It is about time for the Syrian government to launch an aerial operation to deliver aid to opposition-held areas in the northern region. If they are not willing to coordinate on the ground we should drop aid from the air. The Syrian Air Force has the means to deliver aid via air, and friendly nations, including Russia, the UAE, Oman, Jordan, Egypt and even Iran and Iraq will likely help.

There is nothing for the West in Syria, and there is nothing for Syria in the West, it was always like this, and will always be! Syria's biggest mistake after the collapse of the Soviet Union was to think that it could find a place itself near the West.

What Russia did to Ukraine today is just a slow day in any Western-backed Israeli operation in Gaza or Lebanon... Spare us the morals, hypocrites... During the 2006 Israeli war on Lebanon, everyday parks, bridges, power stations, civilian airports, ports, water stations and residential buildings were hit... every single day, no one in the entire West gave an F...

The Rings of Power's Galadriel is without a shred of doubt, the worst character in the history of cinema and television... I'v never seen, a character that is this badly written and acted... Watching a single one of here scene is more enough to pray to God that Sauron wins.. I believe that the only thing that could possibly save the Rings of Power is for an orc to eat the face of Galadriel, this is how bad the character is...

SEAD -Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses- operations requires much creativity, we'v seen this with Israel and more recently with Azerbaijani. Russia needs to get creative to take out what remained of Ukraine's long-range air-defense systems. Russia could equip available long-endurance aircrafts like the Il-18 with simple ELINT systems like the PRGS-L-150 and arm them with Kh-58 anti-radar missiles and send them on lengthy patrols just outside the range of Ukraine's remaining S-300 systems.

It is not fair game because the US allow it, it is fair game because Russia is not responding as it should ... If Russia start responding as it should, those in charge in Ukraine wont even dare to talk about targeting Crimea or any other Russian area ... What happened in Crimea today may have been very much just an accident, it could be just that. But does it really matter when no one will believe this?

Erdogan’s statement about a possible drone deal with Russia is not surprising. While Russia could gain much in technology wise from such a deal, it is guaranteed to gain more in politics. See, Russia did this before with Israel. Image During the 2008 Georgian war, Israel’s IAI Searcher drones were one of the most useful systems in the hands of the Georgian military. What was Russia’s response, it moved to acquire the drone from Israel and later even began to produce it locally.

As evident by Iran's inability to produce drones due to the sanctions imposed against it ... Oh wait, actually Iran ramped up its drone production after sanctions ... Even developed better drones ... Actually, Iran is literally exporting drones now ... Likely more than the UK ...

Ukrainian troops are highly-motivated. However, as we learned from Syria, you can break the will of a highly-motivated enemy ... You just have to following a three point military strategy ... Besiege, Bomb and Persist. You need to make sure that your enemy understand that there is no way around this strategy ... You will always besiege it, you will always bomb it and you will keep attacking ... When you do this, you lock up your enemy in a mental cycle in which there is no good outcome for it.

No, Ukraine will not be the next Afghanistan. An insurgency there is doomed to fail if Russia takes full control of the country. Image 1-Easy to close: It will not be hard for Russia to secure Ukraine border, especially with Poland. Afghanistan had long, rough, mountainous border with several key foes of the Soviets. It was impossible for the Soviet to secure these borders.
