happy new year
Yep. And that comes from the president who is so proud he "stopped" some 9 wars and received a (totally made up) Fifa peace prize!
Everytime you think it can't get worse...

Sean O’Connor - Chinese radars in Syria (also valid for Venezuela and Pakistan) Venezuela has Chineses radars. https://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2015/imag ... r.2012.pdf think of Saab 2000 in use in Pakistan Air Force in a Chinese radar environment.

Don't take it personal, because it isn't. And stay on topic on the news forum please.

Thanks

As you are citing my “gung ho blabla” I guess this was a reply to my message.

As Key says; don’t take it personal as it isn’t your article I am questioning. I appreciate your post but I am always wondering how reliable the 80% of an article is when the 20% information that you can check is unreliable (such as the Ford Tomahawks and F-35Cs)

As the man said, stay on topic, and if you have questions WHY not post is as PM to Hämmero, that's what its for.

Questioning is fair and of course allright, but you might want to consider that having doubts about all else he wrote , is just as 'doubtful' as assuming it is spot on. (I read it not as statements, but merely as quotes, Just like I think he intended to)

Being fair is also countering these quotes with proven facts you have found yourselves. Would be benificial to all readers.

Not personal :wink:

No! I don’t agree! First of all I don’t question Hammarö, I question the article he is forwarding. And what is the point of sending him a PM? I noticed some irregularities in his post and it is in everybody’s interest to point this out. This is a Forum Glidepath, look up the definition. Wait I already did this for you: “A meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged”

And by the way, this is the “Off topic” topic in the Tattlelounge so what is the point of your post anyway…

Ok, a little bit personal this one! 😉
