    Azerbaijan Armenia Tensions

    Armenia is a lost cause...how many billions do they need to rebuild their armed forces? If the Emiratis would like to throw money and actually have an impact they could fund the Greeks who actually have a decent military but I don't think it works that way (as in giving away billions of dollars...

    Greece Analysis Greece eyeing boost with F-35, Rafale aircraft

    You have to consider the prices the Greeks are getting these Rafales for, which seem to be a true bargain, plus quite a quick induction into their AF. Even if you have only 18, this could help you prepare the infrastructure and especially pilots for them, and once you have these things you could...

    Austrian police asked Muslims derogatory questions during raids, witnesses say

    You have Turkish posters acknowledging that refugees from the ME are creating a parallel society in Turkey but I've never seen you targetting them with accusations of racism.
