While I will not believe the claim just yet, I wonder if it has to do with NATO's concern about Russia? A few - US, UK, France, Italy, Netherlands, etc. Canada used to be pretty good too until politics completely cucked their military. Mind you, I am not saying that Israel's ground forces are...

I see. Thank you for informing me.

And Norway. And the United States which has a direct sea border with Russia from the East that the Russian government keeps forgetting about, which is weird since the US already used that route once to launch an expeditionary force into Russia to fight communists during the Russian Civil War...

I'm not an expert - would there be any interference in operations with such a setup?

Someone else brought up Ireland and Spain as comparisons but there's one major difference. In both cases, the relevant political parties were ONLY allowed to operate in peace after all militant activity ceased. HDP needs to be forced to renounce the PKK altogether and condemn their terrorist...

So it's basically just a fancy recycling plant?

Naive but let's see what happens.

I wouldn't say Kazakhs are all that racist against Turks or Azerbaijanis. Granted, this was early 2000s but I've noticed that Kazakhs tended to look up to Azerbaijanis. There are some Russified pieces of s**t among them but you can also find South Azerbaijanis who disregard their Turkic roots in...

It is easier to ask forgiveness than permission. The US won't care as long as no US soldiers get hurt. We've got bigger problems with attacks from the East. If NGOs start whining, ask the likes of Human Rights Watch why they have yet to condemn civilian protesters being declared as terrorists...

I doubt it, US and UK already have pretty lucrative oil and gas agreements with Kazakhstan and Nazarbayev was actually trying to move away from the Russian sphere of influence. The fact that Tokayev barely resisted, immediately fired everyone including Nazarbayev and then invited CSTO in speaks...

Mansur Yavas is like the one Turkish politician that basically everyone likes LOL. Even those who hate CHP in general admit that he'd actually make a good leader.

Ah, so you've finally become acquainted with the lovely Armenian diaspora of the Internet. Charming bunch, aren't they? One of the reasons I am skeptical of the current rapprochement attempts by us and the Turkish government. Not opposed to them in principle but it's far too early. Armenians...

A bunch of civilians demonstrate outside the capitol building for a few hours, barely touch anything, are accompanied and escorted by police at every step while political hacks like AOC make up sob stories about how terrified she was...several blocks away? INSURRECTION! THREAT TO DEMOCRACY...

That's because the Israeli Air Force is Israel's strongest military asset. Their ground forces? Mid-tier at best. Their navy? Slightly better but suffers from having been neglected for many years until they started making up for it. Their air force though? Ace-tier. Which is why Israel is...

It really boggles the mind why Turkey didn't offer to send any peacekeeping forces. Hell, why didn't WE offer to send any peacekeeping forces? Azerbaijan literally signed new military cooperation agreements with Kazakhstan a couple of months ago. They are asking for a reinforcement of the 1995...

I really dislike the steering wheel, the flattened bottom would make the grip really awkward when turning.

As much as Kazakhstan's government sucks, these protests are clearly on some level astroturfed. Fuel price hikes don't tend to bring out these kinds of crowds and having lived in Kazakhstan for about 3 years, let me tell you, these people aren't the French. They aren't even the Kyrgyz. And...

A minor difference, if any, in your case. Might as well put Pakistan as your country of origin. At least I don't mislead people that I am a pure American. I let them know my Azerbaijani biases straight-up. I also find it funny how you latched on AlphaMike's supposed US citizenship because...

Ah, I knew reconciliation this quickly was a mistake. Make no mistake, I was hoping to have Armenia be more friendly but f***s like the Armenian Revolutionary Federation? No, no, these people will become the same headache for Turkey that PKK is. The key is to get the younger generations of...

Then would it not be better to give the project to someone who can finish it quicker instead of needing 5 years to learn how to do it?
