I love turkey because of its military strength (and women lol ) but the military is getting stronger and stronger. It is also good Turkey is focusing on having a strong navy and airforce. The thing is they need to develop UAV's to strike at PKK sanctuaries in Iraqi Kurdistan. Turkey is going...

What I am about to say is controversial but it is a solution to the meltdown in Syria. There is no doubt the govts of the GCC are sending arms to the FSA. However one thing that worries me is the Wahhabi importation the GCC will send to Syria. Assad has to go but the Wahhabi militias in Syria...

I thought Russia crushed all the wahhabi islamist in Chechnya? Did they spread to Dagestan? Putin really put down the boot in the second chechen war. Russia went the total warfare route to defeat the separatist. I guess total warfare can defeat an isurgency.

Alright then if they can't send the military can they not use drone strikes and intelligence work. i mean I do not know how Indian politics or how the state and federal power works but using law enforcement to fight an internal insurgency does not make sense. Pakistan is using its military to...

What the hell is taking India so long to send in the military!!?? In the US if one of the right wing militias even dared to start an armed uprising the military would be sent in by president who would invoke the Insurrection Act. What is India waiting for until they take more territory or launch...

The GCC will be a confederacy. They will share a common currency and armed forces but each nation will handle their own internal affairs. The economical potential of this is crazy. Saudi Arabian,Kuwaiti,Oman,UAE,Qatari oil and natural gas will make them much more richer and with more wealth the...

Thanks for explaining. The situation is grve with Syria but if they did do that would not Turkey then declare war against Assad and take him out by themselves? Plus drone strikes alone do not warrant success. It works but it does not defeat an insurgency alone.We in the US ar elearning this the...

The Iraqi Army is ill equipped to take on the PKK. They can't even defeat the sunni warlords in Anbar. Second the Kurdish peshmerga will never allow Iraqi soldiers in their lands to fight PKK. The Kurdish peshmerga supports the PKK no doubt about. My question is if the Iraqi govt is unwilling or...

It all dpends on what happens in Syria. From the looks of it there will be no intervention in Syria by NATO because the West is tired of war and the middle east. How far will Iran go to protect Assad? There are rumors that Assad's 4th Armoured Division is being reinforces with Iranian...

You forget mention Yemen. Iran wants Yemen to fall. Think about it. If the South wages an insurgency against the Yemeni govt Iran could support them. And when they secede Iran could use the South to arm the shia Houthis in the North. If the Yemeni govt collapses or fails to defeat the shia...

As an America on the outside looking in Pakistan has problems most democracies have. In the US we have corruption but it does not mean we are a failed state. For Pakistan their biggest problems is the Wahhabi extremist who terrorizing their nation. They need to fully use their military might to...

You make a fair point. I guess I did not put that in account.:undecided: Thank you for pointing that out for me. Having the industrial base to wage war is important then buying weapons but cannot replace them in a prolonged conflict. Here is my new list then USA Russia China India France...

Well global firepower fails to take in account military technology. For example Iran has a higher number because they have larger population,reserve force,more personnel. but if look at military tech Saudi Arabia has F-15,F-16,and Eurofighter where as Iran is using old F-14 and old MIGs. Heres...
