    Turkish Oil & Gas Exploration Update & Discussion

    Guys, trying to re-litigate a bilateral (at best) territorial dispute via the medium of an anonymous message board is an exercise in utter futility. Don't get me wrong, the back and forth is mildly funny to read but at the end of the day, no-one is really becoming any wiser for it, and the...

    BREAKING: Tsai Ing-wen re-elected as president of Taiwan (Democracy wins again, Xi in shambles)

    Iran's missiles intended to 'kill personnel' in Iraq, Pentagon says

    That is an obviously altered image. Next time, if you want to emulate the prose of an english, proof-read publication: 1. Start a sentence with a Capital letter. 2. Use the correct grammar. 3. Use a full-stop at the end of the sentence.
