I say it is to be honest.
History cant be divorced from geopolitics.
Turkiye is apart of the Middle East just like how it is apart of Central Asia, Balkans and North Africa.
If Turkiye ignored its own geography it would not be keen on supporting Ukraine against Russia.
Afterall Crimea is...
People think they are cannon fodder.
Thats not true.
In warfare, soldiers have always have to be bred to have nothing to lose.
Even if the West has the technology to minimise casualties which they have achieved.
Their soldiers always have the belief to return home safe and aound and in...
Not to mention they confiscated our F35s.
The West aka the So called Free World is treating Turkiye as a pariah or an enemy just like Russia and China.
They only used us because we were useful against Russia now our use by date has passed now they see Turkiye as an enemy.
Turkiye should try...
You dont realise this but Eastern regardless if its Middle Eastern to Far Eastern cultures have always been about sacrifice for the greater good.
Even if Arabs sacrifice a million of themselves they believe its for the greater good.
Japan sacrificed millions of soldiers in WW2.
They always...
By this rate the Police should be turned into military soldiers.
Pretty ridiculous with the budget they are getting.
Once again proves to me the Government and the Military dont trust each other.
Settlers are much worse than the IDF.
Settlers known to destroy houses even burn people alive.
If they did this to Turks. Us Turks would be hanging them in bridges.
Most of the settlers are fanatics both hardcore Jews and Hardcore Zionists.
My one state solution.
Is both of Palestine and Israel under Turkish rule.
Since these two cant stop butchering each other.
Both need to be canned with a stick just like the good old times. I think the world is sick of this conflict.
I watched this documentary.
It was pretty good to be honest.
Lets be honest if Russia was invaded its these rural people who will fight back and die for their country.
Urban dwellers will easily surrender. In the Turkish independance war guess what Istanbul our capital easily surrendered to...
Turkish communities either left or got assmiliated.
Most left and came to Turkiye most over time got assmilated. This was pretty normal for people to melt over with majority overtime.
Hence why there is no Turkish presence in Egypt unlike Syria and Iraq with its Turkmens.
20 years they have been boycotting and protesting.
And it hasnt done jack shit.
Still everytime I talk about this its controversial among the Muslim communities.
Let them boycott International and domestic travel since Boeing and Airbus make planes for Israel but nah they wont they would...
