Saw somewhere that since 48, Israel fought 17 small & full scale wars/skrimishes with her neighbors. If that is true (???), it must be an amazing achievement, keeping in mind all these were conflicts using conventional weapons. Israel's neighbors doesn't seem to have learn much from their errors...

Wise comment. All civilized races (Turks, Iraninans .....) in Mid East needs to unite against the common enemy i.e. the extremists.

First Iran needs to form an alliance with Iraq-Syria-Yemen-Lebanon to stop the immidiate threat i.e. fanatic extremists. Then it should try to become member of SCO. Collectively SCO could counter the might of NATO. Mere co-operation between two nations won't achieve much against the collective...

Interesting. For Mongolia playing sino-Russian rivalry is the way to gurantee they remain a sovereign nation. In this sense Afghanistan is also interesting. It seats right at the heart where 4 regions meet i.e. Central Asia, Mid East (Iran), South Asia (Pakistan) & China although I have seen...

Is Mongolia not in Central Asia ?

Which nation might considered strongest in Central Asia (from a defense stand point) ?

Who is Mete Han ? Turkic or Turkish. Don't think they are the same. I believe in 209 BC near east was divided between Roman and Parthian empires..

Curious, what's the story behind 209 BC ?

Barbarian, Israel & NATO is killing savages of your race everyday like flies. Watch your mouth and bleach your skin before claiming to become civilized !

Doubtfull that will materialize atleast with Arab states (Iran already has an advanced program and is under crippling sanction). US ensures Israel maintains military edge over arabs even excluding Samson option.

Per wiki, it seems PAF has more aircraft than most it's neighbors in Mid East & Central Asia. It's bigger than Iran, Turkish & Israeli airforce. Does PAF really has ~1000 Aircrafts ?

It's not about ethnicity or having much in common. Victors of WW2 setup the security council. World has changed today. It's about states that has strong economy that can best represent a region. Japanese are a minority in North East Asia but most nations would accept it representing Asia-Pacific...

What is the road block for SCO becoming a military alliance ? Multi-polar world is much better for humanity than an unipolar one. I am also of the opinion more nations should be incuded as permanent member in the UN. Japan representing Asia-Pacific Turkey - Mid East & North Africa Nigeria (or...

Tatars are Turkic. They were part of the Mongol army that overran Russia in the 13th century. Today's Tatars has more Turkic, Russian(thru inter marriage) blood than others.

Iran has a long and glorious past. It's future lies with the civilized nations in the region (Turkey, Central Asia, Caucasus) and of the rest of the world not with brainless desert barbarian bedouins

Kurds won't become independent any time soon. Only way for them to live would be as part of a bigger neighbor with a degree of self rule/autonomy.

If Turkey is to join the fight against these savage bedouin barbarians, it should ensure northern Iraq & Kurdish region joins as with it as an autonomous coonfederation. This will ensure safety for sunni's and kurds. Southern Iraq could form a confederation with Iran which will guarantee the...

They had their reasons. After Katherine swallowed their state they were literally reduced to serfs in their own land ! Nazi's promised and did give them more autonomy. That's why today they would prefer to be part of Ukraine then go under the yoke of Moscow again. Russification has already...

Crimean Khanate(also a breakaway of the Golden Horde) was also notorious for slavery. But they became vassal of the Ottomans. That explains why Russians have so deep dislike of Tatars. Stalin (from Caucasus) disliked them like he disliked the Nazi's.
