If you "truly" hope for that, then you have no regard for Indian lives or Indian security because if something like this came to pass, many of our people would die when a newly emboldened wave of Sunni jihadists inevitably ends up here. It would be the late 90's \ early 2000's all over ag...

Dear All, I believe Tulsi just needs 3000 unique donors now to make the December debate. She also needs 5000 in Illinois. I request BRFites to go to tulsi2020.com to their bit in helping a decent candidate and India friend go further. yes. Please donate even if $1 (spouse, kids > 18) with same addr...

Kannan sir, did it bother SCB not to take assistance from hitler during WWII just because hitler was trying to solve the "jewish question"? How many times we have voted against them at UN? Point is as long as Israelis don't fund and support LeT or JeM, we shouldn't be complaining about th...

Y. Kanan

You’re angry about symbolic Russian actions or statements while the US and Isreal support jihadists that have and will kill our people. Well, I suppose Indian lives are cheap, so perhaps your position is justified. After all, what’s a little “collateral damage” between friends?

Y. Kanan

Israel is absolutely spot on in anticipating trouble from Iran. The Mullahcracy in Iran regularly threatens Israel and is arming its proxies all around Israel to achieve this. Now Jihadi Erdogan has joined the list of threats that Israel faces. Even more importantly, the US and Russia have shown wi...

Regarding the blatant seizure of Syrian oil fields, it's nice to see the US now being openly seen as the rogue state we already knew them to be. https://www.npr.org/2019/10/30/774521472/if-u-s-takes-syrian-oil-it-may-violate-international-laws-against-pillage Stewart cites numerous international agr...

Erdogan appears to be setting himself up for a fall. He's got everyone uniting against him on the ground (Syrians, Kurds, Iranians, possibly Russians) and regional\Arab opinion against him, and general world opinion increasingly against him. Erdogan is starting to remind me of Saddam in 1991, isolat...

Israel’s interest in U.S. Syria policy was on display in American politics this week. 129 Republicans voted to condemn the decision when the House voted by 354-60 on that resolution Wednesday. Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer and House Majority leader Steny Hoyer said Trump’s move endangers Isr...

US ground troops will not enforce Syria 'safe zone' https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/10/ground-troops-enforce-syria-safe-zone-esper-191018182006799.html Isn't this imagined "Safe Zone" filling up with more Syrian, Kurdish and even Russian troops as we speak? If the US won't "enfor...

Picture Modi, Trump, Putin working together (with other national leaders like Assad, Rouhani and even Turdogan roped in when needed). If these players would coordinate in secret (like Trump and Putin did recently with Syria) then they could derail China's goals, defang the muslim threat worldwide, a...

There - you see? This thread has been dead for 2 days even though there's been plenty of ME news in that time. It's because nobody knows where to post things. Something's happening in Saudi - do we post to W. Asia thread? Iran thread? Something's happening in Syria but involving Turkey and the US .....

Y. Kanan

It actually makes sense from the POV of Hillary Clinton and her deep state handlers. TG will never get nominated as the Democratic candidate in any case. Now picture an ugly nomination fight, especially with accusations of suppression by the party, the media, etc. Perfect setup for a Tulsi Gabbard 3...

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov later said that Moscow does not want to entertain the possibility of a clash between Russian and Turkish forces. ... sounds a lot like the delusional thinking of Stalin in the days leading up to the German invasion in 1941. Like Stalin in 1941, Putin must know he's i...

Y. Kanan

There are regional threads to get the big picture and then there are individual country threads to get the India focus. I don't understand what you are complaining about. many folks told me they visit and get the proper perspective in BRF. If you look at the Turkey, Levant, W. Asia, Iran threads th...

Y. Kanan

She is wayyy too honest for her own good. She blames both parties for wars (true) but that butt hurts all the chorporate dems. Republicans are more immune to this because they've been accused of war mongering (true) for decades by left. The sheer hate for Tulsi on Twitter and elsewhere is an eye op...

Y. Kanan

You are not grasping what has happened. DT is withdrawing US from extended deployment as its not sustainable. This is like Imperial Rome in 400 AD. US prides it self as new Rome. Continental US will plug along like Byzantium for the future. Indeed, Russian-aligned governments now control, or will s...

There are too many players to have just one thread. I think ppl started threads thinking it could be THE thread to discuss a given geographical location where there was excitement. Or one for each nation involved in starting new excitements, or getting attacked. If that were true, we wouldn't have ...

(Oops wrong thread - apologies)

Y. Kanan

Nice arrangement: Trump gets to say "I killed ISIS and the Kurds are fine". Erdogan gets to say "Kurds are no longer an issue; they've reabosrbed into Syria and basically Iraq, too. I win." Putin gets to say "I win and from now on you all need to just side with me". Ass...

Y. Kanan

With all that is happening on Syria, this thread should not have had to be forcibly bumped back up to the top. This thread was forgotten because we have way too many threads covering the same stuff (Turkey thread, Iran thread, Saudi thread, W. Asia thread, etc). Nobody knows where to post things, an...

Y. Kanan

Did the Levant thread get merged into this one? Or did it just fall out of view because we forgot about it, because this forum has a dedicated thread for every sub set of every sub topic? What I'm trying to say is there are so many threads on this forum, and many of them are neglected. Why don't we ...

U.S. Forces Try to Stop Syrian Regime Forces From Helping Kurds Fight Turkey On a confused battlefield, the U.S. intervened to stop some Syrian and Russian forces advancing into the region to support the Kurds sparking fears of dangerous flash points https://www.thedailybeast.com/us-forces-reported...

Y. Kanan

Very gratifying to see the Syrians and Kurds now standing side by side to repel the Turkish hordes. A year ago, when DJT first tried to pull out of Syria and was overruled by the deep state, I predicted this would be the perfect solution: get the Kurds to rejoin Damascus to face the Turkish threat t...

Self-destructive as in beating up/killing/imprisoning their own best people. Look how MUCH better they would be if they stopped doing that.

I first visited Turkey in 1998 (was posted there). The extent of Islamisation in the Erdogan era is amazing. 20 years ago, there were few women in Istanbul wearing a headscarf. Only one person in our office fasted during Ramzan. Men did not have beards. Govt employees & Univ students were forbi...

From today radios show SDF hold 75000 ISIS families. Not all are terrorists. Sure they are. I have never understood this argument. If you work for terrorists on the home front by doing your wifely duties and popping out little baby jihadists, you are no different than the ISIS recruit mopping floor...

Saudis are sneaky terrorist-sponsoring goat-buggers. Iranians are just self-destructive. Self destructive? How is Iran self-destructive (beyond the inherent self-destructiveness of being an "Islamic Republic"). I see them fighting well above their weight class and frustrating US\Saudi\Isr...

Y. Kanan

Iran proxies are winning big all over Gulf, only country who are hammering their proxies nicely is Israel. Saudi seems to be fighting a losing war. What are lessons for the world? And India in particular which seems to be aligning with Saudi of-late? Ditch Wahabbism and get in bed with the Shia?

Y. Kanan

Who are the Deep State, you ask? I would say for America the Deep State is their own military industrial complex, the intelligence community (Cold Warriors), their own global energy companies, the Jew Lobby, and the Saudi lobby. These entities basically call all the shots, at least in terms of fore...

Do they have the teeth to follow through? I wonder if Gen. Vodkov and Marshal Smirnoff are willing to start another drive. W/O Russian air support the Iranians and Syrians cannot hope to smash the Turks and deter the "NATO" occupiers. Getting the Turks out of Syria will require a lot of g...

Ldev, India manufactures much more than just agricultural products and produce. It also manufactures heavy machinery, finished goods, electronics, and cars.

you, most probably, were never in SL during the heydays of the ltte but many in the forum were there on the ground and saw first hand the tender ministrations of this alleged "vellalas, pillai community, or staunch saivite sect" maniac. The LTTE wouldn't have even existed without years of...

Can you please point out who these people are? Because it sounds to me you are setting up a strawman. The MKI has 65%+ serviceability btw. Lousy "Print.in" reports apart. 65% isn't actually that bad. Even the USAF and USN (not that US is the gold standard for aircraft serviceability) stru...

Y. Kanan

Finally! Rather shameful we only had the courage to do this now, 70 years too late. Time to implement the China solution: displace the natives with good loyal citizens and in a few generations, no more Kashmir problem.

Y. Kanan

Of course, it's understood that any aircraft is going to be receiving mid-life updates as part of its normal life cycle. That is fine, but people here are talking like we won't have a real air force until we get those Rafales. Most of the pro-Rafale posts essentially dismiss the SU-30MKI fleet as in...

Y. Kanan

What the good Admiral is saying is that we went in that model and got nothing of substance that we can iteratively develop ourselves . Today, as we talk about upgrading the SU-30, those talks are with the Russians not with just DRDO & HAL. Can you imagine the Chinese talking to Russians to upgr...
