Comments by "William Davis" (@williamdavis9562) on "Binkov's Battlegrounds" channel.

  1. Binkov's war scenario was finally tested in the Karabakh war. It was then we realized his videos are entertaining but far from reality. Don't worry Binkov I'll still watch your videos for entertainment purposes.

  2. @Hypersp3ce596. I remember following their drone development. The hate was the same with most people saying these things would either crash or get lost. Humble pie I guess.
    245
  3.  @GeneralKatarn  A fleet of drones do not cost the same as a fleet of manned planes nor do they serve the same purpose. If they did, no one would bother building drones. Also no one claimed anyone was on any scale with anyone over anything. This argument is so strawman that it's cringe. Try debating what was actually said, instead of what you imagined was said.

  4.  @themax9913  If this were the case a French warship in the Aegean wouldn't have been completely locked out of it's own systems with it's captain pleading for help on the radio. Forced to leave the area with it's tail tucked between it's legs. I'm thinking you're overestimating French electronic warfare capabilities and underestimating what the Turks seem to have. Just sayin...

  5.  @themax9913  You might want to continue to do more research. As far as bias, it's fairly obvious which one of us is triggered. I don't have a dog in this race, you obviously do. So again, do proper research before mouthing off insanity. This is a public forum after all, someone will call you out.

  6. He literally mentioned Israel when talking about the most capable militaries. A military which had trouble defeating a bunch of guys in sandals stuck in a concentration camp using homemade weapons made in their basements. Had so much trouble with them that they had to resort to going after unarmed women and children. Binkov goes full ret@rd once again. Reminding me of his analysis of Nagorno Karabakh and then that war actually happen. Nothing Binkov said would happen happened lol

  7.  @LexlutherVII  For a vast majority of the history of human civilization China has been wealthier and more powerful than Europe. Europe has only been powerful for a very small stretch between the 1500s-1900s. Like you said "look at history."
    11
  8.  @alexander66sir  You seem pretty sure the Koral system was in that area at that time. Which is great, I'd like to know if that's true as well. Can you please share with me the irrefutable proof you seem to have so I can also share your assessment on the issue?

  9. The idea of Ukraine retaking Crimea is ridiculous beyond the scope of anyone's imagination. Russia will unfortunately start ww3 before letting Crimea go. They feel (rightly or wrongly) that Crimea is a matter of life and death for their state.
    10
  10. The EU wouldn’t be able to fight itself out of a paper bag right now. Be realistic. They need the American safety net

  11.  @Shadowfalls89  Constantly invading your neighbors because Winnie the Pooh says so implies that they've been invading their neighbors left and right. Which is obviously bullsh!t. If the atrocity at Tianamen Square perfectly embodies the essence of their government, are we to assume that Canada oppressing, robbing and committing crimes against the Trucker protestors embodies the essence of the Beijing Regime? Or America's invasion of Iraq, Afghanistan and it's destruction of Libya and Syria embodies the essence of the regime in Washington? I'd imagine you wouldn't go there, because you'd have to be intellectually consistent to do so. I'm no fan of the Chinese nor would I under normal circumstances defend them. But comments like yours are highly irrational and highly problematic and stick of a misplaced superiority complex coupled with doses of some nasty racism.

  12. @Hunter&Gatherer, if you actually ask the original inhabitants of Crimea they probably dont' want to be under Russian or Ukrainian occupation. The Crimean Tatars have had it rough with Ukraine and Russian colonial settlers for hundreds of years. In a perfect world there wouldn't be any Russians or Ukrainians on that strip of land.
    7
  13. You're so right, Greece is so much more powerful than it's neighbors that it feels the need to have it's prime minister begging at the doorstep of every European capital for help.
    7
  14.  @n5304  considering how efficiently and cheaply they're able to produce so many systems. It won't even really matter that their econ is in shambles. Hell the greatest strides they've recently made was during times of economic crisis. So the economy argument isn't a really good one. The real question is more complex. If they're able to do what they've done with an economy in shambles and a shoestring budget. What happens if they get their economy together and throw more money into that efficiency? Then what?
    7
  15.  @tritium1998 You said "They can't even make simpler technology" What does that even mean? Is it your contention that they can then make technology which is not simple? Either English is not your native language or you have the communication skills of a goat. Which is it?

  16. I see Binkov drinking that Kool-aid again.
    7
  17. People made fun of their drones too. Until they started asking to buy them.

  18. Learn to read between the lines. What they really mean is "we hope it won't be ready anytime soon."

  19. 120 years ago yes. Today? It seems like western Europe is the sick man of Europe no? But then again are we even allowed to say sick "man" anymore here in the west. Should it then be the sick (insert one of the 10000s genders we have today)

  20. Any system can be captured in a war. What is your point? Do you think a tank which cannot be captured exists?
    6
  21.  @code2700  Someone doesn't need to be Turkish to look at the situation rationally. The advances you guys have made in the military tech field in the past decade are nothing short of shocking. The only people who wouldn't agree with this are either overly emotional people who know nothing or people suffering from massive cognitive dissonance. I'm not sure how much this military tech industry is going to help your country though. In 100 years your country is going to collapse no matter what you do. You know why? Because you have an enemy no military tech can defeat. Genetic damage from inbreeding. The small segments of your society who inbreed have been inbreeding so out of control in the past 50 years that 100 years from now you're most likely going to have a highly genetically damaged, emotionally unstable low IQ population. So yea, build all the best planes and military tech you can. But you also have to stop people from having sex with their cousins. That is your biggest threat lol

  22. @andymage7179. You could make a case for that but not with this conflict. They're the ones who are constantly being attacked, having their homes stolen, their children slaughtered and the survivors stuck into concentration camps.
    5
  23. So you think god wants an apartheid state which sticks humans into concentration camps to survive? I mean couldn't he find a better way to bring the King back, without involving some of the most evil things humans do to each other? It is interesting.

  24. @SoloWolf1000 Yes Taiwan is armed to the teeth and defending an island is a lot easier than defending a land invasion.
    5
  25.  @assassin_rk42  The comment was not only true, it is demonstrably true. You underestimate how much our reputation has been ruined in the global south. Only a person who doesn't know much about what is going on would claim such a true statement to be dumb.
    5
  26. Don't say Nato. Just say Turkey and America. As every other Nato nation's military capability is a joke. Maybe you can add Poland to the list of nations with a military capable of fighting a large scale war. Maybe..
    5
  27.  @metehangokturk9696  he is referring to the childish rants in the comments section from people who for one reason or another seem to be triggered the Turks are attempting to build such things.

  28. Do you know what superpower means and what it entails? No Turkey is not a superpower, In fact it isn't even attempting to become one. There is a difference between being the dominate power in your region and a global superpower.

  29. I guess all those questions are going to be answered once this thing is operational. You seem rather optimistic it won't be good. I have a sneaking suspicion your optimism will wane.

  30. We didn't seem to care about human rights records of nations like Saudi Arabia and the UAE when selling them the planes. Congress isn't interested in human rights when it comes to the sale of the plane. If for one reason or another they don't want you to have the plane, they will use human rights as the excuse. That is how it works. There is no way Indonesia has a human rights record even close to as bad as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates or Israel. Congress simply feels it isn't in their strategic interests for you to have that plane.
    4
  31. COnsidering the lack of Ammo it isn't that insane. Aside from Turkey and America. There is nothing insane about Nato's airpower. Yes England and France have high end planes. But they don't have the logistics to keep them flying, no enough pilots and barely any ammunition.
    4
  32. I'm unware of what happened with the Swiss and the F-35. Would you mind giving a quick recap of it?

  33.  @quantuman100  If the bullets started flying the US navy would have serious trouble getting too close to the Chinese mainland. Mind you rolling up with your aircraft carries on a nation with the capability to launch 1000s of missiles at it every 20 minutes isn't a risk most nations would take. Out in the open seas yes the US navy would curb stomp the Chinese. But so close to Chinese shores? They'd get curb stomped. They're pretty open about admitting this as well.

  34.  @Sam_Guevenne  apparently the guy who made the comment does. So yea, someone does care.

  35.  @capella95  Imagine making irrational claims like this just because someone pointed out a fact which is extremely relevant to the conversation at hand. Remember Facts>Your feelings.

  36.  @samedmundson6470  That's a pretty weak way to prove your point.

  37.  @dondelchulia3189  How childish was that comment bro? lol

  38. How trained are they? How willing to fight are they? How much experience do they have? Do they have enough ammunition? They’d get wrecked and their leaders know it

  39. @davidecapannelli6681 Modern SAMS weren't made to deal with drones. Which is why those cheap drones get through those networks. Still doesn't change the fact modern aircraft can't penetrate. Also those drones weren't some makeshift drones made in a basement. Most of them were highly advanced Turkish drone tech. They kind of specialize in cheap yet highly effective drone warfare. One might say they're the best at it right now. Still doesn't change the fact you're not getting modern aircraft over Russian skies.

  40.  @kuvikina  In reality Russia is the enemy of most ethnic groups in that entire region.

  41.  @maerto  If that region had any sense of democracy Crimea wouldn't be part of Ukraine or Russia. It would be it's own state.
    3
  42. I remember people saying the same thing about their drone program when it first started. How'd that one age John? This isn't really analysis based on any rational thought, it's mostly an emotional plea on what you want to be true. I hope you don't apply this sad strategy of making sense of the world on all other aspects of life.

  43. @Aggelos4460, if this were the case the Greek government wouldn't be bending over backwards to get French support. Apparently you don't agree with your government's assessment of the situation

  44. Iran? Seriously?
    3
  45.  @ahmetfurkan9462  Iran's drone tech isn't on par with Turkey's but don't sleep on Iranian drones. They're quite useful. Which is why Russia is buying them. Don't sleep on those Persians.

  46. I'd imagine it's a lot like the wheel. Certain shapes work and people stick with it.

  47. AA good ol Binkov. Very entertaining channel, I'll always watch it. Dont' take it very seriously though. He actually did a video once about a hypothetical conflict. Then that conflict actually happened. Binkov was sooooo far off how it actually played out. This might be another one of those instances.

  48.  @patienceisalpha  Interesting, thanks for the information.
    3
  49.  @howdareu964  If Ukraine gives the Russian military a bloody nose or worse it will be a huge blow to Russia's prestige worldwide. Once smaller nations get a playbook on how to fight back against the bear, how much influence will the bear be able to put on all these nations? It's going to be interesting how this all plays out.

  50.  @anlfrat8411  This is true. The sick man is now out of bed. The people calling him the sick man are now the ones who are ready to fall into bed.

  51.  @thinkbeforeleap  But racially those people are Chinese. So you're going to call them racist for stating an obvious fact? Would you be racist for calling an ethnic German an ethnic German? Your comments are really strange.
    3
  52.  @thinkbeforeleap  You might want to look at international law. You also might want to look at the legal status of Taiwan before making insane claims like they're an "immigrant nation" like America or Canada. Do you actually know anything about the history of Taiwan and how it became Taiwan? The fact Taiwan is humane and China isn't has absolutely nothing to do with the history of Taiwan and how it relates to what Taiwan is as it pertains to international law. What is an insult is how you completely and utterly throw reason and logic out of the window in favor of emotional arguments. An intolerable insult to rational adults and how they should debate.
    3
  53. @Helmut Helmut Did you really with a straight face try to put Chinese foreign policy on par with American or Russian foreign policy over the past 100 years and the amount of damage they've done? I'm sure they've done horrible things but to even think it's anywhere near the level of destruction caused by America and Russia is nothing short of insanity.
    3
  54.  @malachi5813  Russia actually stepped in and stepped in and saved the Armenian army which was surrounded and about to be slaughtered. Not to mention Russia stopped the Azeris from marching into Yerevan. You want us to believe they helped the Azeris in the war? lol Also the Azeris fought a high tech war. You think a bunch of jihadists came in and operated their million dollar drones? Think through the insanity of what you are saying. Not to mention the question of why Sunni jihadists would fight for a Shia country whose leadership is secular. If you’re going to believe in fanciful stories, at least find ones which are half believable bro 😂😂

  55. Actually most of the trolls here aren't Greek. Believe it or not they're Indian. lol (God knows why)

  56.  @alexander66sir  Why would I need to provide proof of something I never claimed? I wasn't the one who mentioned Libya or the Turkish Airbase being attacked by Rafale jets, you did. You basically just scuttled your entire point.
    3
  57.  @aycasonerci6048  All of Armenia's weapons were Russian. All the weapons funneled into Armenia during the war were from Russia and were mostly likely free of charge. Russia stepped in and forced a ceasefire right when the entire Armenian army was surrounded and about to get destroyed. So yes, Russia did help Armenia.
    3
  58.  @dmitrishufutinsky2251  You're going to tell us that a few special forces and a few hundred untrained Syrian rebels turned the tide of the entire war? What have you been smoking and where can I get some of that?

  59.  @thetrist333  I'd imagine the Greeks also remember what happened the last time they tried to conquer Anatolia.

  60. When you do a price to performance ratio they are better. I'd rather have 30 Turkish drones than one American. Yes 1 American drone is better than 1 Turkish drone but when you look at the price difference the equation changes.

  61.  @tylerclayton6081  Not sure what Turkey being poor and having 80% inflation has anything to do with the OP merely debating what the country should or should be called. Is it your contention that you must have X inflation rate and X GDP to have the right to choose your own name? Is that your argument here?

  63. Furkan said Kaan definitely not a ruler. Next sentence "originally based on Turkic word meaning "ruler." 🤣🤣🤣

  64.  @awalk5177  You'd need to understand the foreign policy of the Turks to realize that them joining Russia is a pipe dream. If Nato went all in, yes Turkey would probably drop out of Nato. You're right about that. But they won't join Russia either. Their aim as per usual will probably be to try to remain neutral for as long as possible. Also India won't support Russia in any sort of conflict. What India will do is do business with Russia if it is to their benefit. The Indians are quite open about the fact they don't believe in alliances. As far as China and Iran you're 100% right. in a huge world war they will certainly join Russia. Because they know if Russia loses they are next.

  65.  @yasin61  Yasin, that is simply not true. Places like Kayseri, Konya and Giresun have inbreeding rates well over 50%. Next time you meet someone from cities like this, ask them. You'll be shocked. Considering the type of comment you made I'd have to assume you live on the west coast of Turkey. Do you have any idea what is going on in the rest of the country? The percentage of people inbreeding in Turkey was quite low 100 years ago. The problem is those segments who do inbreed also happen to be the segments of your society which are popping out 5 kids. The segments which don't inbred have birthrates below replacement level (2.1) You can see where this is headed. In fact it might be too late to stop. Bringing in 5 million refugees who themselves have a nasty habit of inbreeding is going to throw fuel on the fire.

  71. Can Iran save Syria from the Turkish army? Short answer: Highly unlikely.
    2
  72. @Petros Petridis, in the long term that is probably how it will play out. I can forsee this turning into another Cyprus type situation for the Greeks. It would make sense for them to negotiate now and get half instead of risking it and losing it all. You know how the international community is, if it suits their interests they'll turn a blind eye.

  74.  @xforestx00  The reality of any situation is still important to some people. Although such people are few and far between these days. They prefer emotions and simple to understand narratives to navigate the world. I'd imagine you have more than your fair share of irrational people in your country as well. It's a terrible disease of the mind most humans seem to have.
    2
  75. Actually Israel hasn't crossed that line yet, they're still bombing Gaza they haven't gone in yet. Also the last time they made this same threat in 2006, Israel did go into Gaza and Hezbollah actually made good on their threat 2 weeks after Israel moved into Gaza. SO if history tell us anything, they're likely to do it again. Except this time they're a lot more powerful than they were in 2006. Which is why Israel is quite nervous and why we sent two aircraft carriers into the region "just incase." I get you have a narrative in your head about how things play out but the reality on the ground is quite different.

  77.  @ایرانبان-ظ3س  The people in Turkey also aren't Altaic. They're mostly indigenous Anatolians who've adopted a Turkic language and culture. It's amazing how a small handful of Turkic tribes can ride into highly populated areas like Anatolia, Iran and the greater middle east and completely take over.

  78. This is true, I don't even think China would attempt such a thing. You know what else is really hard? For an island to survive if it's blockaided.

  82. @ they don’t need to get better. This isn’t about how strong Russia is. It is more about how weak the EU is. Russia has a weak but functioning military. The EU does not have a functioning military. He’ll most eu nations have enough ammunition to fight for about 3 days. Poland is the only eu nation with a combat ready military Then there is Turkey in nato which has a highly combat ready military but they won’t step in for the EU. all in all without America the EU is in a wheelchair

  83.  @aDeidaraBoom  They're playing a dangerous game, hoping the great powers will continue to support them. Not realizing there is one constant in international politics. Change. That support might dry up, you know what won't dry up? Your angry neighbor who you've been poking in the eye.

  84. @Sam Ty, It would make sense for Russia to drive a wedge between America and Turkey. Why would they expend their time, energy and resources to drive a wedge between Turkey and Greece? How exactly would Turkey being close to or far away from a nation as weak as Greece help them?

  87.  @DarkFox2232  Actually Israel does control the west bank which is a Palestinian territory, so your statement is false, demonstrably false.

Your young men are too busy trying to figure out which of the 800 different genders they belong to, not sure they're up to fighting a war. Then you have eastern European nations which cultural marxism hasn't destroyed but these nations lack proper military infrastructure and technology. Unless America steps in and handles this for Europe, it simply isn't going to happen.

  105.  @oryan4395  Great Britian burning down Washington D.C. is a lot more likely than Greece reclaiming Constantinople making the analogy weak. For historical precedent I should have said something more along the lines of Holland reclaims New York City. Or Mongolia reclaims Moscow. lol

  119.  @markobakovic627  I didn't realize we were debating that specific thing. 1. Turkey's involvement in Northern Syria has been terrible. They essentially teamed up with America and Saudi Arabia to destroy that country. I condemn their Syria policy and have been for years. 2. The fact they're supporting ISIS is fake news, they've actually killed more ISIS members than the United States. It's interesting what people do, they take one truth and try to sneak in a lie. Either way I'm not sure what that has to do with us debating drones. I've seen this type of debating before, this emotionally charged zero reason and logic form of debate. I've seen it from Turks themselves and I've seen it to a larger extent from overly emotional and irrational people from the Balkans.

  120.  @kingt9922  I have yet to see a military anywhere in the world fight with "only drones." Drone tech isn't advanced enough to have a full on army of robots (yet). But if coupled with a proper military strategy and proper military hardware. Drones can surely turn the tide of any battle. Which is why every country is falling over themselves to get their hands on drones. We're almost at a point where without drones, you just can't win.

  121.  @kingt9922  Look bro, I'm a huge Trump support but what you're saying is insanity. I don't think you actually understand the relationships and the geopolitics involved between us and the Turks to be making a statement like that. Trump inherited a god awful mess as it pertains to the relationship between America and Turkey thanks to Obama. After a lot of saber rattling between Trump and the Turks, Trump eventually found a way to find a way to still keep them in our orbit of influence. No not by putting them 50 years, that is what Obama tried it and blew up in his face. He did it by doing the opposite of what you think he would do now. He gave them space to grow but did it in a way where they weren't growing into a place that would work against our interests. Biden came into office and immediately went back to the Obama policy against them which simply isn't working. It isn't slowing them down and it's slowly turning them into a foe. Which is stupidity on a level that American statements from yesteryear are probably turning in their graves over. Trump on an intuitive level knew which nations to push to get what he wants and which nations to stop pushing to get what he wanted. The foreign policy establishment is back in charge now and they don't seem to have that level of finesse. Everything with them is a sledge hammer and it isn't working. They claimed the adults were back in the room but the reality is the children who like to break things and throw temper tantrums as the room burns are back in charge. The way things are going this really isn't going to end well for us.

They feel (rightly or wrongly) that controlling Crimea is a life and death situation for their nation. Short of starting WW3 with nukes there really isn't anyway to take it from them. All in all the original inhabitants of Crimea will suffer as they've been suffering under occupation for like 200 years now. :O(

  127.  @atakansakarya5795  They were very minimal only military oriented sanctions. Not economic sanctions. Economic sanctions would completely destroy Turkey. Mostly because Turkeyis one of the most dollarized economies in the world. You guys love your imports too much and your public loves the dollar too much. This is what makes you vunerable to such sanctions. I've spent a lot of time in your country and people there won't even buy clothes unless it has a western name on it. Even Turkish companies making good clothes are forced to use westernized names just to sell their product. The level of inferiority complex was a terrifying thing to see.

  132. @E He, the issue isn't about Ukraine wanting them or not wanting them. Turkey is walking a tightrope policy between Russia and the west. They were able to send those drones to Ukraine without Russia freaking out under the pretext the Ukrainians ordered the drones before the war and the contract had to be honored. After those prewar orders were filled (some after the war started) Turkey really couldn't find an excuse to send more. Ukraine kept asking for them but Turkey was unable to deliver. The only loophole they found was a third nation buying them and "donating" it to Ukraine. As you see, it's a complex situation for all sides involved. Russia was obviously hot skipping mad at the amount of damage those 2 batches of drones (ordered pre war) did to their military.

  135. @Stratos Joebar. You're absolutely right about Turkey having taken on completely unorganized weak opponents. If they end up taking on Greece it will simply be another unorganized weak nation they'll probably steamroll if Greece doesn't get help. The Turkish military is weak compared to real powers to America and China but compared to banana publics like Greece they would look strong as all hell. It's like being a normal speed guy and joining a race in the special olympics. Obviously you're going to win.

  138. Those drones are meant to be shot down you genius. The point of them is for them to do a lot more damage in dollars than what they're worth. They did that, they cost Ukraine peanuts yet they blew up billions of dollars of Russian tech. If they weren't that useful answer 2 questions for me. 1. Why does Ukraine want more 2. Why is Russia putting so much pressure on Turkey not to send more? Seriously do people not even think at even a basic level before leaving a comment with that many holes in it?

  139.  @BrokenMetalHeart  Egypt bro? Seriously? Their "huge" military is nothing but a business scam for the elites to extra the nation's wealth. Their soldiers spend more time selling vegetables than training for war. Why do you think when they tried to send aid and Israel threatened to bomb their buses they said nothing. Hell an Israeli tank shell hit one of their military bases last week and they didn't even complain. Yes Egypt has a large army but it is operationally inept. They would only join the war if other nations went in first and it looked like Israel was going to lose. Then they'd go in. They'd never be the first in, they're not stupid. Sisi knows the limits of his military's operational capabilities. Hell they were even scared to intervene in Libya because Turkey had a few drones and a few special forces there. But as much as their fear Israel, perhaps they're also not aware that Israel's military has essentially rotted away these last 20 years as well. Not as bad as Egypt but it isn't an effective fighting force either. Essentially 2/3s with untrained reservists from the Tiktok generation. If any real army showed up in that region all these nations would get wrecked.

  140. @Poil8351. Russia: Doesn't have enough troops in Syria to mount any sort of offensive on anyone. Nor are they interested in pulling troops out of Ukraine to send there right now. A Russia which wasn't entangled in Ukraine would pose a huge problem right now, but that isn't the case. Saudi Arabia: Very rich country which is influential with it's money in times of peace. Is an irrelevant country in times of war as it has a completely inept military. They'll basically just watch this entire thing with their popcorn and hope it doesn't spread to them. Turkey: You're right Turkey would be outright the biggest concern. Because if they ever decided to mobilize, it's GGs for everyone. They'd mobilize 2 million men within a month armed with the latest gadgets and a battle hardened core, march south and wreck anyone and anything in their path. Nothing in the region would come close to even slowing them down and even what we the US have in the region wouldn't be nearly enough to stop them. By the time we mobilized enough to stop them, it would be too late as they'd be sitting in Gaza having tea with Hamas. Col. Macgregor had a nice podcast explaining why this would be the case. But this shouldn't be a concern because they have ZERO interest in doing such a thing. Even if their government wanted to (which they don't) their internal political dynamics wouldn't allow it. It's an empty fear. Yemen: The types of crude rockets they're carrying can't even reach Israel. Israel's biggest threat is Hezbollah moving in from the North if they get bogged down in in Gaza. If Hezbollah have any sort of success the fear is other nations like Syria, Iraq and Egypt actually growing a pair and joining in. At this point we're looking at WW3.

They still have a lot more territory to cover to catch up to France as far as authoritarianism. In France you can be fined or jailed for having "the wrong opinion" about historical events. How can anyone with a straight face claim this nation should be held as the standard for freedom? That is insane.

    1
  178.  @diegoc.8518  Regardless of how you personally feel about a topic, anytime you have a law which criminalizes an opinion, your country no longer has freedom of expression. This basically opens the door for the regime to essentially say "Your opinion is okay as long as you have the opinion we like." Not to mention the memory laws in France forcing schools to teach French colonialism in a certain way. Imagine being a professor and having the courage to teach the truth about the Algerian genocide? Then what? Does that teacher get a fine? Fired? Jail time? Fact of the matter is France doesn't really care about freedom of expression. It only pretends to care about it when an opinion which the regime wants expressed is expressed. So don't kid yourselves or live in a fantasy world where you believe freedom of expression is important to France. It's not.

Also I find your premise on why Greece "deserves" US support rather interesting. So if Greece deserves support because there are three million Greeks in America, according to your logic the US should support China even more because of the 5 million plus Chinese Americans living here? What kind of insanity are you expecting people to believe?

  189.  @tackytrooper  I do agree that the home front may have hampered the war but if you think our troops were anything close to as motivated as the Vietnamese I don't know what to tell you. The idea was to finish them off early, the military had plenty of time to get that done before the "home front" became an issue. They simply couldn't get it done. No knock on the military either because when you're dealing with a geography like that with a HIGHLY motivated enemy it's a tall ask. The hubris by the politicians to think it could be done easily and quickly is the crazy part.

I can't really say the same for the Greeks, I remember watching a special about their Cyprus invasion and how the Greeks didn't even attempt to fight back, they packed up and ran for the hills. I would love to see another emotional outburst from you after that. Speaking of Germans, are the Germans paying for your internet with all the free Euros they have to send you?

You obviously have zero interest in reason, logic, facts or the truth. Only your emotional view of how things work and the extent you'll go through to defend that emotional point of view. Doesn't change the fact you're flat out wrong, the fact you're not even able to debate the issue properly should give you a clue as to how wrong you are.

Extrapolate your logic to the rest of the world for a second and see how that works out. 90% of the world should be in a concentration camp?

  223. @John Macdonald, I don't think that was the reason for why so many terrorists were sent into Syria to destroy that country. But now that it's well underway it is being used as a weapons testing ground. The idea was to topple Assad quickly and install a puppet government, obviously it didn't work out that way. I'm no fan of Russia but what they did in Syria was one of the few times they weren't the bad guys.

What makes you think your great grandfather dying in a war does anything to further your point other than an obvious emotional plea making this debate nothing but a childish exercise in futility? Yes your grandfather may have died in the war but a lot more French men didn't fight and simply surrendered while everyone else had to actually fight the Nazis. Don't forget you'd be having this conversation in German right now if it weren't for brave men from other nations.

Some dark Arab looking dude with one eyebrow claiming to be a Turkic horsemen from central Asia. It's quite humorous. Just because someone conquered your weak great great great grandfather, whipped him and forced them into speaking their language doesn't make you from that ethnic group.

  275. @@duffelbagdrag This isn't the 1990s. Defending carriers isn't as easy as it used to be. Our policy makers are under the assumption no one would dare attack them, so they sit there. But if people were motivated enough to take them out, they'd make a real go of it. If Russian launched a ton of Kinzal hypersonic missiles right now, it would be GG for that aircraft carrier. If Turkey send a swarm of the 100,000 drone force they have, GGS for the carrier. That task force doesn't have 100,000 missiles to shoot them all down. But Washington is calculating that none of these two things will happen and I agree with their analysis. Russia wouldn't want to start ww3 over this and Turkey has zero interest in sinking America's carriers. But to sit there and assume that strike force could defend against "anything" is delusional. Col. Mcgregor had a very nice podcast about that btw.
