I am saying this as someone based in Germany and not very fond of Macron, but you need to get yourself some good partners for the Tank, Jet projects. Germany was a drag on defence project even under Merkel, but now with Green party involved sheesh.
Gas production is not everything, storage is important too.
Gazprom has been buying storages in Europe (i.e. Germany) and simply didnt fill them at all, unlike the other storage facilities. And thus creating a shortage of gas and who knows maybe all planned by the Kremlin to put Europe in a...
We have one Chinese saying one thing in here and many outsiders saying the opposite. I doubt that China will do anything, Taiwan is not worth the risks.
Russia was already sanctioned and is building a second Iron Curtain. China is very much export focused and relies on trade.
If anything Putin is proving everyone around that NATO is the past, the present and the future. We will see more cooperation and defense expenditure now.
I cant believe they really did it, they are attacking to conquer.
I sure hope that Russia will be sanctioned hard.
Best of luck to the Ukrainian people.
I dont give a shit about Cem Özdemir or his party, but the last couple posts made me do some research. I will quote some official statements he made regarding the PKK:

That actually sounds promising if they are sincere.
The EastMed pipeline is dead, EU countries have been way more rational then the western media made us believe and its clear that the EU is not as one-sided as S. Cyprus, Greece and France wanted us to believe.
If we play our cards right...
You're being polemic, but whats wrong with lets say an Azerbaijani buying 20% of the company and investing fresh money to expand production and r&d of new products?
As long as the IP and the majority of the voting rights remain under Turkish control, I dont see any issue.
This is going to be the first time I agree with Zafer, but if new money is invested and enables new products and expansion in exchance for a minor stake, I dont see how thats bad. It of course depends on the company/country investing.
Baykar right now is bootstrapped and has been doing good...
I dont care which party you're from, but if you're 70 something, you are to old to be the president of a country as young as Turkey. We already have a president struggling with his health, dont need another. We need young blood.
