Yes I agree. It is useful also to note that Turdogan's Turkey has done an effective "outreach programme" to the extent that now Turkish politicians campaign in Germany/Netherlands in order to secure victory back home. Sometime in 2017, IIRC, one Turkish politician was prevented from doing ...

It does not get better. But it is still worth watching to understand the psychology of the present day Paktugruls... and their Turkish "cousins". It is reasonably well made, and it is very popular across the Turkic world - Central Asia, etc. This and other programmes have helped Turkey exp...

I've watched it on Netflix with English sub-titles... until the end of the first season, a large number of episodes. Erdogan's behaviour is modelled to some extent on that mythical Turkic figure. Of course, it is another matter that both Suleyman Shah and Ertugrul (his son) were probably not Muslims...

excellent take on rogue Turkey and its nuclear ambitions! Fantastic read, interesting to know how Turkey has riled up multiple neighbours like China Thanks Jai Menon , there should be a like button. Thanks for the kind words... I think there is no "like" button, but do retweet, facebook, ...

"expected to be inked" is the operative phrase. GoI/MEA has plenty of experience playing these games.

The American ones at Incirlik are safe, if at all they are still there. There is no chance in hell the Turks will snatch them away from the Americans. Even Erdogandu is not that crazy.

Why is exchange rate such a big issue for Turkish people? Common man in India does not care Turkish image of itself if one of high machismo. The ordinary Turk is a hardcore nationalist (in general) so those who are classified as nationalists are of an extreme variety, coming at it from the angles o...

Sadly no... It was a truly brutal critique, hit at the heart of everything... and explained in a way the problem that the Christians of Europe face.. I remember it was Marcus de something ... Damn, what a fool I was. Should have downloaded it asap.

Looking for something folks. There was a brutal and scathing critique of Christianity from a Jewish perspective by Marcus something or other (a French-sounding name), an American intellectual in the early 20th century. It was posted here. I wanted to save it, but postponed it and forgot about it. No...

Thanks for that long post Muns. I have no disagreement. On this point: "Interesting to know however, that Constantine was eventually only baptized on his deathbed." This is not undisputed. There have been too many "deathbed conversions" since to actually put much weight on it. Wh...
