Pakistan didn't stay neutral they joined the coalition with a few thousand troops. If war happens Pakistan won't defend Saudi unless America leads the way as before. Nukes won't be used, if nukes alone were a deterrent superpowers wouldn't have invested in so many other expensive conventional...
Where was Pakistan in 1990 when Iraq was walking over the Gulf, everyone waited for big daddy America. Even if Pakistan wanted they couldn't do anything, you would have to appoint a huge chunk of your military to make a significant difference which will leave you very vulnerable to an Indian...
So many of them would not be refugees if not for western military adventures, they bomb others and complain that they start coming to their country. The Brits conquered many lands, abused and stole wealth of other nations only to complain later about immigrants in London.
Turkey lost around ~10 tanks in Syria, yesterday IS posted a video of 2 tanks being hit making the number higher of damaged or destroyed tanks. Of course Iraq lost more given that Iraq is involved in bigger battles with IS in larger towns, in more towns for a longer period of time. Mosul OP is...
Such things can happen when a lunatic dictator (Saddam) is in power. But again you're wrong, the SOFA (Status of Forces Agreement) of 2011 wasn't extended as Maliki wanted the US out, thus they left. Their return in small numbers since was upon another invitation, they're only present on bases...
That's not what I said
The gov threatened with a military response when invaded, this was after TAF massed in Silopi, they didn't threaten with military response for the Bashiqa deployment.
US troops are there with gov approval and request.
Ok mr pres
All countries are artificial. However if you look at the ME region all of Iraq's neighbors have a completely different history and identity. Historically Arabia, Persia, Mesoptamia and the Levant have been their own for thousands of years, Iraq could be seen as occupying the heartland of...
Iraq's 2014 collapse was completely due to political factors not military factors. For this reason certain military units that are not tied to the affected chain of command were not subject to this collapse, ISOF is the biggest example of that. They managed to remain operational and successfully...
Disgusting attempt.
Arbaeen is actually far cleaner than the Saudis want to make it look like. 20 million people gather, far more than for Hajj and no incidents occur. Iraq isn't trying to make revenue off of it, food is free, many people offer pilgrims to stay at their houses, recently free...
Being 'good fighters' by nature is mostly nationalistic nonsense.
But if we go by that Turkey hasn't achieved or done anything militarily in modern times that Iraq hasn't achieved/done. Iraq fought a larger neighboring state to start with, Turkey didn't. Taking half of Cyprus equals Iraq taking...

The article was then deleted as the UN denied the report. Make a search for it and you'll find it.. in Arabic articles as well. Too much Taqiyya (I forgot true Muslims...
Well given your posts on the other thread I thought you were a kid,
Just to make it clearer for you since you most likely don't understand the full article.
Saudi-owned news site Asharq al-Awsat claimed on Sunday morning that a World Health Organization (WHO) report had indicated an epidemic...
erdogan made them refugees by pouring in arms to Syria and pulling the blind eye to all those Jihadi recruits
Turkey isn't small, they can handle it. Look at the size of Lebanon, they're hosting millions of Syrians.
Worrying allegations that Iranian pilgrims visiting the Iraqi city of Karbala are impregnating women and spreading diseases on a massive scale have turned out to be nothing more than fear-mongering.
