    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    Look, I'm not gonna get into this whole shitflinging contest of Russia Bad vs. Russia Good but you are incorrect about several point: 1) Access point means nothing if the Black Sea becomes Russia's plaything. At that point, Turkey either bows to pressure or gets ready to fight for everything...

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    Germany is hardly Turkey's best friend. The Turkish-German alliance of the 19th century was basically an attempt to soft colonize the Ottoman Empire and make it a part of the German Empire, even the agreements on military and economic cooperation were signed with the caveat that the Ottomans...

    TR Space Space Programs

    Iran started in the 90s with stuff from Russia, officially opened their space agency in 2004 and made their first launch in 2008/2009. Turkey only really started, what, a year or two ago? That's a pretty good track record. A work-in-progress website for a space agency isn't the...

    TR Casual Discussion Çay Bahçesi

    Why are you guys creaming your pants over some fancy lights displays? We're talking about the UAE. Those guys have so much money to throw around that they could do shows like this every day for a whole year and barely make a dent in their profits. :LOL:

    Huh? Iran literally shut down their space program due to funding cuts.

    Russia Army Land Forces and Vehicles Programs

    Ukraine has those too. It's going to end up a game of "who can disable the other guy's artillery first" since the Pion is designed to be mobile enough to avoid quick counter-battery fire.

    Live Conflict Military Operations Syria

    Staying forever isn't possible, just ask the US, but attempting to build up governments in those areas that will crush the PKK of their own volition is something that AKP, for better or worse, appears to be working towards.

    What is the Algerian government's/people's attitude towards what's happening in Libya?

    Opinion Could ETC guns be a giant step forward for the lethality of tanks?

    Nice. Apparently the US military is thinking of trying out ETC on the future models of the M1 Abrams.

    I am not up-to-date, could someone give me a quick rundown on what makes Halil Falyali such a significant figure?

    Russian Geopolitics and Economy Discussions

    Very well, let's switch to PMs, if that suits you better. You still haven't pointed out how the likes of the Baltics and Poland are engaging in anti-Turkish activities. You still haven't addressed how allowing Russia to take over Eastern Europe without fighting back f**ks over Turkish interests...

    You are still doubling down. Let me refresh the situation for you. 1) GoatsMilk points out that the number of independent media outlets in the US is shrinking, almost everyone is owned by the big 6. This has nothing to do with journalists getting arrested or whatever, it's a comment on...

    Russian Geopolitics and Economy Discussions

    Here's a hint: reputation and international relations, two very important things in the global arena. The kind of knee-jerk, overly emotional reactions you are proposing here would have everyone saying "Turkey is an unreliable ally" immediately vindicated and anyone who supports Turkey within...

    Live Conflict Military Operations Syria

    My current country is the US. The country from which my bloodline hails is Azerbaijan. The topic I commented on was that a lot of American media is owned by only a few companies, which has nothing to do with journalistic freedom. I'll give you this, you are the master of the non sequitur.

    That list is even smaller now. Viacom and CBS merged in 2019 and 21st Century Fox was bought by Disney in the same year. Time Warner is owned by AT&T, who also has shares in Comcast if I remember correctly.

    That's the stupidest possible action Turkey could take. Just think for a moment, Turkey gains nothing from this and loses much. Also, Estonia is the least likely place for Russia to attempt any military action in. It's by far the most valuable of the 3 Baltic states (Latvia being the least...

    Bro, give the guy who negotiated the sale a raise. That's some next-level price gouging.

    Mohammed bin Salman’s dissatisfaction regarding UAE and Turkey’s rapprochement

    No, Oman is the smartest. They are so irrelevant in the region that people forget they exist. And when it comes to the Middle-East, people forgetting you exist is often the best thing that can happen.

    Live Conflict Military Operations Syria

    Something is off about this operation. Before they claimed that the guy blew himself up, there were reports that US operatives tried to breach the compound but couldn't due to heavy machine gun fire and decided "f**k it, bomb the whole thing" and launched a missile at it. Then afterwards it...
