These guys have ballistic missiles & cruise missiles beyond range of 2000 km+ as well. But they stay under the radar.

>>63881226 (OP)
Because NATO keeps them in check plus Ataturks policies.
Also kek Turkey has better ballistic missiles than Iran.

>>63881226 (OP)
Who are they going to go to war with/why?

>>63881382
Greece, but they could just throw bombs at them so it's hardly a concern.

>>63881226 (OP)
NATO membership that them and their main relevant target share. Armenia is fucked tho.

>>63881226 (OP)
no one really cares because the only people it threatens are Armenians and Kurds. Since they all live in LA and Sweden now it isn't a big deal that their depopulated rumps are spammed with turk aircocks

Turkey has long had pretensions of being a "European power". The rest of Europe treats them as the Downie cousin whose retard strength provides a bit of stability on that border.

>>63882460
better to keep them in than let them fall into some other power's orbit or try to make themselves a regional power by force

Turkey is the second most powerful military in NATO and actually wins wars unlike America. See Armenia, syria, the gradual push back of pkk terrorists further and further into iraq

I don't know why this meme is pushed so hard, turkey has mo interest in Europe anymore, it's a dying continent, we've shifted our attention to the middle east and Africa where we keep scoring wins. We're only having trouble in Somalia

Turkey's GDP great by 110% over the last decade. Erdogan is intentionally devaluing the currency under the guise of "Islamic banking"

>>63883369
Well no, Turks don't give people condescending lectures despite having no understanding of what's going on the way Europeans do.

>>63881226 (OP)
a) they don't try to procure nuclear weapons while chanting "death to America"
b) they aren't funding and directly supplying terror groups in a dozen different countries
c) they've been roped into NATO which keeps them from chimping out and trying to make any of their territorial claims happen for real
(bonus real answer d) they don't pose a threat to Israel lol)

Lol. Do turkfags really?

Iran just proved that shit doesn't work and it's a waste of money. They haven't help Russia either, and they got better missiles that any of those two and Ukraine has a worst air defense than Israel.

Better invest in some top of the shelf intelligence and some fucking stealth planes that can shit all over air defense.

>>63883593
Aw hell i forget the name. Something weird with a lot of syllables.

>>63881226 (OP)
Are you people completely braindead? Turkey has been one of the most important NATO members ever since the Korean war. Their geographical position makes them invaluable. Diyarbakir is the Ramstein of the middle east, it's in the Top 5 of most important US military bases abroad.

Tens of thousands of people have been abducted, tortured or murdered in Turkey during the cold war, to ensure the commies don't grab power.

>>63882439
Armenia is indeed fucked. Landlocked country surrounding by hostile enemies on 3 sides, with half (or more) of the race living in the diaspora. That country is probably not long for this world. And if Armenia goes, then there is no secure place for the genetic stock to remain reproductively isolated, to endure in perpetuity, and thus it’s likely we dilute/go extinct. Losing one’s ethnostate is an extinction level event for any race.

Always loved to see how it broke peoples' minds to realize that not all Turks look like Arabs. It's a multiethnic country, a literal melting pot. They have a shitload of minorities, a lot of them white. And even among the non-white Turks, there's a lot of dark blonde and/or blue eyed ones.

This guy was saddams right hand, hes an arab there has always been pale middle easterners, doesn't necessarily mean they belong to a different Ethnicity.

>>63883822
yes, exactly. not like i said they necessarily belong to a different ethnicity.

>>63882460
Anon, they are not in the EU and they never will be as long as Erdogan or anyone like him remains in power. They have refused to adhere to even the most basic standards required to attain membership.

>>63883822
I have some full blooded Syrian/syrian descended relatives in my ancestry and my mother's great aunts and uncles from that lineage were as white skinned as any other.
I like to call them the ottoman slaves who escaped.

>>63883598
If they're hypersonics, then they do.

>>63882389
They helped Azerbaijan in its war against Armenia. None of the so-called "Christian" countries lifted a finger to help them.

>>63883945
Greece did that?

>>63883646
And nothing of value was lost. If anything, this will be a long overdue improvement for your race.

We pretend Turkey isn't an authoritarian dictatorship because they control the straights and pipeline paths into Europe.

>>63883536
>b) they aren't funding and directly supplying terror groups in a dozen different countries
they have been doing this non-stop and everybody knows about it. Its not even a secret, its officially and openly done.
On a) they have been trying to get nukes sicne the 60s, its just not talked about in /k/.

>>63883536
>b) they aren't funding and directly supplying terror groups in a dozen different countries
That's exactly what they're doing though, they directly supported ISIS for years. Turkey was a safe haven for wounded ISIS fighters to get treatment, and new recruits from Europe passed safely from there.

This was Puccian propaganda—much like the biolab claims in Ukraine. This one sticked.

honestly knowing you're a regional power and using that to become comfortable and stable is exceptionally underrated. seems to typically result in a pretty good quality of life unless your neighbors are complete retards

>>63886418
I wouldn't say TURKIYE is known for its quality of life

>>63886436
eh the touristy bits seemed fine enough to me. if goat herders are still goat herders that's their own choice at that point

hello i am törkiş!
if you do not buy my weapon (or baklava)...
glorious turkish lira will fall (another -99%)...
this means...
give me billion dollar... or else...

>>63886486
Turkish looks like Finnish but extra drunk.

>>63886436
if you do not come across any türkiş... (şitskin) or have to buy something that day... (poverty) and you not in the shitty slum poor area... it is very comfy!

Some of you faggots, think that the next superpower will be some third world shithole like India, Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico or Nigeria. However, it will not be these street shitting countries nor the UK and Japan, which are old and the dogs of the US.

In reality, the country with the most potential to become the rival to the US, China, EU and Russia, is not any of the above, but Turkey (or Türkiye as they would now like to be called.)

They are the only country with a truly independent foreign policy (in being hated by all their neighbors and the major global superpowers) and the power to intervene in all three continents Europe, Africa and Asia. Turkish intervention has proven decisive in Syria, Libya and now in Ukraine. Given Russia's current weakness, it is only a matter of time before they too are humiliated by Turkey. Turkey defies both the US and EU at will, shits on the faggot Gayreek-Egyptian- Israeli-Arab-French alliance created to contain it, and even has the capability to threaten China over the Uyghur issue. EU can be brought to its knees at any time by Turkey unleashing refugees upon it.

Some of you may say, Turkish economy is in the shitter and cannot support these ambitions. But Turkey has a power greater than currency - the power .... of imagination

>>63881226 (OP)

>I'm Israeli and this is the one country I hope we never get into some shit with. The Turks are not Iran, they are not to be fucked with.
Yeah. I think Iran is showing itself to be a paper tiger but Turkey is a real tiger. I'm not a Turk or trying to push this idea, but they really are that and it's strange they don't get a lot of attention. The Turks are Muslims who underwent a rationalist reform when Ataturk proclaimed the state. This allows them to make stuff. The Iranians are led by clown fundamentalists and the Arabs who were on the periphery of the Turkish empire have never been able to pull off. Naturally the point of strength was at the center of the empire than on the periphery and they preserved a strong state:
https://youtu.be/Odl2qwbrFwg

Also the only Muslim country that comes to mind that can have an explicitly democratic Muslim party come to power peacefully without causing a catastrophe. Nasser might have been able to pull off a Kemalist move when he nationalized the Suez, but didn't follow through, and then came the reaction to all that in the form of Islamic fundamentalism, revivalism, armed insurrectionary Islam and so on.

Not kikes, they survived for thousands of years as involuntary nomads going from one place to another.

Is it true Erdogan has "fantasies" of reclaiming rumelia?

>>63883360
They have no interest in Europe because they got the investment and intellectual property and concessions they wanted.
They will now dominate all other neighbours with the help of Europe.
