Well, what makes F-35 a wonder is mostly sensor fusion AFAIK. That is really hard to achieve and gets fairly arcane & esoteric for a layman to understand. I have no idea if wwe can do it or not. But mechanically, I think it will fly way higher. This has specific advantages WRT air superiority...

Shia Kurds do exist AFAIK but they should be a negligible minority ala Torbesh in Turkey. Which means noone really knows or cares about them. That being said, Syria was an Alawite/Shia dominated caste society so who knows...

I've never even heard of Shia kurds of Syria. If they constituted %30 I would have. That far south they should be all Sunnis belonging to Shafi school. You might be thinking about seculars maybe?

It's nothing new. This is a widely known fact. US is using wordgames to arm and support kurdish separatist terrorists whose ultimate aim is to partition Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria to carve out a state for themselves. This means Sevres 2.0. Americans want any/all power centers that have the...

Keep in mind Haley lost the primary to Trump in a spectacular fashion, and was made fun of by the entire Trump base. She's very unpopular. America's version of Davutoğlu. The other neocon guy who was CIA head were discarded in staffing process. I believe Trump will make deals according to his...

I really hope Blinken will be welcomed by an esteemed delegation comprised of: Mukhtar of the great mahalle of İncesu An experienced intern from foreign ministry A seğmen high school folkloric dancing team with traditional clothes The owner of tekel bayii by Atlantis AVM, representing business...

Former CIA station chief, neoSevres proponent Graham Fuller speaks about Syrian developments. He says Damascus will cause problems for Turkey because of Turkish actions towards "da currds". Also it's pretty surprising that in a podcast about Syrian regime change, Turks are only discussed for...

The level of delusional hubris these cretins have is simply astounding. I guess they won't try to block Eurofighters now huh 😎

Assad family has been very destructive to Turks. If I was top boss, I would make it a point to end his bloodline.

If Americans come out saying we can't work with HTS because they are terrorists or something, we can just rename them to DTS and keep on keeping on lmao Whoreson Brett McGurk would love that.

I think the realistic Israeli plan would be: A non-kurdish dominated SDF around the Raqqa - Dayr ez Zor axis. Official US guarantee for them. Turkey bogged down by the more PKK elements along the northern border. Friendly Alawite regime along the coast, like Lebanese christians. Cultural...

They don't even need to directly go in, just close enough to grad the base and render planes useless.

I'm playing this on loop since the Syrian kerfuffle restarted lmao

If Assad capitulates, he has no military power to enforce his own capitulation. Shia militia can just say "lol no" and even do a coup. Then Iranians find themselves as illegal occupiers. I don't know how much effect this legal technicality would have, but it's something to consider.

We all know what that means, right? 😏

The problem was never military strength. It's geopolitical and partly economic.

Framing the Gaza issue as a religious-civilizational war was a massive mistake. Turkish policy should have been to oppose Israel forefully but non-militarily and denounce Hamas on humanitarian grounds. I just watched a video from hellenic american leadership something or whatever those people...

They are here. Just short of 2 million people from Aleppo and surrounding areas reside in Turkey now. Which is why this is better. It opens up possibilities. Who knows, maybe we can send them back? 😳

Ooof. Wouldn't want to be in the shoes of that chap. Anyways, I think this whole operation is the natural result of Hezbollah moving units to Lebanon to counter Iran.

I'd like to remind that Americans has to go through legislative process and change the law before delivering F-35s to TAF. It is against the law for them to deliver F-35s.
