"Welcome to Ankara!
Minister AKK meets her colleague Hulusi Akar here today.
The two agreed to meet in February. It is important to us to stay in dialogue. The NATO summit also showed, NATO2030 needs strong cooperation between all allies."


Setting up NATO for the future is necessary because the threats have become more diverse - for example from Russia.
Minister AKK made it clear to her counterpart: "We need a holistic view of the eastern flank: from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea."


This is perhaps the most generic headline I've heard in while. This will likely solve nothing.


"Minister of National Defense Hulusi Akar met with German Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer.
Minister Akar told the German minister that the defense industry restrictions on Turkey should be lifted."

I wonder what kind of Restrictions there are besides what we know.

It has nothing to do with that. Russia simply knows that a drone like TB2 is no serious threat to a fully equipped, highly skilled and technologically advanced military.

Disagree, If that was the case they wouldn't have been triggered in the first place.

Wrong
You do realise that the russian mercenaries in libya, the wagner group, were former russian soldiers, right?
That means that they recieved the highest degree of training possible; yet, they couldnt bring down most of the flying tb2s

I think it is because turkey said if russia wants, they can sell the tb2s to them

Note: (iam not quite sure of the reason so I may be wrong

The sanctions imposed by USA on turkey arent that significant
I think they want something more
Probably so, there is lot on table, wondering what kind of guarantees are meant to be given.

This is ridiculous. Taliban already said that they won't tolerate any foreign power after the leave of US. Trying to make a deal with the life of our soldiers.

Not a fan of the Kabul airport thing, the Taliban is already overrunning the country. How long until they reach the capital and our soldiers will be facing attacks?

A handful mercenaries can’t of course do anything without the right equipment, which Russia has in their inventory. Btw, without EW system like Koral, TB-2 is less useful.

What is the motivation behind securing kabuls airport? Why should we do that?
Agree. Unless we make a deal with Taliban, we should not go there. We don't want to fight against Afghan ppl. There is simply no reason for it. But I still believe we should make a deal with Taliban.
