Its even simpler than that, just look if they go after China in the same way (esp given son preference in 1 child policy limit - compounding its demographic nightmare coming up). Basic consistency is thrown out the window and it all becomes acceptable then...and whole different range of...

Chad alert!

It will be marginal difference. Its essentially the same set of stuff being put into both for total life cycle cost + support.

You have a source for this? Last I chatted with some folks, molniya orbits are being looked into. At least that was what my contact in UTIAS told me is being funded....for about 15 years or so now.

It is why I personally follow Hurjet project lot closer. The timelines are sooner, more things matured/maturing quicker for it.... and it will illustrate the ecosystem maturity to take forward with TFX. i.e we will see good proof one way or another (of everything you mention having to come...

This is deja-vu, its all been discussed before at length in this thread. Point is Turkey has the capital machinery, understanding of the process flow and the higher management to handle it. Results are bearing fruit in the pyramid process to get to apex (as it relates to the big 3 there) at...

Issue like you mention is ruling elite need to integrate with the barons (who handle larger peasantry etc). Latter group is far larger and more invested in the country in basic monetary and conscription terms etc...that pays for and protects all the ruling class. The larger population once you...

Yeah and they get banned and return with more false flags with the same laugh emotes and BS assertions. They got lot of time on their end, they generally living off dole I guess. So actual critical thought and rational debate (proportional to one's realised productivity generally) cannot...

I would suggest members being very critical toward Turkish jet engine development have a read of earlier context in discussion to understand more broadly where Turkey stands in its own ecosystem basis...

So you just going to leave all these folks like this....in this manner....for pennies on the dollar literally. ...and take the gut punch to crucial things like trust and alliances going forward (that will now all be affected by this). It makes no sense to me. Occam's razor clearly points to...

That be as it may (and I guess we will see).... I strongly feel going purely by US perspective solely (which as you know I am aligned with in various ways...some more than others) there was severe botching by Biden admin from executive side. Given: A) Initial rationale for the intervention...

Tbh I can see why ottoman higher ups rejected it. The (already thassalocratic) empire is lot larger and beset with lot more issues (from their perspective)...compared to city states like Genoa (where C. Colombo was from) and Venice....and "medium sized" yet aspirational kingdoms (like Spain and...

Well that is part of the point I am trying to make. Afghans themselves have different perception of each other on tribal lines....as to who is local and foreigner. So how can they really come together and say collectively someone else is a foreigner? It boils down to are you interfering...

Occidental-centrism providing the raw fountainhead for understanding of history. The Occidentals (esp anglo saxon subset) have most of the soft power at large for it (in last few critical centuries)... I mean here I am typing to you in English after all. It was an Afghan (under much earlier...

Another thing I can't unsee now. Sheeesh. Thanks Fuzuli! You da best.... :P

This is true. Regardless, Biden (quite specifically him) has messed this up beyond all reason. There was no reason to rip off the bandaid at this severe impulse and depth. It is becoming quite clear now, he ignored and overruled pretty much every advisor and intelligence report afforded to...

In best of times (security + legal framework available in area), its headache for large infra logistics coupled with natural resource extraction (to pay for it)....in the hope that some of it is invested long term for something more sustainable economy wise. It is why the US literally brought...

It is funny and ironic that people conflate Islamism and Islamists (and opposition to them) as "hating muslims". I suppose there are lot of self-hating Muslims out there....according to them? Then the intellectually devoid make typical grandiose assertions and ad-hominem based on it.
