This has been obvious for a while now. All the rollouts etc have been crafted just in time for election for maximum exploitation. Add in the conspiracy theories, that even some in here believe, that the defence industry will no longer be supported, for example. Which is of course BS.

I can confirm what he posted, it made quite a bit of buzz in defence news and social media accounts back then. But my 2 minutes spend googling couldn't find a source for it.

Polls are looking positive for change. The Head of Konda, known for the most reliable polling in the country, says that chances are good for the Alliance. Markets have been rallying quite a bit after the announcement. One thing is certain, it will get messy in the next two months.

Wow, that is some next level of corruption.

They wont even matter IMO. What will matter is whether the moderate half of the HDP will vote for the AKP or the Alliance. Once again the HDP voters will be the deciding factor is my prediction.

No scientific data or anything on Saadet, but in a country where Alevis have historically been persecuted and suppressed - there's of course going to be many people that wouldnt vote for KK just because of that. Especially in conservative Sunni circles stereotypes are present. Saadet Party being...

We do not get the candidate we wanted, but the one we deserve. Nothing left but to root for the opposition coalition, if you want to see change.

I know it's pretty morbid, but I saw a video of a dump site for all the rubble and the guy said it's smelling pretty bad. Sadly, very likely that not all bodies will be recovered (ever).

How? We buy Russian oil too. Do you wish to complain to an organization that we're not part of that your neighbour is not obeying their rules? If these pictures can be obtained through open sources, I'm pretty confident that Brussels knows but cant/wont do anything about it.

Interesting article about that one "luxury" building in Hatay in FT: https://ig.ft.com/turkey-earthquake-apartment-collapse/ The US has set up a field hospital in the Hatay region and transferred the facility to the Health ministry...

500m € would make it the biggest single drone order so far in the country, but sadly its split by three. Good to see good old ANKA still being relevant.

That's what social media and non-stop propaganda through government media does to people. Or some people.

So no help is better?

From what I gathered from journalists reporting in Brussel, is that the EU really wants to massively help. Of course all of that is just empty promises until something is actually done. But the statement is a very positive one. We'll see in the upcoming weeks and months. I also dont share...

Looks like the EU is all in on reconstruction in the earthquake regions: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/commissioners/2019-2024/varhelyi/announcements/commissioner-oliver-varhelyi-ankara-turkiye-joint-press-conference-he-mevlut-cavusoglu-minister_en This is way beyond what one would have...

I've been buying Turkish white goods for a decade now, but I hope that one day they can get rid of all the Telefunken's and Grundigs and just rebrand them as Beko or whatever is their best performing brand + 1-2 low-cost brands and stick with it. Otherwise, its just watering down their core...

Well we should demand and sue for our money back adjusted for inflation, interest and consider if there are any fines for contract breach that can be applied. But the US-LM contracts are probably watertight.

The UAE has hired many capable engineers. Don't do to others what you don't want to happen to you and your countries news and developments. Quit trash talking other countries developments, you know. At least try to be nice to each other from time to time.

I responded somewhere else, let's stick to the topic.

I'll respond here, since it does not belong in the earthquake thread. 1.) I was mocking the stupid statement by the quoted user. 2.) It's a fact, dont be offended about facts. 3.) Dont question my loyalty, simply for stating that things can be better. I want what I have for everyone in...
