That would be nice but that's not how the world works. Ever heard the phrase "no man is an island"? It applies to nations too. You may not like either America or Russia much but one is clearly a much worse choice in the long run.

Greek and Armenian lobbies I can understand but why keep bundling Jews with them? Jews are probably one of the least hostile lobbies to Turkey in the US, if we analyze closely. And that's considering that Erdogan says on virtually a daily basis that Palestinians will be victorious, glory to God...

America may not be the titan it once was but trading it for Russia, a country that likely won't survive the middle of this century, is insanity. America will get knocked down, reform and get back up again as it enters its Roman Empire period. Russia already passed that period and is dying...

I find monuments to people to be cringe, personally. One aspect of Turkic culture I don't really like is that we venerate ordinary people too much, some of which, quite frankly don't deserve it whatsoever. Even the Ataturk cult of personality was something Mustafa Kemal quite disliked and...

Clearly someone hasn't been paying attention.

What don't you like about them, too much Hollywood-ization? BTW I agree at least about the Netflix TV series, they bastardized it. Henry Cavill is a decent actor but a terrible choice for Geralt.

Poland owes Andrzej Sapkowski a lifetime weekly payout for single-handedly making the entire country relevant in pop-culture. People literally only know the place for 3 things: 1) Winged Hussars. 2) Getting double-teamed by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in WW2. 3) The Witcher series.

I am not an expert but isn't there like 2 or 3 different groups that call themselves Alevis in Turkey with differing beliefs? And that's where the confusion comes from?

Don't be so sure, it's kind of a semi-well-known fact that intelligence agencies worldwide use fake profiles and sometimes even pay people to spy or shill for them online. It's not their secret weapon or anything but it is something that they have in their arsenal. Not that I am accusing anyone...

OK, I've been out of the loop for awhile, what the hell is happening in Afghanistan? What is this ISIS-K s**t? I only heard that 13 American soldiers died because it was all over the news but other than that...

I think you might be overthinking this a little. Resident Evil has always had this undercurrent of dumb logic where there are these evil corporations constantly releasing monster-making viruses on population and there's absolutely zero regulation imposed and it's always like 1 or 2 undercover...

Steve Jobs had a Syrian father and a Swiss mother and was raised entirely in America in an adoptive Western family. His mother flat-out left his father in Syria and went to San Francisco where she gave birth to the boy and then gave him to Paul and Clara Jobs for adoption. His father and the...

The Merkava's flattened turret frame wouldn't fit well on a UGV like that. Similar to why American UGV prototypes don't look like the Abrams.

I don't dislike Qatar because of their association with Turkey, my dislike for them is mainly because of what I know about the country and my personal experiences with them. They could be enemies, neutral or irrelevant, I'd dislike them all the same. But I will admit that I was wrong about BMC...

Carriers don't usually travel alone into danger zones.

I do think TB2's are kind of overhyped (the real secret weapon is Turkish EW) but RIA Novosti is just...LMAO. They are still probably assmad about having Russian fighters get completely humiliated by Rafales in test-runs conducted in Egypt.

I don't mean to start sounding racist or anything but, um, a big part of it is their overall culture. They are not really brought up with any kind of stability or respect for rules, only respect for "might makes right". People act nice to them thinking that they are just being oppressed but no...

It was never a Turkish company, it was a Qatari company masquerading as a Turkish one. Which also explains their utter incompetence. There's a reason why oil-rich Gulf nations hire foreign contractors to build their stuff rather than handle it themselves.

Czech firearms are actually REALLY good and considered world-class in quality. The rest of their stuff is admittedly kinda subpar but if Turkish companies are smart, they'll utilize this opportunity to tap some valuable expertise from the Czech side regarding small-arms production. What I find...

Honest question, what the f**k have BMC been doing this entire time? Have they actually improved the Altay in like...any way whatsoever?
