When Turkey took afrin and killed the communist pkkistan chance of a port to the wider sea, it left a landlocked state that cannot self sustain itself.
Turkish military developments are advancing, timing is everything.
We used to see bigger threats against Turkey over Cyprus when the greek...
last time he changed the constitution he promised things would improve, instead the economy tanked even more since then. He changes it again expect 1 dollar to = 20 lira in no time.
Problem in Turkey is that people worship politicians and ideas more then the sanctity and sovereignty of the state. None of these parties have shown themselves loyal to the state and its people.
Unless the common Turk wakes up from his brainwashing he is destined to be cursed by traitor...
In england the kurdistan cause has been heavily promoted, the YPG are never referred to as terrorists. Their crimes are never exposed and Turkey is always shown as an absolute demon. When fighting occurs they highlight Turkeys war on the kurds, the ethnicity is always highlighted. They are...
You guys went from one retarded policy to another. From zero problems, to problems with everyone.
Swung from one failed extreme to the other.
No nuance, no balance whatsoever. Just like the s400 purchase, kicked you out of the F35 and gained no influence over the US or Russia. A few months...
yes, greece in every sense of the word is a slave state to eu/us interests. We are not dealing with the greeks, we are dealing with their owners.
What Turkey should have been doing is conducting an information campaign within greece to wake her citizens up to how she is being used and abused...
What your boys did is make open enemies with everyone at once, while also uniting enemies together in their common cause against Turkey. The reward is a kurdistan in syria and all your enemies supporting and financing the greeks against Turkey.
shockingly inept politics.
Israel always had a two faced policy towards Turkey, support our enemies while also providing Turkey with some lessor support. But since erdogan went full retard against Israel, the Israelis have gone all out against Turkey.
You have to pick your battles wisely.
are either of them any good?
I used to watch mma back in the pride days, but since the UFC took over everything that mattered i have no idea whose good or not outside of it.
Its just a shame that AK party made such a mess of syria. Basically opened the doors for kurdistan and then for that kurdistan to be used to threaten Turkey directly.
Erdogan has made several incursions into syria and each time he's stopped them short, leaving the situation to continue to...
Also internationally the Russian brand took an exceptional pounding last year. Their military ally armenia getting absolutely crushed wasnt good for prestige either. By all means they needed to limit the Turkish presence over this victory.
Yes two sides of the same coin.
Balance is required, any political extreme is bad news. Most people are drawn towards the middle, but are manipulated to swing to either extreme.
Yes, That's why people have to disconnect from both the left and right both are merely tools for the rich elite to manipulate the masses.
The left wing nonsense in Turkey is bad, but so is the totalarianism of the ak party islamists too.
Ironically what you talk about actually happened to Turkey but it was done using the Islamic ideology. FETO an american owned entity played a big role in this. Just think of all the ideological subversion that was conducted against Turkey via western owned and financed islamist entities like...
Its very easy for government/intelligence agencies to sabotage peaceful protests. Very easy. It happens all the time in the west.
The media then controlled by the government shows the "violent" scenes as away to completely delegitimise the protests.
Unfortunately Turkey is trapped in a catch...
Where the americans and europeans completely miscalculated was in judging Turkeys military capability and resolve to fight. They were expecting Turkey to be another typically useless middle eastern/muslim army.
They thought if they create enough problems in Syria Turkey would be either be to...
Feeding and protecting 10 million syrians while various terrorist enemy entities exist within Syria that directly attack Turkey, gives Turkey plenty of legal right to be there. There may be more syrians under Turkish protection now then are currently under Assad controlled regions.
