Yes, I do think that Russia will mostly stand alone. You are foolish if you think China will definitely jump into the ring for Russia, especially since they have claims on Siberia and most of eastern Russia which has valuable resources that they need and they don't like paying Russia for. Same...

I'm not sure but does ADF stand for the Australian Defense Force? Maybe @Ryder could help you out there.

Russia is conventionally good at zerg rushing their opposition and overwhelming brutality in the hopes of making the enemy surrender. If the enemy doesn't fall for this, Russia withdraws pretty quickly. I would also like to draw your attention to the amount of failed or "in development hell"...

It's a form of influence via arms exports. Pretty simple logic.

Eh? In a conventional war, NATO would crush Russia so hard it wouldn't even be funny. Russia's only hope would be using nukes for MAD. Afghanistan was an occupation gone badly because NATO had no interest in babysitting the nation anymore. In conventional warfare in Afghanistan, the Taliban got...

Second one depending on the time frame but whether it can stop it is debatable.

I agree with xenon5434, you don't start with 130k right out of the gate. 30k might be a bit cheap but that range of 30k-50k seems perfect for a first product. The ideal is to produce an affordable but relatively high-quality car right out of the gate. You don't start with luxury models until...

Unless Turkey is secretly testing them for the purposes of a secret nuclear weapons program, no.

I think you misunderstand Lool, the tweet in question says that the Ethiopian army is still advancing.

Logo still ugly but the ride looks sweet.

I think it's gonna have about as much effect as the Netherlands changing their name or the Czech Republic. People still refer to the former as Holland on occasion and literally nobody cares that the Czech Republic changed their official name to Czechia. Turkiye sounds awkward as hell in English...

455 people with PKK affiliation? That's...a lot of people. I'd consider it reasonable if he said like 50 or 60 but that's more than everyone else combined. How?

Meh, Russia's not going to attack. That was my opinion originally then I briefly considered that hey, holy s**t, those madmen might actually do it but then I thought about it again - why would they? Russia doesn't care about Donbas. They only sit there to keep people's attention off Crimea...

Uh, dude, the US army is sitting there with them. I wish they wouldn't and this BS infuriates me but do you think Turkey would start lobbing missile salvos into that area if the YPG were to conduct a terror attack against an oil drilling operation and the US said "no way"? Did we forget that...

Look at the map, it's literally right on the border with YPG-held territory. It's dangerous to drill there unless TAF can drive the YPG like 200 km away from that area and secure it against any attacks.

He knows he's losing the Turkish contingent so he's trying to pander even harder to the religious and migrant/refugee contingent.

Why would you want the country to crash? One might not like AKP but the overwhelming wish should be for them to start doing better and fix their mistakes not drive the nation so deep into the abyss that they will finally get voted out by even their staunchest supporters.

A merry Christmas and a prosperous new year to all!

Yeah, it was mostly limited to a handful of regiments in Belgium. And it wasn't some "let's hug and sing kumbaya" deal, it was a few soldiers exchanging gifts and playing a friendly game of football while everyone else tensely watched on, expecting things to blow up at any moment. Elsewhere on...

No pro-U.S. propaganda here. It's straight from Turkish and Russian sources. Oh, is it 15 now? It used to be 10. Which really just underlines my point that the Russians are never leaving. They do this stuff everywhere, set a supposed "time limit" and then that time limit magically disappears a...
