have private trains or train tracks in Turkey. I can see the construction of this line from my mothers house in her village, it had been a very slow construction so far and I hope it will speed up now with the...

TOGG and Ford Otosan do not even compete afaik. Ford Otosan is mostly producing commercial vehicles. Ford Otosan is very much export focused. Every cent spend on an employee earning money, building the factory, R&D and at least 40% of the profits that are distributed (if at all) remain in...

Just my 2cents: Refugees and the money spend on them dont just disappear. They are spend on food, rent and groceries and most of it end ups in the economy anyway. I, for one, like to see the exodus of Russian and Ukrainians IT professionals to Turkey. Can't compare them to refugees from Syria...

Ford Otosan is 40% Koc, 40% Ford and 20% free float. Ford Otosan has also bough Ford Romania and its plant. It is one of the biggest players in its market.

Are you still in the region or did you make it out?

EV have a long way to go when it comes to cold temperatures. Once AC is running and the battery is cold the maximum range of my car for example drops to 50-60%.

They should be angry at themselves too, where was the air defence of Croatia? This is describing pretty much why NATO is effectively 5-6 countries contributing, and the rest are free loathers. This was the only thing that I ever agreed with coming out of Trumps mouth.
