#4  OTOH WAFF [paraph] > TURKISH MP CALLS FOR WITHDRAWAL OF "TURKISH OCCUPATION ARMY" IN CYPRUS, any + all plus to include those covert "troops/forces" Ankara doesn't formally recognize as its military servicemembers.

versus

* INDIAN DEFENSE FORUM > UK BUDGET-CUTTERS HAVE SLASHED US$15.0BILYUHN [UK L$10.0Bilyuhn+] FROM ARMOR PROGRAMS.

Few = No? Tanks or other Armor for the UK-ies, + only one "QUEEN LIZ" CVF that may or may not become fully certified until decades in the future when its ready to be retired or scrapped???

* SAME > NATO TO RUSSIA : MISSLE RESPONSE [anti-US,NATO counter-BMD Shield] IS A WASTE OF MONEY.

Mama Russia informed that the US, NATO are not their enemy.

#2  "Having any military force, other than the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), is very beneficial for the region, as it will prevent the outbreak of a military conflict," said [retired Admiral Viktor] Kravchenko, who was head of the Russian Navy from 1998 to 2005.

Also reinforces the Russian 'claim' to their facilities at Tartus.

#1  Why does this remind me of sending gunboats to China to protect the opium trade?
