[quote]I cannot reconcile bravery with military technology.

Remember the 'Brave' USA navy shelling Beirut from 100's of miles away?

Wrong poll. [/quote]


You do not need to reconcile them. Just weigh them up. I am looking for an overall opinion.

:lol: You left out a few good candidates like S.Africa, Germany, Italy...



Italy? Now I believe you have a sense of humour. :lol:


Some other good candidates left out are Australia and Canada.

Accomplished what exactly?

Thank god your leaders are not as stupid as you lot and attempt such a foolish suicide...

Iceman, which weapon in Turkey's inventory has such a capability?


Their mentality... :wink:

Not good enough. You're propagating misinformation :( because Turkey has nothing of the sort I assure you.

It's a common TC tactic to try and scare GCs into submission so that their illegal hold on the occupied areas is preserved.

Turkey has what is called a “conventional army” Iceman, so there are no frills other than large numbers, most of which will be busy elsewhere…my estimates is that Turkey will not be prepared to assign/expend more than 60,000 for the “TRNC”.



Are you seriously suggesting that they need more? :roll:


How the hell are you going to defeat the RoC with a mere 60,000? :? :?



With what they have they are stopping the RoC. They do not need more. The b ....y island will sink under the weight. :roll:

Seriously, lets hope no more fireworks. Cyprus is too small a place to have a conventional war on. Cypriots first priority might be the protecting of their families. Just pray nothing stupid happens. I better talk to General GR. :roll:

Deniz, Got rid of one dictator and his muderous followers. Stopped further build up of troops and invasion of neighbouring countries. Other than that not much, just opened the door for some other muderous group to take over

Sorry. It did read as though you had invaded Iraq and overthrew the Saddam single handed.
