[Bozan]

Well imagine you play the tough guy but then remember the yearly 700 million Euro help after seeing the new exchange rate.
I think you would flip flop too if your countrys economy needed every cent in foreign currency.

Not just any foreign currency, EU/US currency. Otherwise Russia/Gulf money would have been enough and he would be saying much worse things about the West

Blob and his ilk have been served a federal corruption indictment:

With the moderation's forgiveness, I will not translate. Just watch, Mehmet Akif makes some important points.

And this tweet resembles my point of view;

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1705197453480194254

I spared my 4 minutes and listened to your comment.
Your speech which almost endured in a good sence, ended up by advices of peace and calm wwhile it was coming to an exact point I expected.
You spoted on a good point. They're guests, not homemates.
It's been 12 years, they've borned as milions, even there are ones whom
voted to decide my own future with a lack of knowledge about our history and customs
You do not have to be nice t everyone. Your approach to the subject and knowledge also includes those matters. Lets say loudly what needs to be told.
Visit is over. Every one must return home from know on.
Esad makes an histroical agreement and calles them back. Italy tells Europe that they'll not accepst refuges into their soil but
Turkey says we'll give then shelter, why ? Why sons of Turks become orphans just because of a few insane, sons of Vahdettin whith Ottoman mentality?
Do not speak around the subject, if you are willing to talk about on these matters, make it to a conclusion.
This is what suits you. Do not leave the subject without conclusion.

Hahaha

Its not how a respected person behaves, let alone a head of state. But he represents the people who voted for him.

This is a stupid era.

Everyone behave like that.

China and Westerner said 1000 times they were friends and then 500 times they were enemy

Stupid to trust any words from statemen.Cold war or 19 century even better trust than nowadays.

1. he won’t win as majority of democratic voters from NJ are calling on him to resign

2. this is bigger than the 2018 case as he has been directly indicted by the DOJ meaning he will be found guilty with a high probability

3. the democratic leadership will pressure him to resign immediately as they will have to show a clear anti-corruption stance due to the circumstances with Trump and the Supreme Court. Mendenez not resigning will be nothing but ammunition for the Republicans to pummel the Democrats with in the elections. You can be sure that Biden himself will be calling him soon.

4. he might try to hold onto his seat but that will buy him a couple weeks at best before the pressure gets to high.

5. with this his sons chances to ever hold influential office are gone as he will be forever tied to his father’s corruption


6. Pallone is a rep and as such holds no real power and can not be seated on a senate committee. Van Hollen could be yes but there other Senators who have seniority over him.

7. better even yet his fascist gift „wife“ is implicated in this whole case

Getting too off topic though. This is better suited for the foreign policy thread I think.

People calling him out won't have much effect in the primary and they will vote dem in the elections though.
True.
He won't get any love during the election cycle yes, but I also don't believe F-16 sale will pass in the election cycle as well.
Everybody is corrupt in the DC, point is to be not caught. If Trump Jr can be influential, so can Menendez jr.

This doesn't change my actual point i'm afraid. Menendez is not the dam that holds the flood. He can do all this nonsense because he's supported from both sides of the aisle of the establishment.

He will step down as the head of the FR committee until his indictment is over and judge makes a decision.

By now I think only Putin is doing thing which he said,like a Russian Tsar in 1870.

Other leaders only speaking empty words everyday.

 

[B_A]

In F16 thread i had said some about Foreign Policy & Geopolitics.I will continue there.

Actually in these years our importance to American because lower and lower.

We can take a position of American and think about that.

1.Us is retreating from middle east and they had lots of allies there.By now US product so much Oil that they dont depend on Middle East as before.

2.Russian had attacked Ukraine ,the European Nato had united and against Russia but Turkiye didnt.As American you will not like Turks position.

3.US is forcing to against China,They uniting and arming Japan,Korea,Taiwan,australia and even UK and French to east asia.Again Turks will not against China for US.

4.In US view,Turkey cant buy jet from China or Russia,and Kaan takes years.Turks cant do anything even not to sell them Jets.Orders from Turkey can easily replace by Japan,Korea,Taiwan,australia or European.


So,US just need puppets to against China.Russia.Iran,which Turks will not do.

as US they will speak empty words and arming Greek,support PKK to weaker Turkey.

 

[Sanchez]

Just took a look at Menendez's probable replacements. Two most likely are Ben Cardin and Jeanne Shaheen. Cardin spoke about Kavala back then but he seems much calmer. Shaheen co wrote the bill that removed Turkey from the JSF and also wrote extensively about Op. Peace Spring. Cardin is set to retire in 2025.

Not great, not terrible.

Our importance to the West for this 300 years was blocked the Russian/Soviet in black sea.

By now as Russia weaker than before.the West will not need us as much as before

It's an 1-hour video, but I highly recommend watching it

He has an insufferable intonation that makes it very hard to watch. I could stand only 3 mins and noticed how shallow his knowledge is.

I totally agree with you. I did watch all of it and I can tell you that this is how most of the western people thinks of Turkey.

But he did mention a defense pact between France and Greece in case of a Turkish invasion France will declare war on Turkey, is this true ??

No,they will act as Russian attacked Ukraine

 

[Bozan]

No,they will act as Russian attacked Ukraine

Exactly this way, worse as TR doesn't have nukes and has a much weaker economy/army

 

[B_A]

Exactly this way, worse as TR doesn't have nukes and has a much weaker economy/army

As we dont have Oil like Iran/Russian

We will be a position like Japanese before 1941(war with west-supported China), running out of money and oil.Admit defeat and retreat or Attack the oil-rich countries(then attacked by western and arabs at same time)

So we actually in a very weak position to the West.

 

[B_A]

And in case we defeat Greece very quickly,that will be a replay of 1897 war.

Western will come and stop the war,then do favour on Greek,then keeping sanction us.

Compare to the cold war era,because the main rival of American is China ,not Soviet Union,so our importance for westerner is far lower than Korean Japan Taiwan by now.

This guy's illiterate. I haven't watched the video but YouTube algo pushes his stuff aggressively and I unfortunately have had the displeasure of sitting through a couple of his videos concerning economy and my advice would be to not waste even a minute of your time on this person (or 99.99% of stuff on social media; read. Read stuff by specialists).
