These people have brain worms. Where or when in history were borders redrawn and populations shifted in a humane and peaceful way? I only chose to quote this part. Simply because it is indicative of the quality and sobriety of the rest.

Have in mind people that "Daniel John Burrough" is not Brenton Tarrant (the shooter that did the livestream), but a second suspect, 18 years old. We don't know yet if he even took part in the shootings, this might be a different case all-together (maybe an arrest for incitement to violence?)...

A trained person with a gun and an electronic flashbang attached to the weapon. He couldn't even see him properly. RIP, he was truly a hero.

This act of right wing terrorism from a white supremacist is indicative of a toxic culture that have been brewing for a while in the fringes of the internet. Sites like 8ch, 4chan, stormfront and others are a cesspool of misanthropy, bigotry, hate and prejudice. And this attack carried...

F-21 Torpedo emerges as favorite for procurement by the Greek navy. https://defencereview.gr/pn-favori-i-galliki-torpili-f-21/ There is a $105M appropriation in the 2019 military expenditure fund for the initial procurement of 36 modern torpedoes. These are destined to be fielded on the...

Objective logic and a study of the particulars involved.

If I understand this correctly, the argument is that the current structure of the US armed forces has been developed in the last twenty years to produce the worlds' most lethal offensive force, a force though that is not optimized to fight peer enemies. This is pretty logical, since after the...

Yes I know this, but I also happen to know that this is the exact reason for the exercise. ;)

The reason is actually a lot more mundane. The first part of this deployment is an integration and inter-operation exercise for THAAD and Arrow. You can view this like Juniper Cobra, but with THAAD. This has been planned for quite some time I might add. BTW, it will be funny when the systems...

It is impossible for the US side to NOT know that the S-400 procurement is a done deal by now. Assuming that Turkey does indeed procure the Patriot system, wouldn't that help with normalizing the relations and moving the F-35 contract forward at the same time? Turkey might just be able to solve...

Greece was supportive of the process, but had no say for the matter at hand. I think that you know pretty well why the Greek Cypriots voted down Annan V. By the time the plan got to the refferendum process, it had significantly morphed from Annan II and all 11 major Turkish demands were met...
