I mean you say it is wishful thinking but it actually happened. For only a few weeks and it was destroyed due to a combined agreement of the USSR, Britain and America but it did happen.

A democratic republic would be ideal. The shah would be nothing more than a puppet to foreign interests.

US took over the country and was dealing with an insurgency for 20 years before deciding that there was no point staying with no concrete goal. The equivalent would be Russia taking over Ukraine and dealing with an insurgency not being stuck in grueling trench warfare for almost as long as the...

That was much faster than I thought, nice.

They are claiming South Azerbaijani territory now too. Don't recall them being that bold before.

MAGA does wield a fair amount of influence across all branches of government though.

Should've turned off the prison cell cameras and strangled that Calvin-Klein-wearing a-hole with his own stupid beard.

Wake me up when Iranians actually get something done with their "revolutions", they've been having these mini uprisings every 2 years at this point. Although maybe I shouldn't hope for Iranians to overthrow anyone because knowing what their opposition is like, they'll just bring back a...

A cunning government would pretend to agree to everything then arrest and execute every single PKK leadership figure who shows their face afterwards. But this government has about as much cunning as a goldfish.

Guessing there was subtext there that got lost on most people.

I think it's overly optimistic to assume that Russia's economy is gonna collapse any day now since as we have seen they have come up with some pretty creative ways to keep it limping along thus far. But I also think that Ukraine can keep up the fight for quite a few years despite the...

They just call us Aziks usually. :LOL:

In Turkey, it's mainly communists. In Azerbaijan, it's mainly older generations that are nostalgic for USSR's "order". I doubt you will find more than a handful of younger people in the latter that actually like Russia. And this is considering that remnants of Russian colonization still exist in...

We're not chopped liver you know, we can do serious damage to Russia even without Turkiye's help. And this is just posturing, Russia won't do a thing especially with the US and the EU now invested in the area in addition to Turkiye.

Not only that but the US has also been putting massive pressure on us to sign the peace agreement with Armenia without them first amending their constitution - specifically the bit that states that Karabakh is a part of Armenia. I don't think our government has folded yet but it's likely they...

Where the hell did the PKK get chemical weapons?

The commenters who said these terrorists are heroes should immediately have their citizenship revoked and their entire family deported to Iran in exchange for an Azerbaijani one. Actually, why the hell did the Turkish Republic not do this years ago?

I think that's supposed to be a depiction of a Muslim guy and a Jewish guy who got killed by bombs greeting each other in the afterlife.

Ask these people to cite where exactly in the Quran it says that depictions of prophet Muhammad are forbidden. Not only does it not say that but even besides that the purpose of this rule was to discourage people from worshiping other humans - idolatry in effect. By reacting like this, they are...

This sounds too similar to what some people in Azerbaijan say about Aliyev’s grip on power. I’ve come around to the idea that the mere process of change in government can kickstart an automatic process of house cleaning that is not possible when the same people are running the show for 20+...
