They could have just kept Manchuko and drove the French & Dutch out of East Asia without touching Yankees and Tommies. Roosevelt cared less about french/Dutch anyway. Once entire anglo world was up in arms Japans days were numbered.

Good. China is learning to project power. Keep it up !

As I stated before if Russians can take Crimea turn Georgia & East Ukraine into vassals, Turkey should expand in the Balkans. This will ensure balance of power between EU and Russia.

Russia is also in Asia (vast Siberia). Russian pacific fleet can easily take on any challenge (other than US navy !).

Very interesting video Why arabs lose wars

Good going. Seems like Turks & Iranians are the only ones in Mid East & North Africa that understands the art of alliance/diplomacy through maritime power projection.

Japan should have initiated the surrender process immediately after the horrendous firebombing of Tokyo (March 9-10, 1945). Over 100,000 were dead and a million homeless. When Berlin fell another opportunity was there for Japan. But all these were missed for whatever reason. Had Japan initiated...

Any plan for PLAN to setup overseas bases say in Africa or South America ? China is far behind when it comes to "projection of power". It needs to look beyond it's backyard i.e. China sea.

A brilliant blend of art and architecture indeed !

Very likely ICC will reject the application as well. Interesting fact was U.K broke ranks with Washington and abstained. It could afford to since Washington needs the Brits to counter french-german influence within EU. Seems like Australia had no choice but to oppose and support uncle Sam to...

Good going. Why doesn't Iran participate in exercises with other friendly nations (China, Russia ...) or SCO exercises ? Don't think sanction could restrict that.

It's not Al Jazeera seems like no-one likes these treacherous, illiterate desert bedouins who only 50 years ago lived a primitive life. 100 years ago their enemy was Turks. Today their enemy are all civilized nations of Mid East (Turks, Iranians, Kurds, Israelis...) and off course rest of the...

Saw in the news Syria-Iraq & Iranian ministers meeting in Tehran next week. Time to create an alliance to wipe out these death cult (ISIS).

This is good. Multi polar world ensures balance of power which in turn ensures peace in the world. Some one should update the wiki with these latest info.

Turkey should go for them. These ships will give them an edge in Black sea and Eastern Mediterranean.

Isn't pakistan in the process of becoming a member of SCO ? That's where future lies (civilized counter power to NATO ) !

Very true. Since middle ages all powerful nations maintained strong navies. Strategy hasn't changed till to this today. Navy was and will continue to dominate world affairs in the future. Even today a small island nation (UK) exerts it's influence in the world via it's navy (it's land forces is...

One could argue Timur was just a warlord. He sided with Russian principalities in his war against the Tatar Golden Horde. Tatars under Tokhtamysh's had burnt down Moscow to the ground(1382) like Batu Khan did in the 13th century (done only a few times in history, the other two being in 1571 by...

This is the brilliance of Israel's defense doctrine. Many in Mid East thinks Isreal's nuclear deterrence is against EU (maybe NATO ???) or Russia. But majority analysts in the west and Russia knows these are Israel's last line of defense against it's foe's in Mid East not them. Each side keeps...

What about today. Assuming Israel doesn't use "sampson option" (nukes), can any of Israel's neighbors defeat it in a conventional war as an individual state or as a part of a broader alliance ?
