The same cultural base of problems that leads to corruption and nepotism, also finds solace in the idea of death penalty and citizen vigilantism. None of these are solutions; the countries you hate have them all in plenty.

The point is many buildings collapsed in Chile's 8.8 and Japan's 9.2 earthquakes, thousands in fact. The seismic isolation with sock absorbers which are trending on social media are very expensive solutions set aside for bigger projects, so they're not used as extensively as people think they...

what kind of a fucking world is this. we can't do anything. i hope the death toll is not as bad as some people are insinuating. but the images of cities that look like war-torn areas is very scary.

This video has 2.8 million views. How? 6th gen to REPLACE Hürjet?

What I'd love to see is a concerted swift action regarding engine development. Government should create the incentive for Kale and TEI to join forces in a joint venture for the here proposed 20k and 35k engines, to speed up future testing operations among other things.

Temel Kotil has stated in multiple interviews that, unlike MMU, they don't have any qualms about using foreign parts in Hürjet and they have opted to procure parts from wherever they could just to finish the project, and they prioritize practicality as opposed to MMU which is a strategic asset.

Well one can posit a natural interval of favorability between two nations, which will be in flux between its maxima and minima. The comparison between eras before the positive feedback loop of nationalistic hatred overtakes nations is a sombre reminder of alternative universes. Even such...

a) I didn't start that comparison, I just replied to a comment saying that they'd rather live under North Korean conditions than accept partitioning of the country (which I would like to think would be my choice as well). The reification from being under sanctions for developing nuclear weapons...

Prosperity is the strongest revenge. You're deluding yourself if you think you'd be ok with living under North Korean conditions, rather than having a smart public perceptions campaign, to both get what you want and not give ammo to your enemies to act without discretion. All these defense...

Nukes has helped North Korea so much, it's unbelievable. More than 60% of your exports is to Europe. This idea that all Europeans unconditionally see Turks as untermensch is only true, if you're only interaction is with weirdo political nerds on internet forums. These same Europeans had a much...

America attacked Vietnam in the cold war, not USSR.

Public opinion is quite important in the eyes of western institutions; they do seem to have an almost omnipotent capacity to form it, but it too has its limitations. Whatever coordinated campaign you launch through your "free" "independent" media, and the "independent" analysts who write for...

These consulate closures by several western countries was very obviously expected to draw a hostile reaction from the Turkish government; therefore, in my view, the west, under the strategic leadership of U.S., is adamant in giving all the ammo the AKP needs for domestic propaganda before this...

They know it, they just don't care enough about the country's international image and long-term reliability to separate propaganda for domestic electoral use and what they convey through international diplomatic discourse.

Definitely not, the submental fat on the guy in the picture, among many other things, says otherwise.

No, it's a documentary made by a Ukrainian T.V. channel called "1+1", apparently the second biggest channel in the country.

You know what Chinese billionaires do with their money? They invest in American startups, buy treasury bonds and shares in U.S. stock markets and gobble up properties in American cities. America has been in decline since the 80s, but they're so securely ahead that they can slack for another...
