Zero chance of that happening. If you read the 2021 NATO Communique, 1) they are intending to fast-track Georgia and Ukraine's membership, process has been finally approved for both, 2) Article 5's limitations have been severely expanded where any individual member can call it in at any time and...

They don't have the infrastructure or the capability to maintain them. As it explains in the article, Iraq heavily relied on American contractors to keep their equipment up and running since there's a lack of experienced engineers that can perform those tasks among the Iraqi military.

As usual, when poor, little Armenia is in deep trouble, the big boys come to bail them out. $2.6 billion, sanctions on their opposition, getting weapons for free... Meanwhile, when we ask for even a bit, we immediately get hit with every criminal accusation under the sun and when we point out...

The only major thing that Pakistan really has in terms of weapons that Turkey could want is nuke technology. And that's the kind of thing that you make deals for under the table not above it.

There are no friends in politics, only common interests. Or in the case of the UAE, trying to kiss up to their competitors to get a winning hand since while they have the money, they clearly don't have the brains to use it well.

I wouldn't get too cocky yet. Turkish weapons' industry IS growing but it's still a fair bit away from being on the same level of quality. I mean, here in the US, Turkish weapons are currently at best usually synonymous with "affordable but it works" and at worst "cheap c**p that blows up in...

Turkey needs an alternative to HDP. HDP is known as the "Kurdish party", which is where their strong-point lies. Turkey needs to promote an anti-separatist, pro-Turkish Kurdish party. Ideally, there wouldn't be any need for a Kurdish party because wannabe separatists would've all f***ed off and...

No way in hell did he hold on for two years and then "succumb to his injuries". Someone in Hamburg finished the bastard off.

Polish firearms industry is pretty decent. Not Czech quality or anything but considered pretty solid.

A better question is why they didn't do this earlier. Blockading and starving your enemy is a time-honored tactic in warfare, terrorists would stop using tunnels virtually overnight if they knew that the Turkish army would simply collapse the entrances and leave them to suffocate to death in the...

No, it's that you have bad reading comprehension. The US has laws against abuse of women. The Taliban doesn't, because they don't believe women deserve the opportunities and protections that they are afforded in the US. I never said the Taliban don't have laws altogether. Understand now?

Because I am basing it on what the Taliban themselves proclaims to believe. Education for women? Forbidden. Women being able to vote? Not happening. Women having any leverage against abusive husbands? Gone. Women being able to wear something slightly more relaxed than a fully-covering black...

Armenians already tried to exterminate us from there once, first during WW1 and the post-war period and then again in the 90s. We hit them back the first time and their Bolshevik and Entente backers (with help from you guys) and then completely broke apart due to internal infighting in the 90s...

The US has laws against this and organizations dedicated to punishing crimes and upholding women's rights. The Taliban doesn't even have such laws. A woman abused in Afghanistan now has nowhere to turn to. Additionally, the US has almost 340 million people. Afghanistan has barely over 30...

While Afghanistan has been a mess, the US has been way less brutal than the Taliban has and will be. So yeah, women's rights is kinda relevant. I don't mean to disparage certain commenters here but please, please don't lower yourselves to the level of actually supporting these savages and...

Gotta love the sheer arrogance of Armenians to be screaming about liberated territories...that weren't even part of the Azerbaijani territory they were originally claiming and in fact were (supposedly) going to give back under Ter-Petrosyan and even Kocharyan in exchange for Azerbaijan...

Huh, I was under the impression that Turkey only had around 170 F-16s. Guess I was wrong.

Just for comparison - when the Soviet Union withdrew from Afghanistan, Soviet-trained Afghan forces held the line for 2 years before being overrun. NATO hasn't even finished fully withdrawing yet and the Taliban has already won. LMAO.

One saving grace is that Afghanistan is quite far away, as opposed to being right on Turkey's border.

Just a reminder that even though ANA is awful, the Taliban are not saints and will be a plague upon Afghanistan all the same.
