Ban regular phones for government employees for government work, stipulate large purchases for large contractors. Widespread use of WhatsApp for even the most delicate government functions at all levels is a travesty.
I of course don't personally know your friends and may have overstepped. My apologies on that account.
I'm just saying this region of the world has seen countless examples of that. Yugoslavia, Rumeli, caucasus front, Western Anatolia, Cyprus, Syrian Civil War etc. Formerly very "integrated"...
Their nationhood rests on anti-Turkish historiography. Your friends would probably not blink when they kill you if it came to that. We all know what local greeks of Anatolia did under greek military. Blood is thicker than water.
I've made my peace with KE + Anka-3 until 2035. Can't unf*ck what's happened. Whaddayagonnado...
Unless we copy f110 for which I'm still hopeful. Yes I know güçhan is fake and a joke, but technically speaking I think we can start pumping out f110 clones in 2 years if we set out for it...
I'm telling you, you don't need to worry about them. People who think like this have zero political power because they will vote Erdogan directly or indirectly, therefore accept his machiavellian machinations. Anyone who swallows that kind of rhetoric has their brains mortgaged to whatever...
Victory in Karabagh can be considered Turkish victory in some sense. It's not our achievement, meaning we didn't %100 make it happen. I would describe our contribution to the war effort as minor but indispensable. In the end, it's a giant win that helps us a lot with our geopolitical position...
Ottoman military history is a little more complicated than that.
Janissarries were a glorified palace guard corps at the start. And remember the very first ones were literal convert prisoners of war. Over the course of this beginning stage they gradually built their esprit d'corps, traditions...
It doesn't take concentration camps and famine for a regime to be considered a dictatorship by the way. For a dictatorship you need:
No legitimate political competition (can't elect your way out of it).
Bossman has unilateral authority to rule over all 3 branches of government.
If North Korea...
Anti ballistic missiles need rocket engines and they need to be produced in bulk, like at least 5-6k.
Other kinds of air defence missiles also need it but there is a logical cap where producing more would be illogical. Conventional air threats would be fewer in number than ballistic missiles...
Iranian accounts are talking about a possible Kuwait operation. Americans are poised to go for Kharg or Bender Abbas.
This war affirmed the age old reality: Victory is at the tip of infatryman's bayonet. Everything else is just a complication.
Kubilay Yıldırım says production facilities and personnel that would be directed towards F-35 are now doing other stuff, civilian or indigenous military projects. Those are finite resources so this means some of it must be redirected.
If KAAN gets sidelined even %1 I'm going to be royally pissed.
These conversations are getting really stale... Just saying
We are now in a one-man system. Regular politics will not change this, because all the political channels are already tied into knots. AKP is president's personal fief. MHP is basically a MIT front organization. CHP is also controlled...
