I want to know what was the French take on the Red Flag briefing video that was out on the internet. Where the Colonel was very critical of the French and somewhat about the Indians. It has caused a lot of issues and disecting in this very forum.

He made one particular comment that the French sent the Rafale only to collect information using their advanced sensors :confused:

I told you that post is still relevant when it comes to real enemies :dev2:. Pakistan is, let’s say not in our league anymore.

The IRA did change nothing as long as it stick to violance, when the political solution did work so far. There is no justification for terror, because it is indiscriminate by nature. 😮
What do you mean with indiscriminate bombing? :confused:

Like in Gaza, where innocent people are killed along with terrorists. No matter what u do, gps, laser and **** when u bomb a city as dense as gaza innocent ppl will die.

Nothing new. There is no military option even. But in that case the counter pressure has to be kept for some time to give the other side the option to learn someting about their miscalculation.
“We can start the asymmetrical violance at will and in the worst case the international public will free us to pay the price for our behavior.”
Compared to other bloody conflicts, the situation there is just “peanuts”. To avoid misunderstandings, I hate people, which do mishandle the own people, when they are claiming that political ideas have to be reached by terror. 😡

Actually terror tactics is usually used by an inferior enemy who do not have the means to fight an open war. But they can resort to the IRA style targetting of soldiers and government officals and spare the civillians. Then again the indiscriminate bombing is almost the same.

I support Israel. But you are all idiots if you believe the issue can be solved by war alone. Look at the Rising Arab population, there will be a time when they will simply overwhelm israel. So any millitary option must be strictly short term.

Actually truth is that the Europeans did not want to deal with the Jewish people anymore and this involved serious implications like handing over pre war property to the returning Jews etc. The creation of the state of Israel was in effect done to guard European interests. This is why even the Soviet Union supported it. The countries directly or indirectly affected by it were the Arab states and the Third World States. In effect most of the countries who voted against the resolution were from the third world.

All that is history now. Israel has shown its willingness to negotiate provided that the Hamas and others give up their arms and recognize Israel. How can you negotiate with countries like Iran who supply Hamas with weapons and call on conferences of Holocaust deniers ? I think the people of Israel are fighting for their survival……and that if the Hamas or anyone has any issues they must be taking it out with the Europeans not Israelis.

No negotiation with terrorists be it Hamas or Taliban. They should first lay down their arms like the IRA did before coming to the discussion table.

Also can anyone give comparative analysis of Iranian and Israeli Air Force. How many Tomcats do they have ?
