There has been conspiracies floating around for years that Western border control deliberately lets in and ignores criminal elements that sneak in. How many times have you seen an aftermath analysis of some terrorist attack only to hear "perpetrator has been on the authorities' radar for years...

These US sanctions apply to the job position not the individual themselves. Demir was sanctioned as president of the agency and Haluk will be the same.

Can anyone tell me if they spotted a single woman in the refugee column? Because all I see are men.

On the other hand, Turkey is a country that literally gave us the word "deep state" to describe behind-the-scenes shenanigans. Food for thought.

Yeah, funnily enough the Taliban is the one kind of opponent that Iranian suicide drones are not well-suited for. They are too mobile and don't have a lot or any significant military infrastructure to target.

They really need to stop with this "the educated, best and brightest would never vote for Erdogan". Regardless of how true or not that statement is, elections have never been won by insulting your potential voter-base. There was an American political commentator, I forget his name, who wrote a...

There might be chemicals in camel urine that could be beneficial, just like there are extracts from toxic plants that are used in modern medicine but I wouldn't advise anyone go around drinking mixed camel urine anymore than I would recommend people go around eating poisonous plants. You are...

LOL why would you hold a firework in your hands after lighting it? You're supposed to place them on even ground and keep safely away, it's a goddamn explosive.

If opposition wins, Ozdag needs to push for them to immediately strip all those illegals of citizenship.

Safavids were an Azerbaijani dynasty (though Iranians have done their best to vandalize Wikipedia on that account) and Iran has never ruled more than half of Afghanistan which did not include Kabul. And as Agha points out, Afghans also had their empires ruling parts of Iran in the past.

Ignoring the rather questionable painting of all Persians as liars, it's quite possible for the Afghans to be sick of Iran's bullshit and also get egged on by America. You can't generally convince someone to attack somebody else out of nowhere but if there's a solid foundation, you can give...

Who is more trustworthy here? 600K does sound a lot more believable than 3 million.

I wouldn't underestimate Iran, they have a decent-size military arsenal and the Taliban so far is fighting a bunch of border guards and conscripts. If the Revolutionary Guard gets involved with tanks, drones and the lot, then I think we can more accurately assess how capable the Taliban is of...

I don't think it's people hating Pakistan, more pointing out that it is a very unstable nation and Turkey shouldn't rely on them too much for critical cooperation. I personally wish the people of Pakistan to succeed in making their country a better place and genuinely sympathize with the good...

Somebody could have asked him why Turkey couldn't take the Meskhetian Turks instead. Also Erdogan seems thinner and weaker. He always had bad posture from what I observed but he seems a bit more sloppy than old age would suggest.

See, this is why citizens should be armed. Refugee comes at you with knife, you blast him with a shotgun. As the Germans can attest, those make for especially painful wounds so the assailant will learn his lesson. I can criticize many things about America but the right to bear arms is something...

Would like to point out that bride kidnapping wasn't originally about being a malicious rapist like people assume but originated as a practice where a young man "kidnaps" a young woman who already agreed to marry him but her family disapproves as a way to force the family's acceptance of their...

Interesting, thank you for the information. Didn't know about the border changes.

Isn't the Taliban already fighting ISIS, Afghani pro-Republic insurgents and Pakistan? I'm genuinely amazed that they decided to go and pick a fight with Iran too.

I frankly think that every single young Afghan and Pakistani man in Turkey should be given a choice: a) Stay in Turkey and become a slave with no rights until the end of your life and your body burned for fuel once you die. All your property and fancy luxuries will be confiscated and given to...
