We hace issued a tender and the French failed to make an offer within the tender, so their chances would be lower. The Rafale has some political support, so they aren't completely out yet. https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/en/2017/10/04/new_fighter_jet_probablywontbefrench-1-3077840/ Still a good...

Well it seemed to me that the Russians didn't respond with their air defences. Actually I think Russia secretly likes that Israel strikes Iranian targets. I don't think that the Syrian news outlets are reliable at all as the same ones said that a good number of Israeli missiles were downed...

Russia summons Israel's ambassador over downed military plane MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Tuesday it had summoned Israel’s ambassador in Moscow over the shooting down of a Russian military plane near Syria. The aircraft was shot down by Syrian anti-aircraft...

Russia says Israel (indirectly) to blame for downed plane over Syria Christian Lowe, Katya Golubkova MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia on Tuesday accused Israel of indirectly causing a Russian military plane to be shot down near Syria’s Mediterranean coast, and threatened to retaliate against Israel...

SYRIA HIT BY MISSILES JUST HOURS AFTER RUSSIA AND TURKEY MAKE DEAL By Tom O'Connor ON 9/17/18 AT 4:26 Pm Syria's west coast was reportedly targeted by missiles of yet unknown origin, just hours after Russia and Turkey announced a deal over the fate of the country's last province to be under the...

Replacing the F-16s: U.S. Ambassador presses for decision by 14 October © Belga U.S. Ambassador to Belgium Ronald Gidwitz warned on Sunday that Washington might not extend its offer to sell Belgium Lockheed Martin F-35 fighter planes to replace its ageing F-16s indefinitely and without...

Friday, 14 September 2018 18:40 Belgium will no longer cooperate with the Palestinian Ministry of Education while Palestinian schools bear the names of terrorists, Belgian Minister of Cooperation Alexander De Croo confirmed on Friday. Budgets allocated for the construction of schools will be...

@Vergennes In Belgium's case this is a little misleading. The single biggest party the N-VA (New flemish Aliiance) has it's roots in nationalism, mainly pro-independence for Flanders. They have pretty much gone mainstream since 2010-2012, they have for example softened their stance on...

Brussels to BLAME? Italy’s Salvini lashes out at the EU after Genoa bridge collapse ITALY’S interior minister Matteo Salvini argued European budget constraints may have prevented local authorities from repairing the Genoa bridge that collapsed yesterday, killing at least 37 people...

Maybe their reliable customers like Algeria might buy some, hell even India might buy those improved fighters, as they don't really have any alternatives. https://thediplomat.com/2018/02/could-russia-design-a-fifth-generation-variant-of-the-su-35-for-india/ Genrally, you need allies for that...

@Vergennes @HannibalBarca @Taygibay Les félicitations pour votre titre mondial! Overall, France is a deserving winner of this World Cup, maybe they didn't bring their typical refined football, but they were a strong team with great efficiency. They were willing to push away the idea of bringing...

Credit where it is due; the French team didn't allow us to play well either, we really love countering, but that's going to be difficult against a team that doesn't give us a chance to. Well I hope you're right, but our defenders are old and at the moment there are no young guys to fill that...

This is very painful, knowing this probably was our only real chance of making history. The saddest thought that rules now is that this was our golden generation and we won't see another one like this one for a long time. :( The absence of Meunier was definitely felt. Maybe one of our current...

Words cannot express how happy we are here in Belgium. After Brazil's goal, I do think I lost several years of my life... At this point there's a sense that we already achieved what we wanted; reaching the semi-finals and from now on, things can go better. Well, we're worried about France too...

I don't know, Bacca had a very poor penalty, I remember him doing way better than that in his time in Belgium.

Oi Oi, that's something I like to read! I don't like the 3-4-3 system against bigger teams. Let's see what the Red Devils will do.

Really impressed with Russia's battle spirit, I am even more dissapointed in Spain's performance, we didn't see their 'tikki-taka' football, we saw 'tikki.................taka' football. Also not so impressed with Croatia, now I can really understand why England wanted to lose against us, I am...

I agree that those men do deserve their respect, but the sport of football doesn't stop for thier glory. I think it is the task of the older generation to help the younglings to repeat that accomplishment (winning the cup). If you start acting entitled, things like this happen, just like France...

The England vs Belgium game was weird. Neither team seemed to go for the win, until the second half, when Belgium strarted trying. I was still happy with Belgium's performance, at least in the second half. That's probably because I had low expectations to begin with. Best part of the game...
