I'm saying demilitarizing the Turkish state wouldn't "undermine NATO's effectiveness in Europe" and in fact would likely increase it by letting the USA push it's way into stationing troops there.

I can't imagine how demilitarizing a brother NATO state would not somehow undermine NATO's effectiveness in Europe.

The UK MoD lists 89 in their 2021 spreadsheet. They had 130 active in 2014 and they've never sold any, so they probably have a bunch sitting around at a storage base.

Artillery seems a lot more important than tanks for fighting a defensive war against a numerically superior enemy, but tanks are what really get the punters going

Whats most important is the conviction of the soldiers character, and their belief in freedom, justice, and hope for a better way of life. Something Putin in all his evil will never be able to understand.

He was responding to a meeting on Friday between Kishida and Biden, after which the two leaders issued a joint statement saying: "We state unequivocally that any use of a nuclear weapon by Russia in Ukraine would be an act of hostility against humanity and unjustifiable in any way."

On Saturday, Kishida said the G7 summit of major industrialized nations in Hiroshima in May should demonstrate a strong will to uphold international order and rule of law after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Medvedev said the nuclear statement showed "paranoia" towards Russia and "betrayed the memory of hundreds of thousands of Japanese who were burned in the nuclear fire of Hiroshima and Nagasaki" — a reference to the atomic bombs that the United States dropped on Japan to force its surrender at the end of World War Two.

Rather than demanding US repentance for this, Kishida had shown he was "just a service attendant for the Americans".

Is this about the ironic anti-Finnish racism? Because I'm Finnish and pretty sure most people here would be more offended by (apparently non-ironically) calling us eastern european than most of the ironic racism. Actually I think you managed to offend some nationalist part of my lizard brain, unlike all the no-effort ironic racism which was just boring, which is pretty funny whether you did that on purpose or not

i don't think it's against the CSPAM thread rules to post in the other threads or for them to come here and post, you're just not allowed to copy the posts in the other threads here for laughs (syq's)

that being said if you post anything the least bit critical of Ukraine or the west in the GBS or D&D thread you are going to be eating a ban.

maybe they forgot turkey booted out all the us bases except Incirlik and that other one and that it has ongoing conflicts and actually applies political pressure for its own benefit. demilitarization would mean they can't really deal with their local problems and would become dependent on the US (or russia lol no jk) in a pretty big way.

Yeah, it’s such a ludicrous scenario, circumstances will have to have changed dramatically in Europe.
