You think people will accept such oppression?

The world wants Iran to have a nuclear bomb? I don't think so. Iran needs it to prevent US, for example, attacking it to overthrow the regime? I don't think so - US has had 40 years to do that but has not. Israel having nukes is more of a problem. Iran wants to wipe Israel out, doesn't it? Take...

What the Israelis are doing to the people of Gaza is inhuman. It astonishes me that my government and the leader of the opposition party in the UK will not demand that Israel stops. I don't understand what your religious quote means.

Propaganda. Appalling as it is, I don't see everyone being murdered in the hospital as was stated falsely. A bit more truth and a bit less untruth is desirable in a post.

Hamas Cannot be completely wiped out IMO. Post invasion 1. Leave and allow civilians + unknown Hamas members to return? 2. Annexe northern part of the strip to create a safe zone? 3. Annexe the whole strip, pushing Gazans into Egypt? Sadly (because it fixes nothing) US will support Israel...

What is a war crime is defined by the UN. Possibly by the ICC as well. The International Criminal Court can try people accused of war crimes. Not all countries recognise the jurisdiction of the ICC, hence Putin cannot visit countries recognising the jurisdiction of the ICC (eg South Africa)...

Nothing to support the assertion that US spent $200 billion on madrasas in the last 50 years. Listen, I don't get involved in discussions to win an argument for the sake of winning an argument. I find that valueless. If I cannot support a claim I make, I retract. Show me evidence and I may...

Eurojet were asked to design an engine with a view to it being suited to a 20%-30% increase in thrust if required. Would Turkiye have been prepared to design TF-X around a 117kN wet thrust engine?

Would it better to use RR as a consultant rather than as a co-developer? RR could be called in to accelerate dealing with difficult problems (difficult for TEI) that come up in a TEI-designed engine. India called SAFRAN in to fix some of the problems with the Kaveri engine that it (India) did...

BBC reports that Turkiye is recalling its ambassador to Israel.

How many KAAN would Pakistan want? I know that Pakistan is broke and is somewhat under the control of China, but how would Chinese engines end up in KAAN? Would China pay TAI to integrate them (perhaps by lending Pakistan the money to pay TAI)? Assuming Turkiye comes up with an indigenous engine...

Are Germany and Turkiye ideologically incompatible? Germany is a liberal, secular country.

I just heard a report on the BBC (not confirmed yet) that a convoy of ambulances has been hit with fatalities and injuries. If this is true and Israeli forces were clearly responsible, Israel's standing in the world will fall still further. The country is turning itself into a pariah in the...

US is reported to be shipping war materiel to Israel urgently (some diverted from delivery to Ukraine). Can anyone come up with a suggestion how US can be persuaded to stop? I think that threats of attacks on Israel by other countries and factions will only serve to increase US deliveries of war...

Germany gave problems to the Tornado partners early on, causing expensive delays to UK and Italy. After the Soviet Union disintegrated, Germany wanted to reassess its requirement. I think there was a one year delay before Germany returned to accepting the original proposed design. Germany has...

I just heard on BBC news that antisemitic offences in London policing area have risen 1,350%. I am not aware what is being compared with what (Oct v Sep or Oct 2023 v Oct 2022 or Jan-Nov 2023 v Jan-Nov 2022 etc). It seems that Israel's actions are having a very damaging effect on attitudes...

Many years ago a lot of people were killed at Saabra and Chatilla as the Israeli army stood by. If that was to be condemned and Israel held responsible for that massacre, so is Hamas responsible for the 7 October massacre. PS Hamas either allowed a massacre to take place or encouraged others to...

The pessimist in me agrees. The realist in me says probably that is what will happen. The optimist in me says that the Israeli response to the Hamas attack is so inhuman that the countries that have accommodated Israel's military occupation of the West Bank and colonisation thereof will...

Deplorable to delight in the suffering of others, is it not? Did you point out reactions to the victims of the October 7 attack on Israel, too?
