Iran tested their defense systems and managed to hit a lot of the targets they wanted to and showed Israel their weakness which stopped Israel and America escalating. Add to that the fact that they use a 2 million pound missile to knock out a 2000 pound drone and you begin to understand the economics behind drone warfare.

With or without Turkey Israel is in for shock of her life unless she stops her colonial activities and decides on peace.

Israel, having been spoiled with getting its way over feeble neighbors that couldn’t fight back, will soon begin to experience the exact opposite!

There is an element of irony in these and many other statements about Israel, by both of you so far, as they can equally be applied to Turkey as well.

That's why I said what I did in my first post on this thread. Both Israel and Turkey will reap what they have sowed and if Erdogan happens to have the balls to take his radical supporters to Jerusalem, well, I think he and the Turks will live to regret it.

Not arguing that Turkey is not a force to be reckoned with here, but Turkeys most recent, major direct military combat experience was with Cyprus in 1974, before then it was world war one. The Turks fancy themselves as a warrior nation but in reality, their military doctrines are mostly bravado, loss averse and their competency on the battle field is questionable. if you look at the reality, they have vast numbers and show their strength by trying to bully much smaller or weaker neighbours. Hell, I think they would seriously struggle in a war with Greece.

If it came down to a matter of invasion and occupation or survival for the Israelis in a war with Turkey, they will nuke the place.

it doesn't really matter, those Turkish drones have proven to not be that effective. They are over hyped.

They didn't help Ukraine much and the Ukrainians opted for off the shelf hobby components to build their own with modifications to carry munitions.

The cost benefit analysis for them was probably indicating this was a better option, instead of Turkish drones.

Israel also builds their own drones, didn't you know?

...I recall the other day that in the Gaza 15 paramedics were brutally executed solely because they were Palestinian.

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, also condemned the attack, raising concerns over possible “war crimes” by the Israeli military.

This is no longer possible RW, Nutenyahu is on the list to be picked up and transferred over which is why Orban exited the International Criminal Court before accepting the SwineCunt.

Welcome back.

Speaking as a non-Cypriot. Although, in my defence, I've lived here for 18 years. Not that it has anything to do with what's happening in Gaza/Ukraine.

I wondered if you might have any comment to make on GR's recent "unwritten rule" revelation and its potential war crimes implications? That being, there's a policy of murdering all Ukrainian combatants caught on Russian territory. Video evidence provided to back it up. If you like that sort of thing.

Bearing in mind that, as with Netanyahu, the buck stops at the top of course.

The Israeli strikes back

Israel has issued a warning to Turkey against establishing military bases in Syria's Palmyra region, calling it a "red line." This caution was communicated during discussions in Azerbaijan, where Israeli officials expressed concerns that any Turkish military movements in Syria would threaten Israel's security. The aim of the talks was to create a coordination mechanism to prevent direct military confrontation between the two nations. Despite these discussions, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan mentioned that Turkey's relations with Israel remain tense, mainly due to Israeli operations in Gaza and continued military actions in Syria, which Turkey has criticized.

Israel has responded with air strikes targeting various locations in Syria, including air bases and military infrastructure, as a warning against the new Islamist rule in Syria and Turkey’s military ambitions. These strikes, resulting in significant damage and casualties, have been condemned by Syria and international actors like Egypt, Jordan, and the UN as escalations and violations of sovereignty.

Turkey has explored the possibility of a joint defence pact with Syria, scrutinizing at least three air bases for potential deployment. However, Turkish statements have downplayed the credibility of non-official reports while accusing Israel of being a regional security threat. Israel, on its part, remains concerned about the Islamist presence near its borders and accuses Turkey of attempting to turn Syria into a Turkish protectorate.

Well Palmyra is exactly where Erdo was planning to settle his… well whatever he had in mind…. so it sounds like Israel accepted the inevitable!

Pretty southerly too, according to the map...

I don’t know about you Maximus but if it’s a toss between a “Turkish protectorate” and a “Greater Israel” then I think I prefer the former!

[Maximus]

Is this what you would prefer for Cyprus or are you only willing to wear the Fez because its Syria?

Bordo has warned you and his comments are coming from first hand experience, not the historical memoirs of the Ottoman empire.
