    Casual Discussion China's Space Station is luxurious compared to ISS

    No offense, but the ISS is old and reaching the end of its lifetime. Cant compare it with something that was launched for the first time this year. Nevertheless congrats on the station.

    Organization of Turkic States

    A possible Turkic Union in the style of the EU, as an economic block would have around 150m citizens, a young population and would be a decent sized single market. But 80 m out of those 150 m would be Turkey. 720m € out of the entire GDP of approx. 1bln € would be Turkey. We would absolutely...

    TR Casual Discussion TOGG - Türkiye's Automotive Joint Venture Group

    We dont have the expensive labour force of Germany, but 30k Dollars or around 27k € would be very cheap for an SUV. But thats the price range they need to go for if they want the masses in Turkey to buy it. Maybe even cheaper small cars. The government orders alone won't safe the car. Also...

    Thats for the new Simsek aka Gökdogan (I confuse the names) right? but for the old one we have in inventory right now, same story (minus the explosives)?

    So thinking about the Karabakh war, would target drones like Simsek be sufficient to keep enemy air defence busy and to expose their positions, the way Azerbaijan did with their crop dusters?

    Embarrassing, I hope those responsible will be persecuted. Harassing a person, a civilian, whether US-military or not for something that has happened a decade ago and that guy has nothing to do with is low.

    CAATSA is a law, and those US senators can demand (result of good lobbying) whatever they demand. If the US exempt the Indians from the sanctions, thats when you get furious and rightfully so, but not because some senators demand something. Thats something thats ordinary and has no implications.

    All the gains right now are because of the devaluation of the lira, what happens when it stops? Clearly this is not an economic strategy that has been thought through or maybe it is and the issues will have to be solved by the next government and the next generation.

    This export success is build on the shoulders of employees that have effectively been earning less and less because of the inflation and no real wage hikes to compensate. The people are suffering and eventually wages will have to rise once the employees are sick of it, which will then again heat...

    Medium-sized and family-owned companies are usually best for Stakeholders and a good middle class with a good income. Once companies reach the size of Koc, Sabanci and the likes they usually only ever care about shareholder value. This is just my personal observation.

    Ethiopia's Tigray Conflict

    You think they would let the billion € dam just rot? Its already there, not a project anymore. This is one very overlooked conflict. It boggles my mind how the Tigray that represents 6-7% of the total population is able to expand like that. And to be honest I have little knowledge about the...
