  1.  @biorig  If what you said is true, it still doesn't make what he said untrue. Yes the chips are all important. However that still doesn't make his statement about the 80% untrue.

  2. What do I think about the EU's decisions lately? A few words come to mind. Delusional, childish and ridiculous.

  3. Sometimes I can't understand some foreign policy decisions of late. If a nation is in a position to hurt you by leaving your orbit of influence, why exactly would you threaten them over and over again. Then scramble with apologies when they react? Are our nations run by absolute morons these days?

  4.  @bharat8096  In 1000 years China has not gone half way across the globe invading untold amounts of nations. Not saying they're great but to compare the two on this front is insanity.

  5. Not sure India is capable of this high tech engineering yet. They'd be better off just buying them until they figure it out.

  6. To be fair Ukraine only had a handful of these drones. These drones are made to be shot down, what makes them successful is blowing up billions of dollars worth of equipment before being shot down. Which Ukraine's Bayraktar drones did. Ukraine simply didn't have many of them. Either way that drone is outdated. It's 2 perhaps 3 generations behind what that company is currently putting out.

  7.  @biorig  If he is talking about volume like you said, then his statement isn't untrue. What do you think the term untrue actually means?

  9. @Bulla5078. This is true. But on the flip side at least Chinese people can walk down the streets, cross train tracks and walk on beaches without having to jump over human waste ever 5 feet.

  10. This is true.

  11. @paulbernard3477. Why would they? Not one civilian has been harmed. You have two groups of men with guns going at it. Neither side with any interest in harming civilians. This is how most groups on the planet fight wars. Israel seems to be the only outlier where the first thing to do is go after women and children.

  12. I find the delusion in some countries and their leaders detachment from reality to be quite terrifying. Sweden wanted to join a collective defense organization while at the same time financing armed groups which were blowing up hospitals and schools in a member of that collective defense organization? Didn't they realize this might get awkward? Fact of the matter is the Turks are pissed and they will make this transition as difficult as possible for Sweden as punishment for the past. Yes they will also continue to move the goalposts. The idea is to make life as difficult as possible for Sweden. Can't say I blame them either. Imagine a country arming groups in Kashmir who attack Indian interests trying to join a military defense organization with India. I'm not sure that would go down well. lol

  13. Those two companies are also hurting

  14.  @hsebs9396  There was nothing erratic about Russia's invasion of Ukraine. They'd been saying they were going to do it for nearly a decade of XY and Z kept happening. XY and Z kept happening so they did what they said they were going to do for decades. Fail to see how that fits the definition of erratic.

  15. The city is corrupt up to it's gills and even though it taxes the living hell out of it's citizens there is barely any money left over to properly maintain the infrastructure. Not to mention the insane level of regulation which makes maintaining or building new infrastructure much more expensive than it has to be. This is how civilizations die. This isn't something a few good leaders can fix, the rot goes far too deep and is far too entrenched. This city will tear itself apart in the next 50-70 years. This coming from someone who lived in that city for a very very long time.

  16.  @D1D2D3D4D5  Erdogan is no dummy but I'm not sure I'd put him on Vlad's level.

  17. I swear this is like the twilight zone. Imagining opening up a museum to remember past genocides and war crimes while you are at the same time administering a genocide of historic proportions at the same. This is insanity.

  18. Having your national currency as the world reserve currency is a blessing few nations have ever enjoyed. And no nations have enjoyed on this scale. To be insane enough to use this blessing as a weapon and put it under threat is going to go down in world history as one of the most bone headed things any civilization has ever done.

  19. Except for the fact those nations are all growing at tremendous rates and the United States is contracting. How long do you think the chart above will stay the way it is now? Leaders don't simply make decisions based on what is happening today, they craft long term policies for what they think will happen tomorrow.

  20.  @jakes9577  Territories within their realm rarely had strife though. At least not for 600 years.

  21. The Turkish base there isn't there to fight insurgents in Chad. It is there because it is close to Libya where the Turks are heavily involved. Now their drones can operate freely in Libya from different angles. In return they'll probably make it easier for Chad to get top notch military equipment for cheap and train the Chad military to fight the insurgents. Turkey isn't there to fight the insurgents in Chad. Turkey gets a base where they can project more military power into Libya. Chad gets super modern military equipment. Win win deal.

  22.  @oswarz  Difference is Uncle Sam can back up it's threats. Europe however just gets laughed at.

  23. You literally live in a society that has a caste system entrenched in it's culture and you're saying it does suit you to "judge" people? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  25. Can they replace it? I don't think so. Can they seriously hurt it? Yes most certainly.

  26. @singa68. Israel has been arming them for years. Last I checked Turkey hasn't' begged yet. You do realize international relations aren't as simple as your high school fights in India. Is it something in your culture where you guys dumb something down to the lowest component and say something ridiculous? I see this over and over again.

  27. @StockNewsss. So if Armenia can illegally claim Nagorno Karabakh because a few Armenians live there, you'd be okay with Pakistan illegally claiming Kashmir because a few Pakistanis live there? Interesting.

  28.  @chicolama7138  Few people considering Russia and Turkiye as European nations. In Europe proper most the nations that matter are in the EU>

  29.  @Likit257  Yes a pretty wealthy country at that. A country holding resources Europe needs to survive.

  30.  @AR-zq5qg  If what you were saying were true, why did most of the Kurds living in his country vote for him? What kind of BS are you trying to spread? lol

  31. The title is strange. Suddenly? They've been in talks for 2 years to normalize relations. I wouldn't call a 2 year negotiation to be "sudden."

  32.  @treepiesinc1418  Real India considering what they went through with being colonized would naturally stand against colonization.

  33. It's usually useless to those who can't buy them. Reminds me of a homeless guy pointing to a fancy car and saying it's useless.

  34. Iranian military tech is like India's military tech. No nation with other options will buy it.

  35. Why exactly would India take steps to ramp up tensions in an already tense region? This is insanity.

  36.  @Live-dt9hj  Corny? It's one of the most famous and sobering assessments of international politics in the past 100 years.

  37. Europe: We're going to blame Qatar because our European politicians are corrupt. Qatar: WTF Europe: We're also going to try to sanction Hungary for corrupt and have our even more corrupt parliamentarians vote on the issue. Hungary: WTF Europe: We're also going to threaten Qatar because our officials are corrupt. Qatar: Enough is enough, no gas for you. Europe: :face-blue-wide-eyes:

  38.  @darianvergof2508  Europe bent the knee in the 1950s and has stayed there. What are you talking about.

  40. @Harold Cruz, the problem is no one takes their threats seriously anymore. They simply laugh at them.

  42. If you knew anything about the history of North Africa you wouldn't make such a ridiculous claim. The ethnic make up of that region had already taken shape well before the Ottomans even existed. You say "please learn history" you might want to learn it yourself.

  43.  @DiogoJ1  How are they unreasonable? If I were them I wouldn't have even negotiated a gas deal with a group of people who constantly try to browbeat me. They've been more than reasonable but everyone has their limit no? Europe's childish temper tantrums are getting old on the world stage.

  44.  @Mdina5159  They don't need the military base you're right. They need military cooperation you're right. But to get that military cooperation they needed to give the base to get that. Which is a good deal for them as that base will be used by the Turks to defend Libya so it will literally have zero effect on Chad while garnering them some serious military tech and training. Not to mention more stability in Libya is a plus for Chad. Win win situation for Chad, Libya and Turkey. Lose situation for France who not only got kicked out of Chad where they were stealing billions in resources but now their pet militia group in Libya now has to deal with being attacked from that base in Chad by Turkey. The newer generation of leaders in Africa in places like Mali and Chad aren't naive and they aren't stupid. They make deals which benefit their people quite well.

  45. Ignoring Brussels is what most of the world has been doing for quite a while. You simply keep ignoring their insanity until they realize there is nothing they can do about it and come crawling back with a more rational deal.

  46.  @almac9203  Yes after every election you can find all the statistics online. It changes from election to election. I've seen Erdogan's party get as high as 70% of the votes in Kurdish areas. And as low as 40%. Kurds for the most part tend to be very conservative and religious people. Getting them to vote for left wing Turkish parties or left wing Kurdish parties is difficult. The Kurdish parties are all far left.

  47.  @Madame702  That isn't going to happen.

  48. @RedSpy007, I think every time a European media outlet or politician says something stupid, the price should double. It will get to about 10x until they learn to stfu.
