The US in general is kinda terrible at training proxies. Vietnam, failure. Afghanistan, failure. Iraq, mostly failure. Syria, epic failure. Korea, actually not too bad but that was like 70 years ago.

Cool but I thought we officially accepted it last year?

K9 is getting really popular.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/28/world/middleeast/isis-syria-prison-sinaa.html Boom. Just grabbed a random NYT article from Google talking about "ISIS militants". I get that your main goal here is to just find any way possible to shit on Turkey but this is reaching.

I don't see the issue, calling them "militants" doesn't mean not acknowledging they are terrorists. US media has also called members of the likes of Al-Qaeda, ISIS and the Taliban "militants" before.

Hmm, I'll need to look deeper then, I haven't seen anything like that yet. The problem is that it wrecks air quality, especially in Indonesia's big cities, and can cause a lot of lung problems. For example, there's been research linking poor air quality with tuberculosis...

Four things: 1) The official document is very clear - Karabakh remains in Azerbaijan. Not transferred. Not given. Remains. Read it for yourself. 2) The reason it was chosen to stay in Azerbaijan is there weren't enough majorities of either ethnicity to tip the balance. Where the Armenians made...

You mean this? https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/indonesia-starts-construction-of-31b-coal-gasification-plant-to-cut-lpg-imports In terms of EROEI, that's around a 5:1 conversion ratio so not particularly good but given that coal is something that Indonesia produces heaps of, it seems...

Why is Assad there? I thought he was YPG's best friend now.

I am not sure which genius in Armenian government thought that proposing that both countries leaving their borders unguarded was a good idea but I want some of what they were smoking. I guess trying to sneak into Karabakh to plant mines is a bit more difficult now that our army is watching...

Indeed. Very good news for the Turkish manufacturing sector.

I used to love Need for Speed games for the sweet soundtracks they put out. That guitar, man...

Tengrism is actually inspired from ancient Chinese religion. Tengri appears to be based on Shangdi or rather the early versions of the tian concept in Chinese faith (ancient Turks even had a similar concept to the Chinese "mandate of heaven" IIRC). As we came more into contact with monotheistic...

Well at least with a face like that no one is going to accuse her of being a Turkified Greek, lol. Sorry, bad joke.

My dad participated in those protests. Nearly got run over by a tank. At least it's getting more widespread recognition now. Back in the day, barely anyone gave a damn. And the Wikipedia article got "corrected" by the usual suspects again.

Not really a conspiracy theory. And that image is flat-out incorrect. Rotax isn't used, for example. Yes. The US has been testing exoskeletons since 2011, France and Britain have both been working on exoskeletons since mid-2010s and even Belgium has done work in the field with projects like...

No, I have Russia mixed up with Russia: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/why-is-germany-tolerating-russian-chemical-weapons-facilities-on-its-soil And that's just a start. Armenians tried to shit on Turkish drone tech by yelling about Wescam producing cameras for TB-2s...which wasn't...

Chuck a landmine into a mortar setup and call it a day. Well, it's a cheap solution if nothing else.

From Smolensk? Не смешите мои тапочки. They'd end up screwing over half of Belarus and much of the Baltics and Ukraine before reaching the Turkish Navy in the Black Sea if it's as powerful as you claim.

You guys have Germans producing weapons for you, Russia is just as reliant on foreign tech as it was before.
