France simply isn't capable of being the leader of a European confederacy whether economically or militarily unified. Even Germany isn't really the de-facto leader of the EU, they are basically a proxy for the US. I could see a UK that got its shit together being able to efficiently lead Europe...

Turkiye wins by giving up Hamas members either way. Either you hand them over and get extra concessions out of it or you don’t get anything but either way, Hamas is gone and not able to undermine Turkiye from within.

If the US is doing something stupid that doesn’t mean Turks should follow suit.

I legitimately don't see any reason why Turkey SHOULDN'T hand over every single Hamas member and their property to the US (and try to bargain for some extra goodies in the process). Turkey wins literally nothing by providing a safe haven to these guys.

Funny but even having a Department of Government Efficiency run by two people should go on the list of "stupid shit". Also apparently Trump nominated Mehmet Oz to run the CMS. Which if it passes would make him the first Turkish-American to run a US federal agency.

Trump won't do a thing. And it won't be WW3, at most we'll be getting Vietnam War 2.0.

Why would you be optimistic about Gabbard?

Yeah, not really. Unlike Russia, US has a thing called checks-and-balances specifically designed to stop the president from making decisions with zero opposition.

Marco Rubio hasn't been officially chosen yet, plenty of time for Trump to get pissed off at him and change his mind. Plus an interesting point about Trump is that he very frequently changed his cabinet staff during his first administration because they kept trying to backstab him. Mostly the...

Imagine being so blatantly obvious as an anti-Turkish shill that even German Wikipedia gets fed up with your BS and blocks your ass after repeatedly asking for reliable sources and being denied.

My comment: Your comments: Sure looks like you're defending Russia's actions as a preemptive strike caused by NATO's actions.

Maybe you should re-read it first.

Actually in this case it's a perfect comparison. Much like your sort defend Russia's invasion as a sort of "preemptive defensive operation", Nazi sympathizers have also defended Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union as a preemptive strike because the USSR was supposedly planning to invade...

I am again curious why people think that Trump's victory means that the US will no longer support Ukraine. Again I would like to remind people that he was the one that increased support to Ukraine in the first place and his criticism of the situation isn't that Ukraine should shut up and take it...

Won't work. Not to mention if he was really serious about it, he would've stopped Azerbaijan's oil going through to Israel. It would've completely destroyed relations but if Palestine matters that much to him...

I did. Trump lost in 2020 because a lot of left-wing voters (and some disillusioned Republicans) really, really hated him. But now you have Biden and his demented grandpa routine and then you have Kamala, who basically coasted to vice president's position through pure luck and backroom deals...

That really depends on whether the US army actually listens to Trump. The Department of Defense is on record admitting that during Trump's last year in office they ignored all of his orders and did their own thing.

It seems the main point of disagreement between you and SilverMachine is that he thinks Russia being pressed even slightly more on Ukraine means they will unleash the nuclear option and go all out. It's a "red line" for them. You seem to disagree and think that Russia is more cowardly than they...

There's still a fairly solid chance that Harris will win so let's not get too optimistic.

Azerbaijan already co-operates with the TRNC so much that we might as well have recognized them. Blitzkrieging is easy, it's the part after you've finished blitzkrieging and your soldiers are trapped deep in enemy territory with virtually nonexistent logistical support and the opposition starts...
