This is actually pretty smart because those facilities are a major reason why the US and other foreign actors even have an interest in the PKK, destroying them means the PKK is no longer of as much interest to those entities, which makes them extremely vulnerable. I'm legitimately surprised the...

Yeah, this warrants a vicious response.

Chinese should be the last ones complaining about copying considering their J-20 is a blatant duplicate of Russia's MiG.

Might not be Russian equipment. According to this guy, we already have an EU mission monitoring the Azerbaijan-Armenia border.

I guess I'm looking at an unfinished WIP but I don't think anti-thermal coating works with this many exposed parts.

I assumed that it was based on whose condolences the Turkish government was aware of at the time of the tweet. Possibly some countries' messages of sympathy hadn't been read/heard yet at the time?

Strategically, Bakhmut could serve as a good staging point to launch a new Russian offensive right into the heart of eastern Ukraine, problem is that Russian forces are too incompetent to pull that off without getting flanked and hammered by Ukrainian forces. Especially if they are using Wagner...

Italians are historically very good at buttering up their rivals with a friendly facade - see Italian merchants and the Ottoman/Byzantine Empires. Turkish influence in Libya is great for Italy because they get to reap the rewards without doing shit and they don't even have to share with France...

Seconded, @Mehmed Ali, there is no need for such massive hostility.

My sincere condolences, I thought you guys were past this shit.

Yep. They blocked us for around 2 days IIRC which gave Armenians time to regroup and meant we suffered losses that we wouldn't have otherwise if we managed to keep pressing our advantage. Can't confirm for sure but apparently they backed off once Turkey threatened to get involved. It really is...

Oh man, not again...

Yes, Russia did suddenly attack Ukraine. If by power struggles you mean Ukrainians chose, surprise, surprise, the EU and the opportunity to become a functional country instead of a shithole like Russia, sure. Doesn't mean Russia had the right to invade Ukraine, unless you have some very, very...

So Russia invading Ukraine was just propaganda of the colonialist, capitalist west (BTW great job sounding like a Margarita Simonyan soundbite)? Everyone was just collectively hallucinating Russian soldiers marching across the border into Ukraine and all the bombed Ukrainian towns? And please...

If they don't want to, no. Even presidents aren't required to swear on a Bible if they don't want to. Theodore Roosevelt didn't, for example. Kyrsten Sinema was sworn in using a copy of the US Constitution. So Oz is quite free to use a copy of the Quran if he wants to, though I suspect he'll do...

The comments in it are amusing to say the least. Russians trying their best to assure themselves that the minorities being sent to the slaughter are still loyal.

Seeing stuff like this always reminds me of that famous quote by a British officer in WW2 which goes something along the lines of "the Germans assumed they'd be bombing everyone else while nobody would bomb them".

South Azerbaijan is the main flashpoint that could inflict major cracks in Iran and throw the floodgates open for all the other non-Persian ethnicities in Iran to try and make a break for it. That's why they are worried. Funniest thing is that south Azerbaijanis used to be some of the most...

The US didn't try to stop us from liberating the entirety of Karabakh. You know who did and who has "peacekeepers" in Karabakh right now? RUSSIA. If Russia collapses, that's the opportunity of a lifetime to actually get Turkic states together if you actually are for Turan. Some people...

According to some leaks, companies have been paying Twitter for years to "earn" their blue checkmarks so it seems like Elon is just extending that same courtesy to the general public.
