    Christmas Truce of 1914

    Yeah, it was mostly limited to a handful of regiments in Belgium. And it wasn't some "let's hug and sing kumbaya" deal, it was a few soldiers exchanging gifts and playing a friendly game of football while everyone else tensely watched on, expecting things to blow up at any moment. Elsewhere on...

    No pro-U.S. propaganda here. It's straight from Turkish and Russian sources. Oh, is it 15 now? It used to be 10. Which really just underlines my point that the Russians are never leaving. They do this stuff everywhere, set a supposed "time limit" and then that time limit magically disappears a...

    Eh, Armenia occupied territory in Karabakh for no other reason except not being able to tolerate living in a country with Azerbaijanis and actually still holds a part of said occupied territory thanks to Russia. Aside from Cyprus, where Greek Cypriots tried to exterminate their Turkish Cypriot...

    Eh, am I the only one a bit concerned about the immediate warlike rhetoric here? I mean, if Greece attacks you then by all means go ahead, kick their ass, but it doesn't seem like the situation warrants "let's go wreck those SOBs, boys" just yet.

    I'd be totally OK with stopping the Akkuyu nuclear power plant project. It's not beneficial to Turkey in the slightest, it's basically extortion by Russia. They will own and operate it with their own workers and charge Turkey for electricity generated by it while it is located on Turkey's own...

    Pitbulls were specifically bred for killing. It's an animal, it does not understand anything except its innate instincts. I'm not saying it wasn't a tragedy but in this situation I'm partially inclined to blame the family who decided it was a good idea to get a pitbull as a house pet. It's like...

    Look on the bright side Turkbros, the sheer magnitude of this economic ineptitude will likely go down in history. You guys are going in the record books, maybe they'll even archive some of our posts for the future. 😁

    That's because the drones helped Ethiopia's government turn the tide against Tigrayans and unlike Iran and China, who won't listen to the US and don't have to, Turkey is part of NATO and therefore the US establishment feels justified in bitching at you guys. As for why, it's because the US is...

    Damn, so we really did succeed in weaning Europe at least partially off Russian gas and going with the US offer instead.

    Analysis Azerbaijan, Turkey, and Pakistan's geopolitical triangle

    I personally see this as a general positive. The more friends, the better. "B-b-but they are backwards Islamists!" So are parts of Turkey and Azerbaijan. Just go up north close to the border with Russia in Azerbaijan and you'll see nutjobs with no less of a medieval mentality than those found...

    Nilgiri, I get the overall point you're trying to make but it seems like even if we ignore everything else about NATO, India vs. Turkey population size, etc, the point is that CAATSA is being used inconsistently. If you think that users here are attacking India because of this, you are...

    Russia lacks the offensive capacity to invade Ukraine.

    Congratulations, it took Russia just under a week of a full-scale offensive against a tiny country with limited resources to get what they wanted. BTW, don't pay attention to all the humiliation the Russian air force suffered in the process, that's totally fake news. Meanwhile NATO runs a few...

    Russia has been backed into a corner, they tried to play both sides, now they realize that the West doesn't care about them at all, so they have thrown their lot more or less completely in with China, sink or swim.

    TR Casual Discussion TOGG - Türkiye's Automotive Joint Venture Group

    I think we can all agree that the logo is horrible. Perhaps the forum can get together and create something and send it off to TOGG officials? Maybe we might get chosen, lol. For starters, I like the singular "T" design. No need to spell out the car's full name.

    This might unintentionally have the opposite effect though, where people will wonder "Why are they suing if they are not afraid of something slipping out?" and fuel even more speculation.

    I somehow really doubt that CGH was involved in the design. They are a globally respected company and designed logos for many of the most well-known brands in the world like Mobil, National Geographic, JP Morgan Chase, Showtime, NBC, PBS, Smithsonian, PanAm, etc. To make an amateur copying...
