This is too optimistic and your subjective view. Europeans and Americans love them. In Switzerland they are even paying piano lessons for the children of ex PKK militants who are unemployed and providing them an annual holiday budget. I think same bs in other European countries. As long as they...

Seems realistic. But no way MILDEN will be operational in 2030.

Just to clarify my thinking a bit more. I am not discussing here economic benefits or costs of privatizing some suitable assets. My focus (government focus may be something else) is how can we quickly get substantial money directly or indirectly to cover our defense expenses in the next years.

Bridge is important but you can sell its operation rights to a company. That does not mean that company can destroy it. You can also control its maintenance. And you will still protect it with AD systems. Also to bomb the bridge someone does not need to buy it, terrorists can do it without...

People indeed paid for the bridges and roads. Now they need to pay for defence spending. This is an indirect way for this. Assuming of course the money obtained is not used for other less worthy (audis for government functionals?) purposes.

This is not a bad idea if the price is ok. We need money now for our defence projects. This will be paid by people using those roads and bridges. As long as we dont sell critical firms and factories, no problem.

This is a symbolic move of only 250 policemen deployed to a confined area. PKK is still there. The threat of senator Graham seems to have stopped both Syria and Türkiye. Erdogan does not want to take the slightest risk and bear any costs, thus no surprisw that what he achieved appears to be more...

There is a new deal between Syria gov and YPG. Not good for us. They are joining the syrian army in three divisions. There is even another unit in Ain el Arab. This is not what we wanted. It smells like autonomy. It seems Fidan was not aware of this deal. I had congratulated him and Kalin for...

Great nations are great because they know how to deal with separatists and traitors. The problem with Türkiye is that it is too dismissive with patriots, and too lenient with traitors.

Very good observations. Kurds have all the rights of a Turk. Even in the old days they were elected to the parliament, and became ministers and even presidents. There were only couple of localized uprisings in the past, due to british manipulation, which were supressed a bit harshly, but this...

Barzani's proposal to send Peshmerga is openly challenging Türkiye. Barzani clan must be penalized and subjected to the same fate as YPG. We need to somehow undermine the autonomy of kurds in Iraq, working together with Iraq government. Their next project is to unite Iran kurdish regions with...

I also think that they mainly lost due to cowardice. Syrian Army does not have sophisticated weapons, either. In a similar situation, I think most other terrorist groups would have fought back better. I am trying to explain why it took for us a bit longer in our previous operations. There are...

Believe me if you reward those nameless heroes appropriately, they‘d be more than happy to do this for a few years.

We should We should get them and modernize. There was news on Hürriyet that Israel made a strategic offer to Greece to provide advanced technology in F35 capabilities, EW and missile technology both air defence and ballistic including production help etc. So it is very comprehensive. We need to...

I‘d be really proud if MIT has done this! We should do more of such Israeli style cleansing. By this occasion, I must congratulate Fidan and Kalin for the amazing work they did in Syria (I dont think Sharaa did it alone). It is rare to get a praise from me as I am usually very critical but this...

There may be another answer...

Syrian army is advancing towards Haseke. PKK wants to fight it seems. We should not allow there (especially given it will be more difficult for Syrian Army beyond Haseke towards Kamisli) a prolonged fight. It should be over within couple of days. Otherwise, there will be interference, either...

Even Aljazeera that belongs to Qatar (we should warn them) is making headlines like SDF, Syrian government trade accusations of ceasefire violation SDF: Syrian government attacking al-Aqtan prison in Raqqa Imagine what soon western media will be reporting!

This is why they dont have a state of their own.

This was not mentioned in any of the news I have been following the whole day. Also not clear from the cease fire agreement, which only talks about Raqqa, Dey ri Zor, and Haseke. But I assume the whole Syria will be governed by Sharaa and only Haseke, Kamislli, Ain Al Arab & Isa etc locally by...
