Mosul opp will probably be a fucking mess.

Maybe it isnt the best example. But nevertheless I really cant see Russians helping Turkey in this highly significant military field knowing full well that turkish geostrategic interests and those of Russia differ from the Balkans to the ME and beynd and in most cases differences are not that...

You mean greek S-300. But then the system effectivnes is very much reduced if not part of larger level network of Air defence. Also I doubt Russian are willing to share its tehnology with Turkey for various reasons. It took almost 20 years to sell it to their long time strategic partner Iran...

NATO But this is a good way to preassure reluctant western gov/companies for some ToT agremeents on Air defece systems.

Sure. Economic sanctions are doing its job and the new ones over russian war crimes in Syria are looming. Not to mention building costs of their Syria/Ukraine adventures. If Turkey can take advantage of these new circumastences, it would be stupid not to. Its funny how proRussian propaganda and...

Short but still better & more nuanced analysis then most of what you'll find in majority of think pieces on this subject.

Too bad they got caught.

For sure, country with a great potential.

Its not a failure if it was intentional. As I said, no way Turkey didnt know about the "welcoming party" to US troops. Maybe for some reason Turkey doesnt want to many US troops in their area of operation. And this was was a way to ensure that. Look you guys we are all for cooperation and all...

Its hardly unlikely to say the least that Turkey didnt know rebel stance re US troops. These are more or less the same gruops that refused to join SDF. In other news, Ahrar al Sham officially joins Eupharat shield battle

5km from Dabiq.

Why were US special forces run out of al-Rai - and why does it matter? They are supporting the Kurds, who are fighting us everywhere in Aleppo. They are allowing the Syrian regime to use their airforce to slaughter us on a daily basis. Now, they are planning to cooperate military with Russia to...

Dont worry bro, they will be few of them in Syria. Patience :-)

These pictures and cartoons are very reminiscente of western anti-ottoman propaganda from late 19th early 20th century.
