I think that situation is far more complex then the choice of a weapon system. why is Turkey wiling to risk all of this for S400? why it chose S400 instead of european system for exmpl? they scrapped old tender when Chinese system was chosen after US objected.Whats diferent this time around? Why...

bro, Turks are not leaving Syria anytime soon. They cant alow their backyard to be playing ground for Russians and US and not have a say. ------- anyone with a half of brain seen this coming except grand strategists at CENTCOM. More Arab protests expected against Kurdish SDF in Syria...

'turkish' special forces fucked em up again :D

sensationalism Turkey just dont want to find itself in the crossfire of US-China trade war; btw Turkey is well positioned to ripp export benefits from Trumps China tarrifs. Dodging highly public meetings like this is just common sense. while, in same week: Alibaba's payment platform enters...

GNA anounced military budget for defence of Tripoli 2 months ago of around 400 milion bucks. They have the money, Central Bank is under their control. But no western country was willing to sell them and risk military contracts with UAE/KSA, also arms embargo prevents smaller countries to get...

Im not sure this is done pro bono. GNA goverment has more then enough money to pay they control Central Bank, problem was finding someone wiling to sell them cause of UAE-KSA-France pressure and arms embargo
