I would be careful there, instead of Erdogan being Putin's b***h, you may end up with İmamoğlu serving in the same role.

Yeah but that's the point - "assumption". None of us can know for sure and in those cases, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Then "inform" the politicians that if they do so again, there will be problems. I have trouble comprehending how a nation that is so proudly nationalistic most of the time got cucked so hard by a bunch of Islamists.

We have no idea if they do or do not. Going by a hunch that someone else may tip them off does not mean throwing all caution to the wind. Keep your mouth shut and keep in mind that someone else may have told them about your operation. Then proceed with those two points in mind. The US, for...

Why are they openly discussing launching operations? You don't tell your enemy you're going to attack, you just attack. Now literally everyone in the PKK/YPG knows that an attack is coming and has had time to dig in. This is like if before launching the Spring Offensive in 1918, the German...

Germany has a population of around 80 million, which is about the same as Turkey. It also has major energy dependence issues. It's a valid comparison.

1) Which is an additional issue resulting from mismanagement of the economy. 2) Perhaps in Turkey they don't. Because they can't comfortably afford it without having to save up with several months worth of wages. Which is, you know, the problem here because that isn't what should be happening...

It's a marketing trick. The very act of UK's interest in Turkish technology will still boost their reputation regardless of whether the UK makes a purchase or not.

Fair, my analogy was not the most eloquent and calling yours "stupid" was a bit too far, I apologize for that. @Nilgiri put it much more coherently than I did.

Pashinyan always sounds like a hostage being forced to read stuff at gunpoint when it comes to agreements with Azerbaijan. But if it means that Armenia upholds their promises for once, I can deal with it.

That's as stupid as telling someone saving up for a used 2010 Toyota to buy a hunk of junk from 1980 instead. It's cheaper after all, so who cares if it's old and about to break down any second? Why should the average Turk have to work much longer than the average Russian or Mexican to afford...

I'm pretty sure people will start killing government officials in the street if its gets that low. They can't be that stupid.

The iPhone parameter is a legitimate measure. In fact, any luxury good is. The point being, the average Turk has to work insane hours for long periods of time just to afford an iPhone, something that most people in other countries that aren't completely broken hellholes can afford after 1 or 2...

I'll blame the current government as well.

Yeah, that's my point. Turkey has the potential for its citizens to do and have better but you seem to think that Turkey only deserves governments that excel at awful things like the above. Japanese are no more a hive-mind than anyone else. Turks are originally from Asia too, don't forget. We...

Turkish people literally work some of the longest hours in Europe. You know who works one of the shortest? Germany. Because they work smarter, not harder, and German society is oriented around this principle. Invest in public education and opportunities to give the best and brightest a chance...

It depends on how strong the Japanese nationalists have become in government now. They have been pushing to get Japan out of the US grip for years now and looking as Turkey as a major potential partner for the future. China is far less able to exert pressure on Turkey for now than the US.

It is very much possible if, you know, the government didn't wreck educational institutions across the board and wrecked the economy so bad that Turkey's best and brightest are fleeing overseas to contribute their talents elsewhere and help them develop even further. But no, surely doubling...

So there's Armenian fighters in Karabakh. Despite the ceasefire agreement specifically saying that Armenia was to withdraw all armed forces from the region. Honestly, why the f**k do we even bother to play nice with these people.
