I actually somewhat agree with mulj that Turkey simply making nice gestures towards Israel won't fix anything. People are under the delusional assumption that it's only Turkey's inflexible foreign policy that brought things to this point but, uh, even without Erdogan's Palestinian sympathies, I...

It won't work, Europe won't take anymore regardless of international law. Hypocrisy? Yes. Inevitable? Also yes. Turkey won't be able to get rid of refugees by offloading them to Europe. There's only one way to get rid of them and prevent further incursions but it takes someone willing to make...

Afghanistan is important because it allows the US to control Central Asia and keep out China. A not-so-well-kept secret about the Taliban is that they have very good relations with China and possibly even Russia, since their representatives recently went to Moscow to meet with Russian officials...

I think it's worth remembering that Turkish Cypriots are ultimately separate from mainland Turkey and have/had their own cultural evolution and path. They shouldn't be forced to agree with Turkey on every single thing. I respect Turkey and am thankful for them backing our rights in...

I'm confused, these guys are drunk and dancing on top of a gate. They are not destroying anything or even touching anything. Why is she suddenly screaming about oppression and moreover, why is she tagging Blinken here? I've seen drunken youths here dancing on top of graves or even climbing...

Until shit goes down again in Palestine and Erdogan starts screaming about Jewish Nazis. Israel doesn't trust Turkey and that's going to strain relations going forward regardless.

This was just an insanely fucking stupid thing to do. Kyrgyzstan was just warming up to Turkey and this action basically pissed away all of that goodwill just to grab...one possibly FETO guy. On the assumption that the Kyrgyz government is already infested with them, so this will literally do...

You are misunderstanding me. I am not saying that Assad should become Turkey's best friend or anything but that it might be useful to make some "agreements" like with the Russians to collectively flush out the YPG cancer. Assad may have supported PKK in the past but right now, they are standing...

Both articles are poorly-disguised apologist pieces for the AKP. The opposition and an increasing amount of Turks don't hate Qatar because of some imaginary nation-suicidal tendencies or Qatarphobia, it's because Erdogan is selling out Turkey piece by piece to Qatar, while not attempting in the...

I'm not a fan of Assad by any means but I'm honestly skeptical after years and years just how much of the "Assad gassed/shot/bombed Syrians" claims are true and if he really did intentionally start the war. He is certainly an asshole but I can't help but think he got slightly scapegoated in a...

I'm not sure going for Chinese spyware just to spite the US is a good choice but what do I know...

Wasn't there a deal at one point with Rolls-Royce that fell through at the last minute?

Let's be nice to Bosniabro guys, we're all friends here even if our politics differ. We wouldn't be on the same forum otherwise. How are thing in Bosnia, mulj? I really wanna like Imamoğlu but he strikes me as too much of a politician if that makes sense. His ideas align for the most part with...

Whoa, whoa, whoa, what the hell happened in this thread?

"We don't care about our mistakes, we can fight the whole world by ourselves!" You know how a lot of people in Turkey are paranoid that foreign powers want to carve the nation up for their own usage? You are giving them the ammunition to do so with such dumb actions. Erdogan is giving them the...

I'm not really sure how much Daily Sabah can be trusted here, considering that I saw at least one leaked video of a refugee admitting that they were given exam answers ahead of time but if it was fair, good on him I guess.

Last post I'm making about evolution. Islamic theology is frequently used to justify terrorism in the modern world. Does not make it fair to write off whatever merits it may have based off just that. Evolutionary theory was also used to justify a whole lot of heinous actions. Does not make it...

Well, I did say that GNA should be aiming to kill him IF he is stupid enough to kick hostilities off again. You may not think much of the guy but he IS a figurehead.

Yeah, just see the recent "news" on Turkish "use" of child soldiers which was actually referring to proxies and with zero evidence provided. BTW, I guarantee that at least one of those interested countries is Spain.

Charles Darwin was a biologist, naturalist and geologist with a particular interest in marine life. Evolution theories didn't even begin with him, multiple scientists proposed similar ideas, even religious ones who proposed that evolution was a process guided by God. The latter list in fact...
