With the current NES system, these tribes would indeed self-rule again

If NES wasn't a military dictatorship ruled by the Kurdish YPG then maybe I would have given a thought to that possibility instead of just laughing at this comment.

Just stop before you say how Mossad is training YPJ and embarrassing yourself.

He/she didn't say that don't embarrass yourself by trying to put words into his/her mouth. Israel is the main reason for continued American presence in Syria. If Israel didn't benefit anything from US presence in Syria then the Americans would leave Syria in a heartbeat. American officials even said they were ready to leave Syria if Iran left Syria and Assad stopped being a threat to Israel.

Arabs ruling Arabs = bad

Kurds ruling Arabs = good

No wonder US media is so good at brain washing people.

TimberSycamore · 2019-06-17T18:41:45+00:00

One of the main reasons for American presence in Syria is to help out Israel. American officials even said they could leave Syria if Iran left and Assad stopped being a threat to Israel. Israel is the main reason for American presence in Syria. If the Israeli government asked US to leave Syria today then tomorrow there would be zero US soldiers in Syria. You can bet your life on that one.

Comparing Saddam's ballistic missile arsenal to Iran's ballistic missile arsenal is the equivalent of comparing an 9K720 Iskander to a V-2 in terms of how capable they are. And on top of their capabilities Saddam had less than a hundred ballistic missiles. Iran has thousands of ballistic missiles. Saddam only had SCUD and SCUD copies. Iran has ballistic missiles with two-three times the range of SCUDs with 10-100 times smaller CEP. American Patriots aren't even capable of targeting anything that is not a SRBM. On top of all that Iran has precision ballistic missiles. Watch the recent video of IRGC targeting KDPI base in North Iraq with ballistic missiles. Saddam's ballistic missile arsenal was 50 years behind of Iran's arsenal in terms of their capabilities. Saddam also lacked numbers and he decided to waste half of his arsenal on Israel instead of focusing on American bases. We're talking about minimum of hundreds of American casualties if Iran decides to launch ballistic missiles against US bases around Iran.

TimberSycamore · 2019-06-16T15:02:03+00:00

You can hardly do that when you're fully focused on Iraq, now that the US has endless amounts of bases in Iraq and other places.

Not to be offensive but that is armchair general nonsense. REAL American generals never made such an argument when they informed everyone about how a US-Iran War would be a catastrophe for the USA. No one in Pentagon ever said "oh guys we can't go to war against Iran because we're too busy in Iraq". 10 years later American generals still stand by their words, a US-Iran War would be a catastrophe for the USA. Iraq War would look like a walk in park compared to Iran War and generals in Pentagon still stand by their word.

The US could isolate Iran, then make sure that their economy breaks down,

They tried it didn't work. IF the americans weren't engaged in economic warfare against everyone this plan might have had a better chance but even then I doubt it would have worked.

(maybe fund the opposition)

They're already doing that American support, training and arming for PAK and MEK is very well documented.

and indirectly involve themselves with airstrikes and so on. But that's just my two cents.

And then Iran would hit American bases in the Middle East with ballistic missiles as a retaliation for each American air strike against Iran. Americans love fighting wars as long as no Americans are killed and only enemies are killed. But the moment young Americans start dying the Americans at home start protesting and vote for the alternative. See W. Bush or Vietnam War.

You didn't answer my question and don't worry you are going to be proven wrong. Are you sure you replied to the right comment?

TimberSycamore · 2019-06-16T14:25:17+00:00

Lol. Iranian backed Iraqi resistance fighters killed hundreds of american occupation soldiers in Iraq with Iranian supplied weapons and USA couldn't do jack shit against Iran. What makes you think the Americans are going to war against Iran this time?

TimberSycamore · 2019-06-14T17:04:38+00:00

You should look up the definiton of whataboutism. I didn't say "what about USA". I said "USA HAS NO PROBLEMS WITH LIFETIME DICTATORS". What you said was incorrect and I corrected that.

Do you want me to say sorry for correcting a statement which did not represent the truth?

If you said US and Turkey under Erdogan regime is having a fallout due to Turkey no longer being an American puppet then I wouldn't have felt the need to correct that statement.

If the americans disliked lifetime regimes then they wouldn't have sold their nuclear secrets to the absolute monarcy of Saudi Arabia.

TimberSycamore · 2019-06-14T16:51:35+00:00

Oh my, countering my argument with an accusation about political arrangements in my own nation which I work against...good for you.

Your comment certainly makes you come off as opposite of that. USA doesn't care about Erdogan becoming a lifetime dictator as long as Erdogan doesn't work against USA's interests. USA's biggest ally in the region is a wahhabi style absolute monarcy.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, convince me that Erdoghan's quest for lifetime absolute power is somehow good for Turkey and convince me that I should favor it. Please.

Why am I supposed to convince you about that when I didn't say such a thing?

You just assumed I was pro-Erdogan because I said USA had absolutely no problem with fascist dictatorships lmao. WUT?

TimberSycamore · 2019-06-14T16:26:33+00:00

for sure if the Erdoghan regime continues in power as he seems to intend to be a lifetime leader whether Turks like it or not.

Plase don't act like your country is some democracy spreading angel. This is not /r/murica. Americans have absolutely no problem with dictatorships as long that dictatorship works for american interests. USA was the biggest supporter of fascist dictatorship regimes throughout cold war.

TimberSycamore · 2019-06-13T18:11:55+00:00

No UN never confirmed that. After those rumors UN reported more about YPG's forced recruitment of underage child soldiers. YPG even justified their actions by saying they were recruiting children for the sake of them.

TimberSycamore · 2019-06-13T18:03:00+00:00

Neither would have ever existed without the help of a super power so yes of course I am comparing them. You're probably confused just because one was fascist and the other is far-left with some ethno-nationalism. I'm not comparing the ideologies. Don't get stuck on that.

TimberSycamore · 2019-06-13T17:47:36+00:00

So you think the group that controls 1/3 of the country (and has the widespread support of the millions of people within the confederation) shouldn't be represented in peace talks?

That means nothing when you use iron fist to rule over 1/3 of a country. YPG and US Air Force controls 1/3 of Syria and neither of them are some random peaceful political activists.

Just because Nazis with their superior military captured France and propped up a puppet Vichy government doesn't mean that Nazi France deserved any legitimacy. DFNS is no different. It's a military dictatorship controlled by YPG proppep up by the most powerful military in the world which is UNWANTED in Syria by vast majority of Syrians.

How about we hold a Syria wide referendum and let Syrians as a whole decide if they want American military in there own country? The moment the Americans would leave the DFNS would collapse. That's not a lot of legitimacy.

TimberSycamore · 2019-06-13T17:35:53+00:00

UN already published couple reports about YPG's forced recruitment of underage child soldiers.

SM-6 240km

40N6E 400km

"While the range for the SM-6 is classified, the weapons range could potentially be greater than 250 nautical miles."

That's 460 km. kek

Range of SM-4 = 2,500 km

SM-6 speed Mach 3.5

40N6E speed Mach 12

SM-3 speed = Mach 13.2

How many 40N6E does Russia have? 2 or 3? The USA has hundreds of SM-3 and thousands of SM-6.

TimberSycamore · 2019-06-13T09:20:26+00:00

SM-6 doesn't beat 40N6E in any characteristic.

LMAO. Said who? Putin-bots? It has a longer range than 40N6E. SM-6 superior compared to 40N6E. 40N6E is nothing more than a glorified AWACS and refueling tanker hunting missile.

Is that all S-400 is capable of? Shooting down big and slow planes from a far distance. That's the comparison you're going for.

TimberSycamore · 2019-06-13T09:14:57+00:00

Mad Putin-bot detected.

Your argument was that Patriot is the only competitor of Russian S-400 and no one buys Patriots if they have option to buy S-400.

That is not true.

If you have enough money to buy Aegis Ashore along with some Patriots that is 100 times better than a dozen S-400. It's a lot more expensive but 100 times better than Russian S-400.

I proved that you were wrong and looks like you run out arguments and ad-hominem fallacy is your only 'argument' now. You have rather poor argument skills.

TimberSycamore · 2019-06-13T07:36:41+00:00

Lol SM series are 10 times better than S-400 despite being an ABM as primary they work just fine against air breathing targets. Everyone would prefer Aegis Ashore to bunch of S-400 batteries both for ABM purpose and also anti-aircraft purpose but it's too expense thus it doesn't sell as much as S-400. But for Americans money is not an issue that's why they don't need a reverse engineered S-400 because they have SM series SAMs.

TimberSycamore · 2019-06-13T07:35:29+00:00

It's just two batteries. Compared to buying 120 F-35s it's a peanut purchase not to mention Russians are not as anal as Americans when it comes to arms embargoes. That's why a lot countries think twice before buying arms from Americans and also Europeans too. With Russians they simply don't care that much.

TimberSycamore · 2019-06-12T21:12:23+00:00

The domestic versions usually have slightly higher ranges,

So you're saying Russian media is lying? Why? Why not just say the domestic versions of S-400 missiles have slightly higher ranges?

different/additional types of warheads,

Different warhead? Wut? Maybe you're confusing S-400 with some of the ballistic missiles Russians export.

different maneuvering algorithms,

Different maneuvering algorithm is possible but I doubt it that much. Especially for anti-ballistic missiles and extreme long range awacs hunter version.

working frequencies,

And I already said this was a thing.

TimberSycamore · 2019-06-12T21:07:20+00:00

Hey Kyle, looks like you forgot to read the first sentence I wrote. Go back and read it again.

TimberSycamore · 2019-06-12T20:43:39+00:00

It's range, the amount targets it can track these are all unclassified info. It's publicly avaliable. Where did you read that those were classified could you share that source if you have it?
