    Actually, I do believe Lool and guest12 are right here. Kemal Kilicdaroglu gives me very strong weasel vibes and I've already pointed out before that I dislike Imamoglu because he's putting up an obvious front. Neither of them are good candidates and the fact that a separatist anthem was freely...

    I don't think Turkey is in danger of US-style insanity just yet. They start off with basic, reasonable stuff, like gays and lesbians should not have threats and abuse hurled at them for merely existing which even most conservative individuals can be persuaded to go along with as generally kind...

    Air-Force Croatia OKs Purchase of French Jets Before Macron Visit

    Nice. Should be enough to deal with any MiGs that Serbia might have and since nobody else in the immediate vicinity has anything better, Croatia is pretty safe.

    TR Economy & Updates

    I'm honestly just curious how long it takes before people start lynching government officials in the street and things get violent. Because they will. People have their limits and I suspect if the lira ever hits 1:20 exchange ratio, people will legitimately start trying to kill Erdogan and...

    It's not for hunting, it's for remote bomb removal. Say, you've got a minefield and you want it cleared without risking the lives of your engineers.

    Ethiopia's Tigray Conflict

    While I do think than an Ethiopian government victory is, from a utilitarian standpoint, the better option overall, it depends on Abiy Ahmed extending an olive branch to the Tigrayans afterwards. While I can partially understand where the ethnic tension comes from after years of Tigrayan...

    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    The articles cites Avia.pro which should be suspicious enough on its own but Avia.pro itself also tries to cites Ukrainian defense forces (which have made no comment that I could find) and flight tracking systems but the stuff I've found suggests that the TB2's are hanging around for a quite...

    TR Air Defence Programs

    Because it was never about any tech transfers or acquiring experience, it was basically blackmail by Russia. Turkey needs to hand off these S-400s as soon as AKP leaves and Russia (hopefully) no longer has major politicians by the balls. They have provided virtually zero benefit thus far. They...

    About time, I recently replayed Sniper Elite 3 and 4 back to back, really comfy sniper simulators.

    Ah, I see. So this is just to see if all the other parts run OK before the South Korean power packs are introduced.

    Azerbaijan Armenia Relations News

    The funniest thing is that most of them can't even find Armenia on the map. Literally, I saw a video of Armenians spamming Apple with requests to rename Khankendi to Stepanakert and they had to zoom in on Turkey first and then look around to find Armenia, lmao.

    I thought Turkey was completely blocked from having German power packs, were there some left over?

    TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

    I think he was implying the opposite, that Erdogan dropping from a heart attack would save Turkey. Not that it's ever going to happen. Presidents, prime ministers and kings have access to top of the line medical care that the rest of us peasants can only dream of.

    Even actual communists aren't this stupid. Their economic theories may be flawed but at least they are something as opposed to nothing.

    TR Defence Exports & Updates

    If it makes you feel better, TB2s aren't exactly top-of-the-line golden geese. They are cheap and reliable but UAE will still probably get some South African engineers to try and reverse-engineer it. Which is why you put counter-measures to fry everything if they try to pry it open. Yemen is...

    He really does have the most punchable face. And of course he supports Armenia, he's wanted France to annex half of Belgium for over a decade.

    TR Foreign Policy & Geopolitics

    I'm genuinely surprised that Turkey wasn't higher but then I remember that Ukrainians are still kinda wary of authoritarian governments and Erdogan's technically qualifies so it makes sense. Also Turks mostly had a reputation as sex tourists before but now it's more along the lines of engineers...

    https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-russia-ukraine-europe-vladimir-putin-8193787ec21ca2aded4a37fa325f07b5 I find AP news to be mostly on the money when it comes to early US government "leaks" and the fact that the only rebuttal thus far has been Jen "Next Question Please" Psaki denying it...
