His last statement is a little bit odd. I get that while Turkiye was unaware of the tempest project that they offered joint development on the MMU. Ok they were not interested and then a year later they announced their own project.
But isnt that business? The UK is doing whats in her own...
You dont get respect for nuking a much smaller and weaker nation you invaded/attacked because your army was getting her arse kicked in. To the contrary they nuke Ukraine because of the fact their failing big time and it will further tarnish their reputation. They will become that big pussy...
For people to come to conclusion that nuclear strike on Ukraine could lead to capitulation is not unreasonable. But there is enough difference, enough nuance to anticipate that it not only would not lead to capitulation but it would only compound the disaster that is Ukraine for Russia further...
I dont think so. Using nuclear weapons on Ukraine will set a chain reaction off that geopolitically will cost Russia in the long term.
For starters dropping a nuke on Ukraine will not end the war. Ukraine has the material backing of much of the west and as well as other nations of the world...
respectfully disagree. I don't see Ukraine surrendering after a nuclear strike.
secondly the atom bomb cemented americas positions as the number one power. Russians dropping nukes on Ukraine will not cement her position it will only elevate global hostilities and increase support for Ukraine...
yeah in general before the nukes the Japanese were considering to surrender, they were done as a fighting force. Nothing was going to stop america conquering that nation and their was no outside powers that could help sustain a war effort for Japan the same way nations are helping Ukraine too...
Its what comes after thats important. If the Japanese knew surrendering meant that their entire cultural identity, independance and history would be completely erased by the americans, they wouldn't have surrendered either.
And what comes after a Russian occupation of Ukraine is very different...
If Ukraine capitulates what will follow will be worse then nuclear strike.
The Russians will sweep the entire nation, within the first 6 months hundreds of thousands of patriotic/nationalist Ukrainians will be rounded up and executed. That means your father, your brothers or you sons could be...
The most important thing for Turks is to have the platform to display their skills. For many decades Turks who had brains could find no opportunity in Turkiye to utilise their skills. Now their are positions for intelligent and capable Turks to get to work. Japan had this opportunity for her...
yeah manpads are not going to bring civilian airliners down. Also worth keeping in mind that the PKK/YPG commies were/are given manpads by both the USA and Russia.
The moment it goes hot watch the US, EU, Russia and most Muslim majority nations come out in condemnation of Azerbaijan. Armenians yet again will be the instigators of this conflict and the international media will lie and portray them as the victims yet again.
I wonder if the greeks will send...
