the differences between us, im talking about the history of 1000 years long history of Turks Empire, and you always try to mention the 20th century. i wouldnt even impressed if you start talking since 1990, as Chine starts gaining power..
you better go to play your video games..
the difference is, we Turks never really care who you are, if you hurt me, you will get hurt!!
in Cyprus war(1972), the Whole EUrope and USA said that if we attack Cyprus, they will stop us by force. But we took the island within some hours.. and nobody got balls to fight with Turks.. you know how? those time, parachute troops (airborne) were not really well known. even elite forces like USA didnt have many. WHen Greece attacked, they were waiting us by surrounding the Island with navy and submarine. by Turkey decided to have thousands of soldiers, trained them within days to be able to jump from parachute. and the result, within ours, the whole island were under Turkey. I feel like a History teacher today. i deserve some chocolate, chinese style

in Greece, 1995, you probably never heard of Kardak, when there were an island appeared and Greece special forces landed on Island and declared that its their own. Whole EUrope was again ready to fight and they said any way of using army will be punished!
but while those "special forces" for securing the flag, Turkey changed the Greece flag to Turkish, and they only knew about it the next morning, which you can see from Greece itself. The same day, defence minister and several others resigned and well, it still in Turkey..

During the crisis, at the night of 28 January, Greek special forces landed secretly on the east islet undetected. On 31 January at 1:40 am Turkish special forces
SAT Commandos also landed undetected on the west islet and once again changed the flag escalating the tensions. It was not until 4 hours later when the Greeks noticed this when a Greek helicopter took off at 5:30 am from the Greek
frigate "Navarino" for reconnaissance. During the mission it crashed over the islets (some speculating due to Turkish fire), but this was concealed by both states
[7] to prevent further escalation. Three Greek officers on the helicopter died (Christodoulos Karathanasis, Panagiotis Vlahakos, and Ektoras Gialopsos).
Who ever produce its own army technology, can be a game changer in any war! thats the reason Arabs keep good relations with France, CHine and Russia(at some point, as recently through Egypt).
thats what we are going to be. once we supply Malasia and Indonesia with those tecnologies, you will understand what i meant..
