halil, the only side that matters is that Turkey is illegally occupying 37% of Cyprus. Fact. They are the aggressors in the region. They threaten casus belli with Greece, invade legitimate Greek airspace, try to take Greek rocks in the Aegean, bomb northern Iraq, harshly treat Kurds and Armenians, promote their military to God-like status, prosecute people that tell the truth (and in doing so "insulting Turkishness") etc. I can go on and on. You can put whatever spin on it you like, Turkey is a war-mongerer. It is a fanatically nationalistic country that occupies my island. Therefore, military action will always remain an option to remove the oppressor. I hope Turkey changes its ways before more suffer.
It makes me laugh how you can denounce war one minute, and support Turkey the next. It is in itself is a contradiction in terms! |

Mills, when it comes to "anything goes" fighting, or MMA (mixed martial arts) to be more formal, the Russian Fedor Emelianenko can beat the living crap out of anybody in the world. |
Get Real,
There's a reason Fedor can beat up anybody.
From this link, http://www.completemartialarts.com/whoswho/pride/fedor.htm
Fedor's team consists of coach Voronov (grappling), coach Michkov (boxing), coach Ruslan Nagnibeda (Muay Thai), and his training partners: Roman Zentsov, another PRIDE fighter, and, until June 2006, Fedor's brother, Aleksander Emelianenko.
In 2005 Emelianenko started paying special attention to improving his kicking technique. He trained Muay Thai with kickboxer Ernesto Hoost in Netherlands, and added a Muay Thai coach, Ruslan Nagnibeda, “Seikin-do” league 78 kg title holder from 1998 to 2002 (33-3-1) to his team. |

| The greatest and most feared military is the United States by far. No one even comes close to personnel, equipment and training. |

| I presume your post was tongue in cheek Greekgod. If not you are seriusly misguided. Equipment yes, training and personnel no. Personnel and training has been found somewhat lacking in the last decade. |

So you are prepared to put your people in danger like 1974, then complain about what others did to you when you instigated the war, typical GC mentality. |
