Looks like the Assadists are aiming to cut the road from Reyhani to Idlib. They are about 12-15 km away and moving very quickly westwards. It's an unexpected brave move and quite clever. Let's hope that the Russians don't stall the Turks until it's too late.
Locked and loaded, with some...
Big shipment. Just the Kipri alone total 40. Is that 500 Soldiers?
If this is true it means that Turks are saying that the want to be taken seriously with their agreements.
And after Astana and Sochi there were other agreements too, with US and Russia.
I think there is a lot of moderate groups and individuals under HTS, that had no choice but to join the main body when they did takeover. Now there are substantial Turks on the ground in Idlib as the main force things will change and groups will be encouraged to join SNA. But there will be a...
Aleppo would be a good start. :) People would choose to relocate back there. The Turkish reinforcements are massive, unseen before, also there is a very large amount of soldiers this time, as they used a lot of SNA before. Soldiers seem not to be stationed at a base, so they are expecting to...
There must have been a deal to allow Assad M5 and perhaps later M4. Problem is the Turks got hit in an area that Assad shouldn't have taken (for the moment). Once M5 operation is over I think that Turks will start an operation to take full control of Idlib from HTS. That is why SNA members have...
They have outstretched themselves moving towards Idlib. Once the air support dies off they will get slaughtered there. I think they will retreat for now.
I believe it's the best time to move on Tel Rifat now. Close the PKK pocket there and surround Aleppo from the north. But the problem is that Russia is not afraid to bomb the Turk controlled areas now, after Tadif the other day.
Let's hope that Algeria understands that the other side will either buy or bully them into submission. And once that is done, there will no longer be any democracy. By democracy I mean a country being in control of its self. And most likely they will install a dictator too.
It's not actual rape. It is for people who have relationship with someone under 18 in Turkey, which is age of consent in that country. So person could be 19 and in a relationship with a 17 year old. So they could be charged with statutory rape. Problem is Turkey's high age of consent.

AK Party bashing again, this time on Libya operations thread. I didn't see the opposition parties supporting this operation. So it's fair to say that this is an AK Party operation, like the last three. But you'll turn around and say that the military is in charge not the government. When troops...
Nonsense article because the Aegean territorial waters and airspace is in dispute, so the Turks believe that they are flying in their own airspace. Does the American conditions apply to flying in disputed airspace? If so the Greeks shouldn't be flying there either.
Sorry have not been up to date with Chinese news recently, but that being said, it isn't a mature system and for all we know there are only a few systems in deployment (if any). And there is also an uncertainty as to number of warheads, could be as little as three.
Also, US and Russian have had...
Only the Russians could face off US in a full fledged war, and it would be using land and sub based nukes. I don't believe the Chinese have this capability yet. The Russians having a limited budget for decades kept these programs alive while neglecting almost everything else. But they are a real...
Maybe 30 years. And that is if the US economy were to collapse. Only economics can kill the US like the Soviet Union. I think one US carrier group has enough firepower to turn most countries back to the stone age.
