The religious aspect was not in play when relations went sour. It happened during the Syria/Israel peace talks we were moderating where we got Syria to agree to almost everything Israel wanted and Israel agreed to many things. Everything on both sides looked very good as almost 4 rounds of talks...

To sustain a capable force without it we would have 200,000 to 250,000 across our branches rather then around 600,000 to 700,000 we have now. We have not been able to professionalize into the needed troop level requirements yet. So mandatory conscription for all males is what is used. There are...

U.K. Germany France Italy Spain are all ahead of us. They have a better industry and better equipped troops and fully modern equipment across all branches. We do not have this Possibly in the future there is a good chance we will(around 2020) but right now we are behind these countries. We...

I have been looking into these engines and Rolls-Royce and Honeywell are suppliers to Augusta which in turn supply them to TEI. However will be producing them under license (not sure if it will be full or part production however) In all reality though if the U.S. were to actually block engine...

Libyan Rebels.

They are going to be fielding 390 and obviously form the price and capabilities this isn't a generic 3rd generation for mass production. The K-1 will still make up their backbone. Turkey is looking for 4 batches of tanks 250 each with upgrades in each batch this is most likely going to move...

Pakistan will probably work with China on further improvements to their tank. Turkey has gone with South Korea because we liked what they were doing with the K-2 and also because we have dealt with their arms in the past and had good experiences (T-155 is a modified K-9). It was smart outright...

I think this is number 6 or 7 you would think the moderation would get a clue at this point.

It all started when they pissed all over our efforts with them and Syria. People really don't realize how hard Turkey worked on that agreement we got Syria to agree to 99% of what Israel wanted and Israel agreed to many things as well and a deal was very close. Then Israel decided to bomb Gaza...

Tea party nuts ? Your actually trying to post them as a example of the American public. Even mainstream conservatives stay away from these people. Now i can post a thread about Muslim extremist groups that protest against the troops of countries their in and call for sharia law. Except i know...

Why does it matter when its outdated and not modern. If someone makes 1,000 M60s and the country its at war against goes out and buys 300 Leopard 2A6s tell me who has the advantage there ? China has no AESA equipped aircraft while all Japanese F-2s have it along with flir integration which...

China is modernizing very quickly and at this point no country could defeat it conventionally really. The only part lacking is the technological solutions that would put it in line with SK or Japan from that standpoint. In due time that will come but your probably right about it being a budget...

Till china has anything in line with their F-15 variants and their F-2s which fly around with AESA radars they hold the technological advantage. Also isn't the back bone of the Chinese air force still J-7s not really much of a point to be critical of their F-4s Especially since they can carry...

Or the many protesters who saw the air strikes themselves.

There is a good chance that officers in question also hold important positions and can not be sent off and replaced quickly. Since they are under NATO command it is their call.

You mean Aselsan ? If so they have sold 200 million dollars worth of communications equipment (mainly multi band radios) to Pakistan.
