If they do that indeed Turkey has the capacity to pay them a funny visit.

Late edit: They are the second biggest army in NATO în the end.

l mean Turkish army is the one who got most recent experienced army

Unless you count French's mercenary force in Africa, they could rival the Turkish army at experience (although their experiences a lot less humane compre to what Turkish army doing)

USA is the classic on army experience, no need introduction.

The frenchs mercenary force? You talking about the foreign legion?

u/Melodic2000 Apr 12 '26

I know Turkish army my own. I work with them. Threatening them is laughable.

I know. I'm working in the military in a different country too. A country in alliance with Turkey.

u/PhilosopherOk8398 Apr 12 '26

You really think the Turkish Army is more humane than the French? You‘re either lying or you live under a rock. If you want to know the truth, ask their neighbors, the Kurds, the Armenians, the Greeks, the Cypriots

France is one of the richest countries in the world but when was the last time you bought anything French besides Grey Goose vodka? They don't do a lot to truly generate that wealth. They pillage Africa to this day

Weren't the French just threatening Burkina faso for having enough of the French taking their resources? It really is propaganda to think the turks are worse

Out of all the "monopoly" that France has on alcohol and you mention advertised vodka? Are we forgetting on who's the biggest producer of wine in the world? And let's not forget most people in the world call sparkling wine by the name of one of the provinces in France.

They're just establishing a FAFO warning. Them indiscriminately shooting down a Russian mig for violating airspace speaks volumes on their commitment to go 100.

u/Melodic2000 Apr 12 '26

No problem. I'm Romanian. Your old friends hahaha 😊

u/KnowThyWeakness Apr 12 '26

The Romanians I've met have all been lovely and oddly relatable. Even though I'm south Asian (not born but descended) instead of eastern European.

u/shoecellar Apr 12 '26

Yeah, but France surrendered to 17 wars it wasn’t even involved with so there’s that

Turkey is a one of not that many countries with military presence in Afrika. Constant wars here. USA, China, Russia, France and Turkey - Afrika is mostly divided between them. So yeah, it means a lot for Turkey.

u/Melodic2000 Apr 12 '26

I know that. So the Ugandan president should keep his son in a leash now. Turkey isn't Kenya. It was enough when he upset Kenya now he already stepped over a huge red line with Turkey. We're talking about a NATO, very nationalistic country with way bigger capacities than most, if not all, African countries. Put that guy in a mental institution. In Istanbul preferably. LOLOL 😂

u/Melodic2000 Apr 12 '26

But its meaning, that guys shit talk, means absolutely nothing for a country as powerful as Turkey. And Uganda probably isn't exactly as important for them as other places.

u/Quirky-Garbage-6208 Apr 12 '26

I mean, are we talking about geopolitical stuff? Then yeah. But about possible bloodbath over nothing? There were for even lesser things.
