Italy has been the driving force in Libya's economy before the wars. They still have the contacts, the contracts and the advantage of being closer. Anyone remember Gaddafis son playing in the Italian League briefly?

No need to take it all within ten years, we need to consume it little by little because it will offer flexibility in long term but in short term (if we extract all) will only cover 10 years and then offer no or little advantage in negotiations with Russia & co.

Just to add to what @TheInsider said, the ships we acquired were on the verge of being sold for scrap because of the low oil/gas prices. Those ships cost 400m €+ if you buy them new, we bought all of them for less than 100 m € each. Of course exact prices are not know.

Countries worldwide have been ignoring communist and far right parties for decades. I dont agree with your statement

Or maybe Turkey started buying the expensive gas from Russia, that its contractually obliged to take or still pay and not take it. These take or leave contracts are a pain in the ass and expensive as fuck.

That's there real issue. If Turkey grows 7% this year and your wage stays the same, you're getting fucked.

Just some context here: Exports have got cheaper and imports expensive with the fall of Lira. Also, the pandemic has led to fewer imports of oil and gas and even before that the oil and gas prices were on record lows for the months prior.

I sense a lot of insecurity with our little snowflake. @Saithan and other mods, why is this kind of behaviour tolerated? That guy is trying to silence others. @Cabatli_53 & @admins of this forum, is this forum going to share data with the Turkish government? Where are the servers based? Do...

The government isn't supposed to meddle with the central bank in general. Central banks are supposed to be independent. Thats not the case in Turkey and even less so now that more and more personnel is removed and replaced by Erdogan. This among other things results in the Lira losing value...

Ooops I did it again, I played with your worth. Got lost in the Game oh baby baby. https://www.ft.com/content/b7115d35-54be-465f-92c2-3463f4c596f6

The way I see it, Bibi is too gaining in popularity with the conflict heating up again, is that correct?

Protestors with RPGs and Grenades? At that point you stop being a protestor.

I stopped caring about this conflict two decades ago, its like a record on repeat. Every 10 years or so. I was planning to go to Tel-Aviv this year, maybe it'll be cheaper now. Regarding @500 vs. everyone else in here:

I was in Turkey last week in the village of my grandparents. They turn on the garden hose in the morning to water the plants and turn it off at night. Lots of people have their own wells and think that the groundwater will be there forever. Yet at the same time in 7 days I have witnessed that...

Well I am against naming it anything like that, because I dont want to see a drone named like that ever being shot down.

Shaking my head at all those people thinking that NATO is dead or that Turkey will ever leave it.

Finally the government has done the right thing and agreed to buy 120m doses of Biontech, which will arive till autumn. 30m alone in June. How did they ever think that China was going to be a wise choice. We have lost so many months and the tourist season is now seriously in danger. Biontech...

I was in Turkey last week and shocked about the garbage issues. I saw multiple illegal garbage dumps outside the city.

I call BS on that. Ever single eastern European country has only two things they are afraid about: Russia and Refugees. Maybe except for Greece but I count them as Southern Europe.
