It's actually more than that, a ton of Azerbaijani Jews live in Israel who are pretty patriotic about the homeland. Unlike Turks, we don't tend to identify with Islam very much, the Soviet Union beat it out of us plus a significant chunk of the ADR's founders and prominent Azerbaijani...

Kinda surprised to see some Turks shitting on this guy in the comments all because he was working security in Israel.

Oh Canada, never stop sticking your foot in your mouth. Whenever Americans feel bad about the shit going down over here, we can look up north and feel just a bit better about ourselves that we're not quite as cucked as Canada. Regardless of whether Nazi Germany is excessively vilified or not (I...

I actually don't think it's unrealistic at all. Groups like the HTS and YPG are opportunistic most of all and commenters on here and elsewhere have talked for ages about what a massive mistake it is for Turkey to tolerate HTS.

Portuguese drive to search for an alternate route was driven by a desire to reduce expenses as the middle-men involved in the land route were taking too much. This is different to the principles at play here.

From an economical and logistical perspective, an India-Middle-East-Europe route is probably the worst proposition among the 3 available ones. As @TheInsider mentioned, the existing route through Suez is basically the superior one compared to the alternatives but even then a route trying to go...

1) Of course you can. Quite a few former communist states were exactly this way. What you just described with private property falls under the purview of economic leftism. In terms of social ideology, USSR adhered to many traditionalist views. They tried going the "freedom to do anything"...

Many of those who do so tend to be on the Russian payroll but even aside from that there it's not particularly ironic. The USSR may have been economically leftist but it was overwhelmingly culturally right-wing with only minor left-wing elements. There is a popular tendency among American...

I mean, it's California. Using it as a measure of American quality of life is practically cheating, their local authorities are basically 99% batshit insane progressives.

I know that but her symbol was not that of the crescent moon and star.

The crescent and star is not a symbol of Artemis, her symbol is a bow and arrow (which makes sense because she's a goddess of the hunt) which sometimes gets confused with a crescent moon and arrow due to how simplistically it was drawn. The late Byzantine era also used a moon and sun symbol IIRC...

I'm trying to be nice here but, ahem, what kind of engineering expertise could Saudi Arabia potentially contribute that the other 3 don't already have? Their only card to play is deep pockets and I don't think the other 3 are that desperate for cash.

EU does a lot of stupid things, doesn't mean you must follow them. You might be confusing demoralization with desensitization. Disney is run by crazy ideologues nowadays but I suspect this has more to do with their increasingly awful financial situation. A lot of Disney projects have been...

And now it makes sense. Well played, Russia, well played.

No offense bud but is this your first time on the Internet or something? Videos of violent encounters going down have been around for years. And frankly I'd rather have news media post direct proof of what has gone down than trying to BS me with some mealy-mouthed "interpretation" of what went...

AKP did withdraw from the Istanbul Convention. I sometimes think that women's rights laws in the US are a bit too much but then I see this and consider that not having them could be much worse.

The only thing people will remember about Barbie 3 months from now is Ryan Gosling as He's Literally Me, sorry, I mean Ken.

His expression never changes so how can you tell?

At best you could argue that nuking two cities was excessive when the US could've just bombed one and then dropped another one in a more desolate area to make the point that "yeah, we've got more where that came from". But that was more Truman being annoyed that Germany had already surrendered...

It does annoy me how almost every single Turkish character in Western movies is depicted as a gangster of some kind but at least in the case of John Wick 4 almost everyone agrees that this dude was easily the best part of the movie. Scott Adkins was great in the role, I thought he was just a...
