Re: Levant crisis - III
Here you go. Erdogan has now iron clad grip over turkey. He has successfuly purged every sphere of political life in Turkey by firing teachers, army officers, police journalists. EU and US, the champions of human rights, have been able to do squat. On foreign policy, EU has agreed to give loads of m...

Re: Levant crisis - III
US had to cajole turkey for months to close down 90 kms of its own side of border it had with ISIS. And Erdogan dragged his feet. Not to mention, how and from where foreign fighters were reaching ISIS and who was helping whom with arms and supplies. Now that YPG was about to cut Turkeys direct conta...

Looks like Putin is having his tubelight moment now. Although I doubt that the effect of the ego massage he got from Erdogan on top of the coffin of dead Russian pilot will wear off so soon.

Erdogan talking about expansion of Turkish military effort. In specific about Mosul.
Mosul used to be controlled by the Ottomans before the first world war.

Re: Levant crisis - III
Erdogan is not a core islamist?! He banned alcohol when he was the mayor. His speeches are laced with Islamic rhetoric.At least they used to be. He supported muslim brotherhood against Sisi in Egypt. He supports Pakistan and espouses muslim unity. US influence has gone down. But if that is the only ...

Re: Levant crisis - III
Erdogan did what he did with NATO support. But there is a catch there, the problem is whosoever is supported by US is ultimately backstabbed by them as well. The only exception to that dictum is the settler state. Without NATO support Erdogan is nothing, he is fighting for his life. Yaar, too much ...

Re: Levant crisis - III
And so I have appreciated Russian policy in both Syria and Ukraine. But the first time you call a spade a spade you become an american apologist. Erdogan doesnt give two hoots about russia or US.

Re: Levant crisis - III
Erdogan had the balls to shoot down a Russian plane. Kill a Russian serviceman. Failed to see him blasted out by macho Putin. All that macho Putin did was to claim that turkey was supporting Isis. Some sanctions etc etc. & when he went to moscow and waited for Mr. Putin in an ante-room for an h...

Re: Levant crisis - III
Kurds have stood up and fought against ISIS. Russians and Americans are bombing from air. Now that the Kurds are being attacked by Islamist big brother Erdogan, macho Putin and superpower America are looking elsewhere.

Re: Vietnam - News & Discussions
Considering the relationship between Russia and China at present, it would come as a surprise(to me). Brahmos packs some real punch and sale to Vietnam would be a game changer in South china Sea. Thanks for the updated info, guys.

Re: Levant crisis - III
So we agree on this - Turkey is supporting radical islamists/terrorists in Syria. It has also already shot down a russian plane and killed a russian man. Putin still finds it sensible to negotiate with him. Putin remembers the Soviet legacy but is willing to throw PKK and YPD under the bus despite t...

Re: Vietnam - News & Discussions
The `brahmos sale to Vietnam` rhetoric on Indian side is pure hot air.
Brahmos is a dangerous missile and Russia will veto its sale to Vietnam for sure.

Shinzo Abe is working to improve relations with Russia.
Japan has created a new ministry to focus on improving ties with Russia.
Abe also proposed an annual summit meeting in Vladivostok.
In fact Putin and Abe have met 13 times in last 3 years.

Re: Levant crisis - III
Putin was supposed to be that strong, no nonsense leader of new Russia.
Can someone explain to me his pussyfooting in Syria. Erdogan shot down one of his plane, killed one of his man. And here he is happy at a little ego massage and given a green signal to Turkey to enter Syria and attack PKK.
