Really bad for us. Canadian companies pay %4.81 of the gold.

Hm.... that is strange
As far as I know, while the Turkish govt allows Canadian companies to mine for gold on Turkish lands, the contract clearly states that all gold extracted from such mines are first to be offered for sale exclusively for the Turkish govt and if the govt refuses to buy such gold at said prices, then the canadian companies have the right to sell the gold to the highest buyer in the international market

Selling you your own gold

From a pure military perspective, these F-35 must be supported by other systems in order to make it to Ankara and RTB safely. Greece do not posses these systems.

Other than that in such a provocation in the 2030-2035 they will have to face a matured defence industry and military forces that will most probably have the capabilities to level Greece's military and economic potential with the ground in a matter of days before anyone even haves the time to decide if he should intervene, let alone intervene in a practical way.

Of course nobody wants this, but if needed, the Turkish Armed Forces have and will have the capabilities to give the necessary response to such aggression appropriately.

Turkey are in no Way comparable to Jemen ! Greek Military is in no Way Capable as IDF ! They even forget Kaan will likely be in Service when F-35 enter in Service.

It's interesting to me that Turkish MFA is so open handed about the Chinese entry into the Med.

"We are pleased that at the invitation of the Government of the People's Republic of China (PRC), Palestinian political entities met in Beijing and adopted a declaration on achieving national unity. We appreciate the PRC's contribution to the inter-Palestinian reconciliation process.

In the current circumstances, when Israeli attacks in Gaza continue in full force and raids in the West Bank and East Jerusalem intensify, the importance and urgency of achieving political unity in Palestine has increased.

We look forward to the implementation of the steps outlined in the declaration adopted in Beijing and to the immediate positive outcome of the long-standing efforts to achieve political unity in Palestine, which our country has been contributing to."

Looks like their visit last month went very well and they are happy with it but I have some reservations whether this will lead to a good place. For starters, we should think whether we want US out of the region or not. Because if Palestine is not kept in check, they are not leaving. Which is good for China, but we should discuss whether it's good for us.

Yes, that is true. Those companies sell us our own gold at international market price. This is also one of the privileges of Canadian companies, not ours. They pay %4.81 of the gold as an extraction fee but get it back through subsidies and tax cuts.

The Turkish Defence Minister response to greece's claims is just absolute gold

Bekleriz here means we're looking forward, expecting or awaiting them; bad translation.

Is it true, that most important politicians and military, including Baykar, are in Niger?

Chinese entry into the Med.

Bad move.

They can have it on their own territory or fuck right off.

Ottomans spent 200 years appeasing Kurdish feudal lords in their declining stage and the Kurds still rebelled.

Good thing Ataturk came and crushed them.

Pkk would have long been finished ages ago but as usual our people have gone soft.

Saddam Hussein actually once Taunted Turgut Ozal.

He said take the Kurds into your country we dont want them.

As usual Conservatives and Islamists praise Ozal. Ozal is the biggest traitor.

I think groupings inside security apparatus of U.S. want to have and use it as a leverage point into the foreseeable future to counter two major powers of Middle-East, so they bring the heat on the rhetoric front; otherwise they're not stupid enough to enter a conflict against a coalition of Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Russia with China backing them.

 

[Ryder]

People forget that the Allies of ww1 proposed the Greeks, Armenians and the Kurds get their own state in Anatolia.

USA actually pioneered this under Woodrow Wilson. USA for a short time participated in fighting the Turkish independance movement.

I dont think its something new that the USA would support a kurdistan as long as it suits their interests.

Its all about running weak states as puppets and pawns hence why the Greeks, Armenians and the Kurds all got promised a state long with huge chunks of land to go with it. Because easier to run pawns rather than ruling directly.

Ever since the Ottoman Empire lost WW1 and collapsed a lot of people underestimated the Turks. Lots of people believed they can never fight back as they lost war and were finished for good until they realised it was their homelands they were fighting for not a Empire.

If the Turks are racist thats good. Being a racist also helped them defend their homelands from invaders and internal traitors who are used as fifth columns.

Lots of Crimean Tatars and other Turkic peoples who lost their homelands to the Russians actually fought in the Turkish army instead of betraying the state that gave them a home.

While the Greeks, Armenians and Kurds along with a few Circassians spat at our faces.

Fck around and find out. Enough the bullshit sympathy. The Arabs rebelled and in the ended up getting colonised.

Same story with the Greeks, Armenians and the Kurds. Better to have have puppets and pawns ruling.

If sevres happened the Turks would have ended up like the Palestinians. Greeks, Armenians and the Kurds decades later would be butchering Turks one by one. Then Kurds and Armenians would butcher each other up for land claims.

Turks did what was necessary for survival. Look at the Native Americans and the Australian Aboriginals. Ataturk more so prevented the Turks ending up in such a awful and dire situation.

Whole world and the Ummah can condemn the Turks. But one day if they faced with such a situation lets see how they will react?

That is literally one of the 2 prime reasons for why the PKK was created by the US in the first place; the second being the massive resources that the US wants to take for free from kurdish-dominant areas

Good job

PKK wasn't created by the US. Why do you keep harping on about this line?

 

[Lool]

The prime reason for why I think that Turkey being expelled from the F35 program is a blessing in disguise
Whoever depends on the F35 jets will eventually find that the US isnt only sucking money from said country through repairs and operational costs but will also realise that the US literally owns the said country by the balls thus crippling its sovereignity


Translation:
Inf news: 'When you buy an F-35, you do not own the plane. The plane becomes your owner!
The USA sends a password to the countries purchasing F-35s before each use via the LINK-16 data sharing system in order to operate the aircraft and put it into combat mode (war mode) if necessary.
The British pilot cannot log in to the plane and cannot start it.
It is claimed that the South Korean pilots who bought 40 F-35s are "tired" of this situation.

Because I believe that pigs like Ocalan doesnt have the courage of announcing the creation of radical communist institutions that eventually cripples nations back in 1973-1984 (if memory serves me right) without having a big backer that is instilling in him confidence that he will be protected when he achieves such delusions
