    How the Turkish strategic mind and the Turkish Special Forces Command took the biggest hit in the modern history of Turkey

    about the last picture: every country prepares for the worst case and its the task of the military to prepare for war with their neigbours, so of course you're going to have plans for that. Probably have the same for all neighbouring countries and defense plans too.

    1. Against who in Syria? will only escalate things. 2. will only escalate things and make it worse 3. that will make Turkish good expensive and I dont think the Ukraine has the same customs union we do with the EU, meaning transport + custom fees will make Turkish goods unattractive. We dont...

    What can Turkey do without hurting its own economy? This is not a fight on eye level, as I said EU represents 50% of our trade, they do have more power over us than we do over the block of around 300m people. Refugee deal comes to mind but the borders are closed and locked. Frontex is helping...

    The EU is biased because Greece and Southern Cyprus are EU members, don't expect them to be neutral. Germany is pulling all its weight and expected the government to show some goodwill. Not giving up anything. But still the majority of the EU is on Greece side. Whether we like it our not the...

    And another indicator that the government is anticipating the worst, there seems to be willingness to talk to Israel about the EEZ. A positive sign but I dont know if Israel is interested in talking EEZ when they already got a good deal with Southern Cyprus. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Israel - all...

    The German block will follow Bidens lead and the others want to sanction Turkey anyway. So one way or the other the country is now facing sanctions from the EU and US. The government needs to make 1-2 positive or at least not negative moves if it seriously wants to improve ties and avoid sanctions.

    To be fair you need to compare Turkey to other emerging markets. Canada is not in the same group, already a developed country. Brazil and Russia are similar, but Russia ofcours is facing sanctions because of Crimea and more. Take a look at Russia when people say that sanctions will be good for...

    Companies that have debt in foreign currency will default, meaning less tax revenue. The country borrows money in foreign currency and will have a harder time to pay them back because of less tax revenue and the falling currency. I doubt that all projects will be able to continue if hard...

    Let me remind everyone that sanctions will mean slowed down economy, maybe even recession depending on what and how hard. And that will impact budgets and defence projects.

    They have to eventually open up to civilian purposes. Rotax sells and produces more engines for ATVs, snowmobiles or even jetskis than defence. That's where the real money is. Open up a civilian branch for sales and reap in the cash.

    Turkey opens secret channel to fix ties with Israel

    It's not about gas or cooperation. Good relations with Israel will influence policy makers in Washington. Governmentis trying to use the Israelis to mend ties, soften the impact of the incoming sanctions. Issue is, nowadays Israel is not as isolated as it was 10 years ago. So is Israel going...

    Turkey offers international training on combatting desertification

    You need to take care of those seeds and do it properly. I have been donating money to TEMA and they actually maintain their projects properly and still only 90% of the seedlings make it into trees. Those drone actions, I dont know how successfull they are.
