politically speaking greeks are very similar to armenians, in their hearts nothing but insecurity, inadequacy and hostile intent. However the greek state isnt as mental as to take the deep dive that armenia recently took in starting war with Azerbaijan. This is why greece constantly rushed to...
Lots of AK party supporters see the economy as a success story too. Syria was almost a total failure. Actually i think up until a few years ago, everything we were doing FP related was a disaster.
Personally im not a fan of the MB, at its core its was also set up as an anti-Turkish entity, however it was the only organisation that would bring hostile nations towards Turkiye in this era, Morsi was doing this with egypt. Had Morsi remained in power i suspect that Turkiye/Egypt would have...
Just out of interest has the MB succeeded anywhere? Is there any countries where they are in power and the country runs generally fine? One thing i remember Morsi doing was his rush to Islamises egyption society, so much so that even erdogan when visiting morsi in egypt made a speech about...
do you remember all the posturing they were doing against Turkiye in Libya?
Sisi was trying to threaten Turkiye that they were ready to send the egyption army into Libya is Turkiye makes more gains, when in reality just hiding behind the increased Russian presence there.
we must have had a thousand "normalisations" under AK party, none of them lasted longer then a few months. What matters ultimately when dealing with these states is power. I suspect a big part of advertising all of these military developments is about sending a message to these hostile states...
While I can personally agree with many/most of your points, where i will disagree is that the underlying cultural character of the Russian is fundamentally different to the westerner.
As much as i get you want to expose the hypocrisy and as a Turk we experience it first hand daily where our own...
Honestly i wish we would send more strategic items. Maybe some air defence systems, guided rocket artillery and larger drones with stand off munitions.
The sense of justice, honour and dignity is important. We read about these characteristics every time our people rise in history. A good example is Tonyukuk, when these ideas are put into practice our people rise.
The sequence you mention is very interesting.
I remember when i started to...
I feel sickened to say this but i think the armenians are destined to end their own state by their own actions. Before the Ukrainian war i had this feeling that eventually what would happen is the armenians start another stupid war and lose it, then the Russians move in and annex the entire...
If i were in charge of this Russian invasion i would have made sure that the regions the Russians take that the Ukrainian population are treated exceptionally well so that the message would have been relayed to the rest of the country that things are good under the Russians.
Instead they did...
The cultural contamination over a historical event over a hundred years old, based on a complete one sided victimhood perspective is so entrenched that its inevitable where this heading. The Armenians cannot help but to constantly kick the hornets nest.
The armenians for example are not even...
There is no international pressure or scrutiny on armenia to behave. To the contrary it looks like both the americans and russians have been blowing smoke up their arses to further encourage them to escalate the situation.
To whole reason we had armenians boasting about a greater armenia is...
potentially.
A rational argument made is that weapon delivers have been incremental as to not escalate the conflict with Russia, so now western tanks are supplied where had they been suplied day one maybe the Russians would have done something crazy. Basically the boiling frog approach, the...
Americans to justify massive military budgets also used to massively hype up the Russian military in order to get the required funding. To me this is a similar trick to socially engineer a perception that creates more urgency to get things done for Ukraine.
