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...

Apparently she was 13 and is now 17 with 3 children. He supposedly "fell in love" with her at first sight. And chewed her out for speaking Turkish on video and demanded she speak Urdu. I recall a similar case in France where a Pakistani migrant tried to kidnap and rape a little Russian girl...

If your concern is that the opposition will roll back investment in the defense sector, etc, I'm afraid your concerns are unfounded. Turkey's defense industry has been pushing on since the 70s and the Cyprus conflict. That kind of industrial investment is near impossible to contain by the...

Azerbaijan has a very strict border control policy. We wouldn't even let Afghan refugees into the country. Even Hazaras, who are probably the most abused ethnic group in Afghanistan and have some degree of a Turkic connection and sympathy from most of the general populace, have difficulties...

Illegal immigrants should not be allowed period, educated or not. People continuously seem to misunderstand one thing, here in America as well: IF PEOPLE DON'T EVEN HAVE THE DECENCY TO RESPECT THE LAW OF NATIONAL BORDERS, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THEY WILL RESPECT OTHER LAWS? They are criminals -...

Also, another example of the lengths Russian media will go to in order to defend their incompetence: Signs of black magic found at the headquarters of the Ukrainian military I half expect them to start claiming Ukrainian soldiers are killing Russian troops with Avada Kedavras if this goes on.

Please shut up and stop embarrassing the nation. You might be the first Azerbaijani I've come across unironically defending Russia's usual modus operandi. Are you not aware of what they did to us?

No, it's quite possible to send them back. Deportations of millions are not a new thing nor especially heinous. "But what if the refugees violently resist?" Then they essentially forfeit all their human rights and become a rogue element that the Turkish government won't even have to treat with...

This seems to be more of a problem with the justice system to be honest. Sure the demographics are concerning but the rapes, killings, etc, seem to be mainly a cause of lax law enforcement standards. American-style policing, for all its problems, does help curb such problems with overwhelming...
