AMEN

I LOVE this South African designed vehicles. The Nyala, Mamba, Buffalo and the Husky are the product of strategic lessons learned prior and duringn the Bush War. I just love how amazing they look in the field specially the Buffalo.

Well, changes always happen through time in society, economy, politics etc..etc.. etc... if you dont beleive me just look back in history lol. The Amero... crap I would rather have the Sterling Pound or anything else rather than the Amero. Brutal idea that reinforces economic dependency brought...

Oh man, I published an article on this topic not long ago. But just to keep it short, as I mentioned in other post before the EU is trying to develop its own defence identity, and in order to do that it has to improve its capabilities for force projection. Obviously the European Quick Reaction...

And I can't blame them for that

Turkish F-16 launch the first cross border air strike to different PKK positions in Iraqi Kurdistan... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7059721.stm

Yes, Ceuta and Melilla used to be the number 1 pit, specially in the late 90s. However after some series of incidents between the Spanish authorities and assylum seekers this route has lost its priority for immigrants. At some point they even had el Tercio de Extranjeros (hmmmm I think they call...

The migrants from Central Africa usually do not stop in North Africa anymore, they just go waterbound up north from their respective countries. I know this has been specially the case with Senegalis and Nigerians. Many of them end up in drowining near the Canary Islands while others make it to...

Sorry Karl, here is the link of the article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/7058733.stm I totally assumed that I had posted it.

Meh, that seems like a normal procedure for immigration. Now, will that stop all the Africans coming to Europe in home made boats... nope. I was born and raised in Europe and something that I can tell you know is that borders are impossible to control specially for Europe. In Spain I remember...

Turkey wins Iraq backing on PKK    Turkey has said it will use military means if diplomacy fails Gordon Brown  Turkey and Iraq have agreed to work together to deal with the problem of Kurdish PKK rebels in northern Iraq. Turkish Foreign Minister Ali Babacan said Ankara would put the...

lol, Nothing more equals safety than a thrustworthy Mil Mi-8, specially the ones that were gonna be sold as scrap to ramdon African and Latin-American countries

Any sources as to where NATO gets the funding for this?  I mean, do all NATO members essentially split the cost, or? Yeah, technically all the member states have allocated funds in the IO and the operation itself so the secretariat has a budget that it can work with and maintain the operations...

One of the worst descritive inferences ever made in the print media. And I totally agree with you, since when 2 nameless soldiers represent 50% of the deployed contingent. Not cool at all.

UK 'may increase Afghan troops'  UK troops could be used to fill gaps in Nato's deployment Britain may increase its military commitment in Afghanistan to help fill gaps in Nato's deployment there, a spokesman said. James Appathurai, speaking for Nato's secretary general Jaap de Hoop...

Well, I really disagree with this regarding Europe. To start with, Europe has been slowly trying to develop their own defence identity pretty much after the Amsterdam treaty back in the nineties, however this has not accomplished their finalite politique of having a uniform approach to security...

a_majoor I could not agree with you more. What happened during the 1990s in Afghanistan clearly reflects this. The Taliban did not stop when it had total control of the Pashto speaking provinces of Afghanistan. indeed, they just had to keep expanding north into the other non-Pashto provinces of...

I could not agree more. I think Canada has gone beyond the Trudeu zeitgeist, and currently it would be contra-productive to adopt a passive and isolationist position. If we retire from our mission in Afghanistan, other NATO allies will feel extremely discouraged of maintaining their...

I really hope nobody was hurt in the incident. A couple of weeks ago 9 SANDF soldiers perished because some AAA Battery malfunctioned as well during an exercise.

Or we can have a distasteful Balkanization of Central Asia... Uzbekis, Pashto, Kirgis, Sindhis and others have a long history of not getting along and fighting lots... Pulling out draws a very nasty picture if you ask me
