American-Turkish War? American Soldiers are Refusing to Leave Turkish Military Target

German Nazi engine was defeated by Russians and Germany was an all out attack job.
Japan isn't a case to be proud of. However, the only true power of Japan were kamikazes.
Italy? - I don't recall any war with Italy. It was just an easy enter. At least, Hitler was sincere, he didn't recall as victories many of the countries he conquered. Instead, he admitted he got those countries because traitors were always available. For good or bad reasons. Just as Italy choosed to do by following a new path.

Great Britain - it was a war which I admire a lot. You're right on this point.

North Korea and China - you mean Korean war? From my point of view no one got victorious from that war.

Iraq - yeah, big clashes out there. C'mon.

USA is one of the most powerful country. What I'm trying to say is that a war isn't like a video game or Hollywood movies.

About bunkers.
We have more money than people now. Being more specific, more dollars. Keep paying taxes so we can keep selling ''democracy and prosperity development'.

The USSR never could have stayed in the war without American lend lease.

Lol what? Why shouldn’t we be proud of crushing a psychotic regime which in many cases was worse than even the Nazis?

Again, what? Italy fought alongside Nazi Germany against the Allies. This is really basic history. And no, no sort of fighting, especially against on an enemy on the defensive in their own country, is “easy”.

Uh.....no. Hitler always found puppets to run the countries after he defeated them on the battlefield, but first he had to defeat him. There was no “super secret soy ring” going around ensuring Nazi victories.

So you are saying Italy is a traitor for not fighting until the bitter end with the Axis?

North Korea invaded the South. South Korea remains free. Hence, North Korea lost.

Oh, there were big battles. We just won them all, and our technology was superior enough that the Iraqis couldn’t inflict severe casualties.

Yeah, bud, most countries have more money than people. Most countries also have more people than bunkers.

Japan's only power was the Kamikaze?

They had the best fighters for the first years, the mightiest battleships, superb submarines, first rate naval units that were as good as or better than many in use by the US at the beginning of the war.

They won a string of land and sea battles against what the US, the British, the Dutch and the Chinese could throw against them.
 
The sooner the ethnic cleansers of Turkey are thrown out of NATO, the better.
How do you feel about Assad, Erdogan and Putin massacring the very Kurds who fought and died for Uncle Sam,
taking out Daesh. Now, #45 is abandoning those Kurds on two fronts, Assad and Turkey, with Putin's help.
Try this one on for size: https://www.i24news.tv/en

Amen to that. It is absolutely absurd that the West is putting up with Turkey's behavior and aggression not just against Kurds but against Israel and Greece. It even threatened to move against US forces in Syria so yeah, it's spiraling out of control.

Turkey has clearly made its choice and that is to ally with Russian and Iran. Russia will build a nuclear plant in Turkey, not to mention the S-400 purchase and who knows what else is next.
 
Turkey's Double ISIS Standard

Ankara claims to oppose the Islamic State. Its actions suggest otherwise.

In 2013 alone, some 30,000 militants traversed Turkish soil, establishing the so-called jihadi highway, as the country became a conduit for fighters seeking to join the Islamic State.

The decline of the Islamic State, nearly four years after its emergence, was the result of an aggressive military campaign to combat the group spearheaded primarily by the United States. That has not stopped Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs Mevlut Cavusoglu from writing an articlefor Foreign Policy to take credit for the group’s demise, insisting that Turkey’s actions in northern Syria have helped lay the groundwork for a sustainable peace.

What he neglected to mention is that it was Turkey’s actions, or perhaps the lack thereof, that helped fuel the rise of the Islamic State in the first place. The two most commonly cited factors leading to the growth of the Islamic State are the Syrian civil war and the government of former Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and its persecution of Sunni Arabs in Iraq. But another significant part of this story is the negligence exhibited by the Turkish state.

Beginning in late 2013 and early 2014, Turkish border cities became the chief logistical hubs for foreign fighters seeking to enter Syria and Iraq to join the Islamic State and other rebel groups. By all accounts, foreign fighters from around the globe first traveled to Turkey and then on to Iraq and Syria, forming the backbone and striking power of the Islamic State. In 2013 alone, some 30,000 militants traversed Turkish soil, establishing the so-called jihadi highway, as the country became a conduit for fighters seeking to join the Islamic State. By August 2015, Turkey did eventually tighten up its borders and agree to engage in strike missions as part of Operation Inherent Resolve, but by then, the lion’s share of foreign fighters had already arrived in Iraq and Syria.

“Ending arm wrestling and finding a political solution are obligatory in Syria,” Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdag added in his statement on Twitter.
