He is right, the logical leap would be hilarious if not a symbol for today's journalistic standards. Let's say the IDF has positively confirmed 17% combatants. The negation of that set is not "Non combatants" but "N

Western countries that had recently used that clause to assasinate terrorists are the US, UK and France. There is no reason to believe other european countries attacked by ISIS would not do the same if needed or if capable. Regarding double

Once they declared it a terrorist organization (which is the problematic side of everything), they can claim these are unlawful combatants and do not have any of the protections of the Geneva convention, like any other war on terror assassi

I see 1990s Russia more similar to Weimar Germany, a failed democracy experiment where everyone came out from wanting something else. Regarding Germany, as opposed to 1918, defeat was not something they could escape, complete and utter dest

As an outside onlooker I can see a lot in common. Russians are essentially a european people and has a lot more in common with the EU than BRICS. Also, both are headed full-throttle towards a demographic disaster so might as well do it toge

In this kind of regimes the failed rivals usually disappear due to unnatural circumstances and the leader is surrounded by less impressive people. E.g. Stalin's successors

During World War 2 it was believed that the Germans will never change and will always be a source of conflict in europe (or worse). There were wild ideas like the Morgenthau Plan to completely dismantle any German ability to wage war. But i

It's also similar to the British DragonFire and US HELIOS I think the major difference here is that the Iron Beam is operational, as in finished trials, delivered to an armed force and actually was in active use in the previous war for

The re-edited title frames this as an anti-drone system but this was foremost developed as an anti-rocket system. Hamas and Hezbollah MO since the 1990s was based on bombing Israeli towns with statistical rockets and this system is supposed
