Possibly. I'm too lazy to actually check the dates atm. And the Turks do fight against PKK from time to time, as far as I know PKK wants an independent Kurdistan that includes areas that Turkey currently has. Well there are plenty of disputes, I'll just tell you about one of the main ones. It...

I'm just saying that Greece has a territorial dispute with Turkey and it's a NATO country. And Turkey has a territorial dispute with Greece and the Kurds. So it's more along the lines of "NATO doesn't take in countries that have territorial disputes that involve Russia in some way". xP

:coffee:

In any case there is no serious issue with Lebanon now. As far as Palestine goes, I hope that they can soon find a solution and have their own independent state in Gaza and the West Bank recognized by Israel. Lots of progress will be made if everything goes according to the plan that the...

Why Hezbollah? Israel isn't inside Lebanon anymore. Is it?

Well that's the point of the UN, nobody has interest in the area. If China would send a number of peacekeepers it would indeed solve the problem.

I heard that Philippines is about to get all its 331 blue berets away from the area. If they really intend to carry on with that decision I hope that some other country will fill the gap. This is exactly the reason UN forces should be there. Unless we want these 43 blue berets from the Fiji...

It'll be interesting to watch. As of now the tide is obviously favoring Ukraine. The Ukrainians are gathering forces in Mariupol to defend the city. The Greek consulate is being currently transferred temporarily from Mariupol to Dnipropetrovsk. There are thousands of Greeks living in Mariupol...

Jeffrey Lewis • Storm Shadow, Saudi & the MTCR So essentially some countries that are part of the treaty just say **** you and export their weapons anyway. :lol:

It depends on the missile's warhead as well. If its weight is less than 500 kg, the range doesn't matter. That's why Greece was able to buy the original SCALP EG after all. They either need to cut its range for the export versions or just use the same warhead that the air-launched version has...

I don't think that Americans are getting their asses kicked in Afghanistan. That being said, I don't think that you can compare the Taliban with the tactical Ukrainian army and air force.

Wow, really impressive. Especially its fire and forget capabilities. :)

Truth is that Spiegel probably overreacts about this but there is certainly some truth here. Germany has steadily being spending 1.3 to 1.4% of its GDP to the military even though NATO recommends that it should raise its military expenditures above 2%. Germany needs to step up its game anyway...

That's nice. They look great. :) If everything goes according to plan, Greece will have its second Type 214 submarine ready for sea trials in September. The first one has already completed the trials and is in active service. And after that we'll have two more Type 214 submarines to be...

I heard about this as well. The Americans warned us about this too a few days ago and told us to inspect all our F-16Ds, or at least the older models. We have 4 F-16Ds block 30, 8 F-16Ds block 50, 19 F-16Ds block 52+ and 10 F-16Ds Adv. We inspected our whole fleet, even our F-16Cs, just to be...

Oh, the exact ones that Greece was trying to buy in 2009. Then the crisis hit and our order was cut to just four from the original six. Then only two. Then the Germans called us on this and so the French tried to lease us these two. The original deal was going to cost 7 billion euros while the...

Russia already had a large problem with its inflation rate which will be only get more serious with the recent sanctions.

We should do QE and then pray and wait for the next German elections in 3 years. We can also hope for a group of EU countries to take the lead, although that's unlikely.

No, not really. I'm wearing a black T-shirt with green letters on. xD

Not much. :) I was a bit busy lately, that's all. xP
