It's not impressive to build a Bashiqa base in Iraq exploiting Iraq's internal chaos, useless base btw. same for Syria. Will get you hostility at most.
When did I deny this?
Small GCC states are known to invite the US for permanent bases in their countries as this provides them security against other regional powers.
Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain need those US bases or they will be swallowed up by neighbors, they're small states and very...
So then why did you aid America's operation in Iraq in both 1991 and 2003, you were being the American lapdog against the resistance.
I'll tell you why, none of this is logic. You just believe that YOU are right and others are wrong. Self-centered nonsense in this entire thread.
Iran and Turkey both create problems and meddle in the Arab states more than others in the region. What makes you think you're better? All Iran has been doing is spawning militia's left and right for a failed resistance axis, this can be cut off starting in Iraq to isolate Iran from Syria. That...
But Turks want to annex, some Iranians want to expand. I want to expand as well. I think first take Khuzestan and use the oil wealth to fund a war against Turkey, then conquer both of them and Arabize them.
Removing the Sunnism and Shiaism in all those people, that would be a nice sight
The anti American sentiment in the country, directed from Shia groups doesn't serve Iraqi interests but Iranian interests. They can't help it either, they go by what is "righteous" according to some illogical...
I would say it's better to not mix up fights against IS and fights against PKK.
Hence I mentioned Euphrates Shield to point something out. When you read this thread you will find people put the emphasis and focus on their nation, forget the flag and nation behind TAF and look at the...
Look at Euphrates shield instead of Afrin, Kurds aren't good fighters all they know is to fire an ATGW. USAF did everything for them, they're a bit better than their peshmerga brothers but useless.
they should focus on what they're good at
Turkey is not combat proven and the result can be seen in Operation Euphrates shield which resulted in many tank losses as well as failures. Now the operation in Afrin, which is a tiny enclave of small towns shows more weaknesses with heavy reliance on air power. The low-level insurgency of the...
Some renewed news about S-400 purchase plans, HQ-9 purchase that was mentioned seems to have not gone through. Similarly the news was first that Chinese tanks were chosen, but then they went for T-90.
