Well if we're approaching it from angle of personal tastes and likings sure thing bud you've got every right for outrage, however if you're approaching it from an economic/political angle, my guy you're not richer than the US who needed to share the f-35 program with multiple countries to lower...
Algeria could possibly opt for Turkish fighters if the Russians don't solve their production issues (especially if a tech transfer/cooperation agreements were put on the table). Something I personally hope for...
Well imho it's a no brainer, but I don't think it will come to that, you may remain on good terms with everyone and as long as there's a persistent interest relations will not be cut (Algeria is on bad terms with the UAE yet out Nimr family joint venture keeps expanding). Now if anything happens...
Huh, seems there's conflicting informations regarding the numbers (6vs10) and the model (S Vs aksungur)... We'll know when they join the service I suppose
1-being a supporter for an independence movement doesn't imply interest in territorial annexation, if anything it's contradictive to it. Again, provide a proof or concede.
Fyi: Algeria isn't the only backer, South Africa, Nigeria and Libya (in it's good days) are its biggest backers along with...
1-if no Algerian official made that claim nor did it show in any Algerian governing institutions literature, then what are you basing your claim on ? Fan-fic? Cmon. As for the backing of the SADR, yeah I've made if plenty clear above, to check Morocco and stop it from attempting to annex others...
1-Algeria clearly lacks the population density to sustain an extended war effort towards the south without full mobilization of the northern population (where the majority is concentrated) which would seriously damage the economy, so an annexation attempt by Algeria is completely out of the...
1-algeria has no territorial claims over Western Sahara nor sovereignty related interest, Algeria has two principles guiding it's stance, first is idealistic concerning the backing of fair and just (and international law compliant) liberation movements and decolonialism, second would be...
Yeap there's that and there's an insane drugs smuggling operations to stop, Morocco's a leading poppy producer, that harvest needs to go somewhere afterall.
From the president's speech they're more focused on naval and aeronautical technologies. Algeria and turkey have a long (and glorious) shared past regarding navy.
The message was already made, Algeria made it plenty obvious that under the new administration the economic aspect will determine the nature of the relations, now since turkey is the country with the biggest investment they'll reap the benefits of that (and it's a win for Algeria too since...
What's sad about it all is the fact that Egypt has such a massive untapped potential, all being thrown away with crippling loans over a seriously flawed and corrupt vision...
That's the funny part, and not only did they lock themselves in an arms race they can't win, turkey's spending stays in the economy since it's a major manufacturer, theirs leaves the economy and would continuously bleed them out since they'll need to import spare parts too...
If you're reliant on the GCC to keep you standing might as well rely on a shark to keep you from drowning, Iraq didn't come even close to relying on them as much and look where that got them. They consider every non monarchy an existential threat because of the region's history (last time a...
Egypt with its manpower and large army is probably one of the most important players if not the most important one, it's just that you guys are competing so it is obvious why you don't look eye to eye
yes absolutely, better let libyans solve it themselves with minimal on the ground assistance. last thing you want is involvement in a full blown war with the locals hating you everyday a bit more because like it or not the average person perceive you, an armed foreigner, as an invader and the...
Political postering. Reality is what appears on the ground and what's concrete, not politicians pats over shoulders during meetings. By this logic turkey is a strategic ally (or a client state whichever you see fit really) if we adopt what politicians say on meetings instead of the on the ground...
