If they're using this against FSA and ISIS forces then clearly this isn't on the level of WMDs. Can this bypass Israel's defenses?

And? The Eastern Turks are mixed with Iranian peoples and some to Mongolian. Literally all Turkic peoples are mixed. The Turkic homeland is not in Central Asia but in North Asia.

Turkey needs to put pirates on payroll. Start a "marine defense" contracting company, then slowly turn that into a small coastguard. Then start taxing these other countries who use their waters. The reason why Somalia and Yemen are in perpetual civil war for the last several decdes is...

There's very few Shia in Syria so this scenario makes no sense. There's going to be Sunni on both sides and likely more in the Southern half.

Do you have any sources on this? The only thing I see is that Britain has bombed Syria with thermobaric weapons....

How about the part where majority of Somalians don't even support the government and they're embroiled in a civil war? Somalia's government doesn't even control the northern half of the country. In any case, this will just spell more doom for the government. They're going to be very unpopular...

China: We believe in non-interference....except when we decide to interfere in investigations of ethnic cleansing.

They are not fighting each other. It's heavily one sided. When Myanmar first gained independence Rohingya were considered citizens, but after iirc Ne Win in the late 50s came into power he stripped them of citizenship and Myanmar has been persecuting them ever since. In the 90s and 2000s, the...

Koreans are moving out to Korea where they came from. Uighurs have been living in in Xinjiang for well over a thousand years, there's no Republic of Uighuria they can just migrate to for convenience. Ethnic Germans were once numerous in Russia and Central Asia. 95% of them migrated to Germany...

If you read the image caption. This entire study is of the % of people who chose "'People of another race' when asked to pick from groups of people they would not want as neighbors". Picking something like that on a survey and realities on ground are not exactly mutually inclusive. In the case...

I never said you had a 'race' problem. There's only 2 races in Pakistan (Iranic and Indic) and both of them are brown.

Pragmatically, I would hope BD sends delegations to Muslim and Western countries to put tangible pressure on Myanmar, that includes a re-imposition of sanctions. This actually gets other states from financially and diplomatically backing the Burmese regime. Which in turn actually slows down the...

Myanmar was on the side of Japan during WW2. Japan is on the side of Myanmar on the diplomatic front due to its history, and has been involved with the regime well before China came on board. Japan doesn't want Rohingya to encircle China of all things.

By critical mass I mean that once you have a third of the population, no one can oppress you and you have political leverage. Muslims aren't the type that they can just be pushed around when they have numbers. Also since it's a federal system, Muslims could have made their own rules and norms in...

That's precisely why I have been critical towards Pakistanis because of the sheer prevalence of tribal and sectarian politics. I wasn't born before 71 so I never engaged in any sort of Bengali ethnocentrism. I am alive now and in BD there's no tribalism and sectarian violence. It's also why I...

I looked it up, and you've had a lull in the violence this year but you had violence last year. That's hardly enough time to say there's "barely any incidents". I'm glad it's reduced but it's just reality that it happens. Here's an incident from April 2018 that had 2 shia killed...

And this is exactly my point. Your sectarian mentality makes you claim that even those millions who died are 'not Muslims.' Millions died and they're all non-Muslims....according to you. Why? Not because of their religious sect but because they happen to be on the other side of an ethnic and...

Damn. You gotta be delusional to think those millions of Bengalis who died deserve to go to hell. I wouldn't even in my wildest dreams claim that Pakistanis killed by bombs and tribalism are all going to hell. I don't know what version of Islam you follow, where you go to hell for eternity...

Damn. You gotta be delusional to think those millions of Bengalis who died deserve to go to hell. I wouldn't even in my wildest dreams claim that Pakistanis killed by bombs and sectarianism are all going to hell.

Saudi support for rebuilding Syria isn't as cut and dry as you think. The goal of the Zionist-Neocon Axis has always been to take out any rivals of Israel. That is why they're always harping on about WMDs, and took out Iraq and Libya, and by destabilizing Syria their job is done because they set...
