Turkey

It's been pointing out to me "thou protest to much". Once I have said I have somebody on ignore, I should never respond to that person even if I witness a repost/ a quote and I feel the need to comment on that.


So I'm conceding the point. From this moment on, I swear the handle 9500 shall never pass my lips or keyboard ever again. I will leave him to those who can take insufferable memes and boring commentary.


Done and out. OK, maybe just this one last time.

Or Americans when they elected Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

I am curious whether he's really a fan of Marxism and Communism or whether he's pulling our chain. Originally Posted by Tiny

Turkey is key.

I'm just sayin'.

turkey as in gobble gobble?

He still can't ignore me.

Ankara, in talks with Kyiv and Moscow to fully resume the agreement that it helped broker in the summer, has sounded optimistic that a solution can be found after Russia announced its suspension on Saturday.


Moscow is also concerned about its fertiliser and grain exports, "which are not on the list of sanctions but the ships that are carrying these still cannot dock," Cavusoglu said, echoing comments by Russian officials.

They say the price of Turkey is going up 73% this year. I understand that Biden is going to open the Strategic Turkey Reserve. The day before Thanksgiving, the Biden's will personally drop turkeys from helicopters around the country for the poor.

Well played, sir. Beautifully on topic. Funny as fuck. And of course it makes a great point. Political. Well played.


Some of the shit that sticks in your head right?

Russia, the Ukraine, Europe and the USA need to put on their big boy pants and put a stop to this. Europe and the USA should be arm twisting both sides to settle this instead of fighting to the last Ukrainian.

And, to stay on topic, Turkey has wisely stayed out of the conflict. Recep Erdogan may be a world class nut case when it comes to controlling inflation, but has charted a wise course for Turkey with Russia. Except perhaps for the little matter of the TB2 drone sales to Ukraine.

The war hawk Michael Bolton, the treasonous, oath betraying Michael Flynn and other information I have.

I just read an article about how the dumb ass had Meng Wanzhou, the CFO of Huawei arrested in Canada, while Trump and Xi were in a meeting. That was a huge affront to Xi, and resulted in the imprisonment of two Canadian citizens under harsh conditions in China for several years. Yeah, maybe it made sense to blackball Huawei for security reasons. But going after Meng was senseless.

You posted some formidable, thought provoking stuff when you first started here. It would be more interesting if you upped your game back to where it used to be. The people on the right are outclassing the ones on the left. It's kind of like watching a debate on Crossfire, where you've got Paul Ryan and Rand Paul on one side, and Maxine Waters and Debbie Wasserman Schultz on the other. Pardon the implied sexism. This forum needs a Pat Moynihan and I nominate you. Originally Posted by Tiny

Bolton is a cunning linguist. Flynn a Benedict. That's beyond you? I could see, or saw, or even still now see Bolton writing treaties after Flynn grabs valleys and hills.

After the dumbass couldn't just buy another country, what do you think was the next best thing? Work with other tyrants to take them. Sure, dumpster doesn't have the foggiest idea about the implications of an actual land grab war. But he sure as hell would try to bullshit his way into obtaining one with the other two's help.

But you can never count on the Chinese.

All I can say (I mean should say) is Turkey is in a very strategic part of the world. Throughout history it has been playing both the East and the West.


I know you'll love this one, my friend.

Turkey picks South Korean transmission for Altay tank


Friday, Feb 3

Mehmet Karaaslan, general manager of the company, said BMC is slated to turn over eight units a month for an initial batch of 100 units.

BMC won the multibillion-dollar Altay contract in 2018. That contract provides for a first lot of 250 tanks, life-cycle logistical support and the establishment and operation by the contractor of a tank systems technology center.

What happens when you throw the conventional economics textbook out the window? We turn to Turkey to find out.

Even though Turkey is a Parliamentary Democracy, “President” Erdagon has mastered the concept of that famous Joe Stalin quote……”it’s not who votes that matters, it’s who counts the votes.”
