Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    could this mean there's a possibility of S-400 deployment there in coming years?

    Given high ranking US military leaders, Israeli officials have spoken against such a war consistently, and the fact of the financial troubles of the US, coupled with the anti-war sentiment there, I highly doubt they would want to start a war. I think they will stick to sabotage and covert action (computer viruses).
    The core decision making is never democratic.
    A task group would have been delegated to prepare and produce a viable plan to put to action.

    I would think even an analysis of the consequences would be available to the top politician(s) before any go ahead.
    Its only purpose is achievement of an aim, however flawed it may be.

    Those officials who speak against such actions are not in the loop.
    They have not been tasked with the operation.
    They do not have any decision making authority therefore do not have all the detailed facts.
    Their purpose could also be diversionary to catch the opposition confused and off guard.

    It also gives an air of democracy in action.
    “After great consideration and debate, the balance of opinion was in favour of action being taken”.

    Any truths available after the event is only academic.

    The problem is they could always get it wrong with all the consequences.
    All you have to do is think Iraq and Afghanistan.

They'd rather settle with a nuclear Iran than have a war with Iran and all the things that come with it. Even in Israel there is opposition by some high ranking Mossad leaders against attack. Iran is not Iraq. The geography, capabilities is much different.

    I think Russia made a huge strategic mistake by refusing to deliver the S-300s to Iran despite an agreement having been made to do so.
    This may have been due to pressure or even some horse-trading.

    It could have given the wrong impression to others that it does not care what happens to Iran.
    The reality is Iran is the underbelly of Russia and should have rejected any compromise.

    Some forces ( US, Israel) are playing this game continuously while others (Russia) as and when they think they should participate.
