    U.S. Military Preparing for a Full Withdrawal of Its Forces From Syria

    That is highly debatable, Afghanistan is a complex country and I think over the years the Afghan government and Armed Forces have become more competent, better trained and equipped. Failure will be measured in what happens in Afghanistan post US withdrawal. If it falls back to the Taliban than...

    HOUTHIS LAUNCH NEW OFFENSIVE INSIDE SAUDI ARABIA

    According to CIA facts 65% of the Yemeni population is estimated to be Sunni. Further, I think it is comical to say Lindsey Graham has no clue given he served on the intel committee and is a 25 year veteran of the US Senate.

    HOUTHIS LAUNCH NEW OFFENSIVE INSIDE SAUDI ARABIA

    Just another example of KSA incompetence, how does a country (Yemen) with majority Sunni people, bordering KSA get put in a disadvantage such as this. " To quote Us Senator Lindsey Graham "If the Americans abandon the KSA, they would speak Farsi in a week." Their only hope is Turkey, the only...

    Trump Says Saudi Arabia is 'Very Good Ally'

I mean not only does the US get discounted oil, they force the Saudis to sign 400-billion dollar deals with the US military industrial complex essentially taking back all of the money Saudi made from selling oil to the US, send thousands of their Saudi students to pay tuition...

    Turkish Peace Operations in Syria (Operation Olive Branch) Updates & Discussions

    I have a feeling this operation will start early next week, possibly early night hours of Monday. Again, the timing is a bit odd and the whole strategy on Syria is "lazy." This operation should have been done years ago to clear ISIS and the YPG, that in of it self would have created a buffer...

    New American Civil War? Some people think it’s already begun

    I doubt it would last, the US security apparatus is too big and it would squash any potential conflict at the very start. I also doubt people would want to participate, or if it really gets bad, which I doubt, then the winner would be who ever the military supports.

    Why didn't the Balkans become muslim?

    Possibly, however the migration of Bosniaks to Istanbul and further east into Anatolia has been a gradual process throughout the time of the Ottoman empire and it increased towards the end. There are still Bosniak villages primailry in the Izmir area where people still speak Bosnian- old school...

    Why didn't the Balkans become muslim?

    There were a lot of Muslims in the Balkand during the Ottoman Empire, many of which left to live in anatolia during the withdrawal of the Ottomans and expansion of the Austro-Hungarians. Today, estimates claim that over 4,000,000 people in Turkey are ethnically Bosniaks, which is more Bosniaks...

    Armed Forces of Bosnia & Herzegovina

    He wanted to be a senior member of the ARBIH but was rejected due to his past criminal background and disagreement with the president and military top commanders on tactics - he wanted to be more assertive with missions and the way he conducted them in a ruthless way - so in spite he went to...

    Breaking: Trump to Deliver Statement on Syria

    We shall see what happens. I don't think this is a pretext to occupy Syria, at the end of these strikes Russia will still be there and so will the regime.

    Breaking: Trump to Deliver Statement on Syria

    The "Deconfliction Line" has been in use for years- on and off, the US did not notify the Russians of the attacks, however communication between RU and USA is common esp when both powers have jets in the skies above Syria.

    Breaking: Trump to Deliver Statement on Syria

    I don't think you can put Russia in the same league with Iran and Syria. Russia can and has the ability to respond, however time will tell to what extent.
