Well then since you claim not to be a troll, then you might be a person that needs education. A sovereign state does not leave the territory that it exercises power, unless it loses a war to another sovereign nation or it lacks the necessary hard power to do so. You should now the 3rd party...

I don't know why I should seek legitimacy from European people for our actioans? If the Europeans really want to know what's happening in Turkey they should learn themselves from indepandent sources. If they're fool or prejudiced enough to believe in terrorist propaganda, there is no need to...

First, let's start with some background information. Xi Xiaoxing is a physics professor in Temple University.

Let's go on with the best possible form that an artichoke can take (Zeytinyağlı Enginar) : You guys would have loved it so much if our idiot chefs stops only making meat based foods in abroad! When I was a kid I used to crave fo this one. It tastes great and it's very good for liver. In Turkey...

When Turkish people cook at home they predominantly cook vegetable recipes. When we eat outside we mostly eat meat. That's a distinction. That's why most of the Turkish restaurants' menu is based heavily on meat, yet we eat mostly vegetable recipes at home. But there are also a lot of...

Hahaha clearly Turks are Vegaterian! It's the complete opposite of the general stereotype. Altough there is an enormous variety of vegetable recipes, Turkish cuisine is mostly known by Doner and Kebab in abroad. Doner is Turkic origin, however kebab is not even Turkish (Altough kebab made a huge...

It's in Şırnak province, Cizre town. The guy simply wants help from the entire world for his delusional political aims. PKK always think that EU and US media/intelligentsia can make empathy with them and they believe there is a great political support for them. What do you guys think on this...

@Bussard Ramjet started a thread about the Record fall in Chinese forex reserves. Since China is gives a Trade surplus, it's not very logical to expect any other reason then a capital outflow. Then one should ask why there is a capital outflow in China before starting yet another Chinese economy...

I want to go on to this thread for some further analysis. I will try to provide some more analytical insights and compare Japanese economy with the economies of UK, France, Germany and US. Since Japan is a very established advanced economy (it started it's industrialization in 19th century); UK...

Yeah I agree with you. And population can be easily mobilized in war time. No one needs a large standing army at peace time. The upkeep costs rise exponentially as the army size increases. Besides it's so hard to audit possible corruption and to take action in larger organizations.

Today's talk about US being replaced by another World Hegemon is not new. Back in 80's Japan was pushing some guys' nerves in Washington. Today China is blamed for industrial espionage, "stealing US jobs" and polluting. Back in the 80's Japan was blamed for killing the competition in automobile...

In 2009 -if I'm not mistaken the date- Stratfor has predicted that China won't be able to keep it's political unity and will dissolve into smaller states by 2020. Now we are in 2015 and let alone there is an indication there is no such a movement in China. And the article provides more claims...

Hey you can't sell anything if there is no buyer. Lot's of investors from Switzerland and Belgium are in buy mode for US treasuries. I didn't say it has anything to do with China wants to destroy US economy. I don't think they even plan to. China never used the debt of US as a leverage in...

Another bold move from China. Of course someday this was expected, because you can't loan your entire savings to someone else if you wanna build an economy based on private consumption. Here's the graph for US 10 year yield treasuries. Here's the news coverage. ----- China has cut its...

It's really beautiful. But can anybody tell me on what grounds does Britain still keep those artifacts? Those thieves robbed anything that they can get their hands on in Colonial Era of China. It's really a shame that they don't return those artifacts to China.

Actually I wasn't prefering moral relativism in my analysis. I was taking a firm stance against moral absolutism. Every country has it's own unique situations and their moral standarts should be considered based on that situation. What's moral is not relative for me. Man should be free. But the...

Yeah but the problem is we can't comprehend another country's extreme situations quite easily. Usually in an extreme situation we simply point our finger directly to that country's regime. On the hand we can handle "occasional" extremities without really pointing finger at anything fundemental...

You mean like CPC is a some kind of enlightened despotism right? I mean it's a form of despotic regime but rules in a pragmatic, technocratic and righteous way which makes it much more legitimate then CPSU of USSR or Baathism of Arab countries. Even providing the right of obtaining private...
