It is the construction or governance form that is at fault here. Iran's influence is breaking it apart. Syria had some kind of stabilizing effect but ever since the civil war Lebanon has been thrown into absolute chaos.
@Philip the Arab how is Jordan doing in all this as I recall it Jordan was...

I think it's important to remember that as technology becomes freely available the drones will reach higher sophistication.
I would love it dearly if we could expand with passive...
I would invest in this. 0 interest I just want my money back if I invest 100k USD that's the exact amount I'd want back be it 5-10 years wouldn't matter. The state can't get a better investor than that.
Stop with the ad hominem.
USA did not rebrand YPG to SDF for Turkey. But for their own western citizens and for their own politics.
Hamas should also rebrand themselves and Hizbullah. But I doubt they will.
Well according to the article I posted, securing the airport would maybe help keep some missions open, but if we want to be the one to harvest all the gains, why would we want to secure the airport and support the other missions so they stay in the country and can harvest the gains ?

Turkey would help rebuilding through TIKA just like anywhere else. I do not think it's necessary for TSK to be present and remain as a manifestation of what Western oriented allies did. Anger needs to be redirected and they'll have TSK there for the outlet of that anger. Let's remember Somalia.

We don't even have the money to help rebuild Libya, which is much closer and we can sail to it.
How are we going to rebuild Afghanistan in a region that is more problematic. China and Russia would have easier time rebuilding Afghanistan, especially China, given their investments in Pakistan...

Interesting, why step down a day before the official retirement age.
Because I can't beam ressources from Afghanistan to Turkey. So staying there while every other involved nation but the neighbors wipe their hands clean is not my cup of tea.
If we stay behind and have to withdraw that'll also be a stain upon TSK. So it's better to leave the region and see what...

Pakistan will gain nothing from the cooperation, long term or otherwise. Since many other countries are able to field UAV and gather intelligence.
I guess the US needs to open up the coffers and get used to nodding "yes" to a whole bunch of demands expected nothing in return, but to reach a...

Says in the article that Indonesia is ordering 8 F-15EX. French Rafale is quite expensive tbh, but if you need them, then you need them.
