To sum it all up, the Mongols were some impressive warriors, but very veeeery bad governors. Some like to speak of the Pax Mongolica, but that term, according to some (novice) historians like myself, can be misleading. Yes, the Mongols managed one of the largest empires but it was far from...

The guy is probably also Dutch, he tried to insult me once with ''kk poepchinees'' meaning ''cancer (kk being Dutch SMS slang for cancer) shit Chinese'', thinking he would circumvent the mods this way if he blatantly used racial curses in Dutch:omghaha:

Nothing to add here basically... @Nihonjin1051 :undecided:

Fossil fuels will remain viable till somewhere 2030-2050 when oil and gas supplies will start to deplete. What we should focus on as well, is what will come next, and that might just going to be battery and chip technology. In this case, rare earth metals like Lithium, Iridium, Erbium...

We should be, by steadily gaining strenght by numbers! Countries which already have exceptionally deep trade relations with China, like Zimbabwe, Sudan, Angola and Mongolia, could option to trade in RMBs exclussively altogether. Especially Africa seems like an especially interesting option to...

There has been a discussion here for a long time about genetically modified crops. One of them being the fact that they've altered the DNA of regular crops, which might have long term effects on our otherwise ''natural'' (Yeah with lots of E-numbers and whatnot) human diet.

Didn't @ComradeNam post an article about this some time earlier in which US import chickens were actually a good thing, according to him? :what: Ahhh! here it is: US chickens face dumping accusations in Vietnam

Well, we are having a discussion now, aren't we? LOL Well, only time will behold the real truth, bro. Only time... And don't be ridiculous! Our high kicks never go above a 90 degrees angle! Also, will update this message later, I have to go, for now.

Good points, good points! Thanks for the input! :tup: This is somewhat of an oxymoron/contradiction. We shouldn't discuss military affairs because we don't have military experience? Then for that same reason, should you not be making bold pronouncements about the PLA as well, which might be...

Meeeeh, if he indeed has some further info to point out in regards to my previous post, I am all ears to his insight. I will judge for myself if he's trolling or not. After all, sharing is caring, right? @gambit ;) I was thinking the same first too, but then I considered, with the coming of...

Okay, then please enlighten me about what other advantages air support has over artillery support. And oh please, don't be so sarcastic, I merely stated some pros of artillery support of which I thought were some valid points. I never said that this was conclusive, if I was indeed the...

There are many advantages that artillery has over air support. First one is the fact that you don't endanger a pilot's life when you are lobbing shells or missiles at an enemy position, from over hundreds of KM away. A second pro is that artillery support can be called upon relatively faster...

Ha! If these modern conventional systems weren't deadly enough, there is also this manner of firing a shell with just an electric charge. Anyone who has more insight on this special way of dealing death from over 2 KM away? :sniper: @SinoSoldier? @cnleio? @TaiShang?

NOICE! And thanks for the tag bro! Wouldn't want to miss out on this great news! Judging from the video, BYD is primarily a passenger bus for transport across the Schiphol airport tarmac. Haven't seen any of them yet around for regular public transport. The RET (Where I live), or Veolia...

These Tibetan soldiers in the PAP and the PLA tend to disagree with these losers' ''reality'' Tibetan soldiers of the People's Armed Police in front of Potala Palace Zeren Zhima, a female Tibetan officer in the PLA: Local Tibetan soldiers of the ''Heroic'' radar station garrison in...

Sansha is now the most southern Chinese city if I am correct? It's also getting its own permament PLA garrison! :china:

So close...

Wow... I am not even 2 posts into this, and someone is already discussing racial issues!

I doubt any army would want to thread into China's interior... Japan's Imperial forces, inspite of their massive army and their impressive conquest of China's largest cities, didn't even manage to conquer half of the country at the time, which didn't even include Xinjiang and Tibet, then. The...
