So no help is better?

From what I gathered from journalists reporting in Brussel, is that the EU really wants to massively help. Of course all of that is just empty promises until something is actually done. But the statement is a very positive one. We'll see in the upcoming weeks and months. I also dont share...

Looks like the EU is all in on reconstruction in the earthquake regions: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/commissioners/2019-2024/varhelyi/announcements/commissioner-oliver-varhelyi-ankara-turkiye-joint-press-conference-he-mevlut-cavusoglu-minister_en This is way beyond what one would have...

I've been buying Turkish white goods for a decade now, but I hope that one day they can get rid of all the Telefunken's and Grundigs and just rebrand them as Beko or whatever is their best performing brand + 1-2 low-cost brands and stick with it. Otherwise, its just watering down their core...

Well we should demand and sue for our money back adjusted for inflation, interest and consider if there are any fines for contract breach that can be applied. But the US-LM contracts are probably watertight.

The UAE has hired many capable engineers. Don't do to others what you don't want to happen to you and your countries news and developments. Quit trash talking other countries developments, you know. At least try to be nice to each other from time to time.

I responded somewhere else, let's stick to the topic.

I'll respond here, since it does not belong in the earthquake thread. 1.) I was mocking the stupid statement by the quoted user. 2.) It's a fact, dont be offended about facts. 3.) Dont question my loyalty, simply for stating that things can be better. I want what I have for everyone in...

So my post was offtopic too. But let's stick to the topic from now on. Tensions are high, so let's try to stay focused.

You're wrong. First my region does get earthquakes: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erdbeben_auf_der_Schw%C3%A4bischen_Alb_1978#:~:text=September%201978%20um%2006%3A08,20%20Sekunden%2C%20je%20nach%20Standort. All the other things that you have just said are BS with no value or proof.

Greetings from the clown show in my earthquake safe flat, the highest living standards in the world and a democracy that is actually working. Good that people like you dont run Germany.

All major construction projects in the country go to 5 companies for almost two decades now. All of them close to the President. Same for other public tenders. All of them go to the close circle of the president and his friends. Free press has been largely destroyed with heavy tax fines and...

Sabanci and Koc used to be very much the Chaebols of Turkey, but the current government is supporting and building their own chaebols. But thats a bit offtopic for this topic. But feel free to ask me somewhere else if you're interested.

What I dont like about the news is that Otokar will deliver within H2 /2023. Meaning, their order book seems to be at a rather low level currently.

They have no power, a loud barking minority of a minority amplified through social media through PKK supporters. And Turks, who share these events and incidents and make them bigger than the PKK could have ever wished for.

They want to leave the earthquake behind them, change the agenda as fast as possible. Everyone knows why.

Understandable. We're not a rich country, we dont have unlimited funds. Hospitality has to have limits too. Might even add a recommendation/advice to move to their families in Syria, if they are in the nowadays peaceful and secure areas of Syria. Germany is taking in refugees from Syria on 3...

I think you can organize temporary tents and places to vote. And allow people that have taken refuge in other cities to vote there. Or postal vote. If there's a will, there's a way.

Also reports that a smaller Israeli group had to retreat because some idiots threatened them. About US help:

Unfortunately, the rescued people have a pretty high mortality rate in the next 48h after rescue. Watched a report of the German rescue team and the lady they saved that sadly died shortly after.
