Turkey Preparing for War with Israel

[Nazi Israel Land]

Yes, and France supposedly had the strongest army at the start of WWII.

No one has actually said that I haven't heard that and several French leaders had pointed out how the new defences would fail?

ftfy

And there are Turkish generals, I'm sure, pointing out how they would not succeed in a war against Israel.

Hopefully their voice carries far, for their nation's sake. Numbers and rankings do not a victory make.

[Kemaliste]

It is fifth in quality, IMO.

Global Firepower ranks them as third in NATO.

Quality? When was the last time the Turks actual fought anyone besides Kurds and Cypriot Greeks?

Against the most powerful nations at the same time and different fronts. Couldn't we handle a simple and small 10 millions nation ?

none of Turkish soldiers are afraid to die, don't worry.

No, it didn't.

Yes it did.

The French Army was the strongest in the world at that time, with the most advanced tanks of the era.

Yes they don't. It's about being decisive and brave.

Oh, do go on.

No, it didn't.

Not really.

Its power depended heavily on its colonies. And France did not want to fight the war from its colonies.

[Galla-]

Yes it did.

Oh, do go on.

At least the French didn't run away like the British cowards tbh.

BEF and Dunkirk was the most abysmal clusterfuck of any nation ever.

It's, quite honestly, the British at fault, not the French, for the Germans winning the Battle of France.

I'm picturing a bunch of turkeys pecking Israel to death....Am I wrong in this assumption?

Fighting 3 Frenchmen and a British gunboat isn't winning a decisive victory against the most powerful nations of the era.
Had the really wished to they could have mopped the floor the Turkey and laughed over it later. They'd already mopped the floor with the Turks before. But there was no real interest in fighting over another scratch of useless territory.

My history teacher is crying right now. Though I have yet to determine whether it's from laughter or sadness.

I instantly regret using France as an example.

France did not want to fight the war period.

But that's not why they lost.

It was Dunkirk, and the fact that the French officer corps was actually quite awful.

However, the French Army fought quite well in the actual battles, if their strategy left much to be desired.

That is not relevant to whether France had the strongest army or the most advancecd tanks.

So why didn't the mighty French stand up to the Germans by themselves then if the British only made thing worse? Why didn't this unstoppable French Force just say to the British "Don't worry. We got this" and handle it themselves?

EUROFIGHT.

Someone needs to edit the title to refer to French surrender in some way.

Neither of which are counter-factual statements.

I don't think any nation wanted to fight in the war. Period.

If the french were at the strongest starting position, how did Germany roflstomp them alone within weeks.

French and British leadership left much to be desired.

Given that the Germans lost almost a fifth of a million men during the campaign, it was "roflstomp", either.

WW2? The Germans definitely did.

[The Matthew Islands]

Their General staff were shit.

So whether the French army was good or not is irrelevant if they lacked the officers to be able to formulate competent strategies?

If they aren't "counter-factual" then it should be pretty easy to explain how they are factual instead of throwing out tripe about the British cowards.

Fine.

I don't think most nations wanted to fight the war and most likely not all Germans did.
