And according to the MQM, Pakistanis should be grateful that this person and his culture arrived in Pakistan. Explains why Karachi now resembles Calcutta.
Sure, go ahead. In this scenario according to you Russia will nuke Turkey on the second day. Now what?
- How many nukes does it take before the Turkish government decides to surrender? Japan after losing millions of its soldiers and people and suffering two nuclear bomb attacks wasn't prepared...
That's nonsense. Pakistan under the leadership of Zia allowed the Iranians to trade from Karachi.
Pity that didn't help all the Indian Shia survive the Gujarat massacres carried out by Modi. I believe there were even 1 or 2 Indian Shia politicians in the collection of 10,000 Indian Muslims...
take a chill pill. It's a scenario. If you believe Iran will intervene by sending Iranian armor into Syria or Turkey then I'm happy for you to incorporate it into the overall wargame. Since you don't think Iran will do that, then the question is moot.
And once again, this is a wargame. It's not...
I've repeated this multiple times but there appears to be some misunderstanding. I'm not asking for your views on the Turkish government, or whether you think war is likely or not likely. Let me try and force you into a war scenario.
1. After several weeks of relentless PKK attacks, and under...
Shall we talk in more relevant terms about the current capabilities and restraints on both powers rather than discussing the historical ebb and flow? I'd rather not discuss how the Russian Czar once kissed the boot of the Tatar Khan every year, or how the Russians and their allies almost...
Cannibals also like people, and they like to keep them nice and fat before putting them in the pot. Suggest you stop spamming the forum with rubbish which you don't even waste the time reading yourself.
Pakistan should stay out of it. If this continues the Bengalis will be caught between the trap of India or China; if not between the demands of India and their own wish to remain independent. India doesn't have a good history of getting along with weaker neighbors.
Ankit,
most of what you say is sensible but can we please not say things like 'will mean destruction of Turkey'? What does such a phrase mean? Does it mean 90 million Turks will suddenly give up?
At the moment Russia has only faced a fraction of Turkey's total air assets. There is no doubt...
This is rubbish. The person who wrote this pack of myths has discredited himself, and so has the person who posted this.
How was it that a Hindu in Central India managed to send troops all the way to Kufa? In between the Epthali (Abdali) Pashtun empire was still in existence not to mention that...
I know what Turks are capable of doing when they are really determined. I know how long the Turks can work to complete a goal. I'm just surprised that nowadays Turks prefer to react rather than act when a situation is first developing.
Nothing great in life can be achieved without being willing...
Urdu was imposed as the official language in 1948. The East Pakistanis began their demonstrations against it in 1952 because up until that period, the new Urdu speaking ruling elite shifted between a hardline attitude and holding out the possibility of compromise. 1952 was the year that the Urdu...
I had hoped that this would be a serious discussion where people would think through the entire scenario from start to finish. Unfortunately, all I'm getting is half-baked nonsense from people who are fanboys of various weapon systems which they think will force one of the most powerful military...
Turkey has 600,000 troops and many more reserves it can call upon. It has an excellent airforce. It's probably weakest in terms of its naval forces.
How would Russia transport its weapons and equipment to try and prevent the Turkish military rolling into Syria?
The pro-Bashar forces at the...
Ok. Let's say the war is purely Turkey and some Arab countries on one side and Russia and Iran on the other. I can't see Iran rushing armored ground forces into this war because they would be mincemeat for all those Arab airforces.
Are you saying China would send ground and airforces to fight...
