I haven't read through all this, but I wanted to say our (USA) military history notes the Turkish soldiers as ferocious and dedicated fighters. The British learned this to their sorrow in the Gallipoli campaign in WW1. Much respect and honor to Turkiye.

The Russians have had operational ABM systems in place since the 1960's... nothing new.

Biden is, IMO, a bumbling idiot who cannot talk his way out of a wet paper bag.

Ridiculous. Just because it happened does not mean it is the fault of the USA. If B follows A, it does not mean that B was caused by A. If I tell my neighbor "I think you are evil", does that mean he must suddenly begin to act irrationally, or behave in an evil fashion? Words do not have...

How predictable... "Bush did it." Give me a break. Bush can call them 'Neptunian slugs', and it shouldn't change how they behave. Are you saying the USA is so powerful that with an offhanded insult, we can through a nation into turmoil and jack tensions up 4 notches?

I agree the current status is better than war, but the current status can be potentially IMPROVED. The tensions between the two nations are very high and the NK people are suffering. Seoul changed hands more than once in the Korean war. Loss of a capital doesn't mean loss of a war. The...

They're talking about a fixed power source, I think, not something you put into a laptop. A large chamber could be used on site to turn waste cellulose into usable power. I like the idea.

That did not work well in 1950.

It looks like the turret from a light armored scout vehicle. Wikipedia comes through:

You are correct there. But abrasive is different from insensitive, and there are levels, graduations. The congressmen and officials who do this are pandering to their constituency. Come on, let's be realistic... right now, relations between our nations stink, are about as low as they've ever...

^^ Light is a FORM of EM radiation. Shortwave radio, microwaves, lasers, UV, IR, X rays, gamma rays, all of them are EM radiation, and all travel at C in a vacuum. The only difference between your microwave oven's output and a gamma ray burst from a dying star is the frequency/wavelength.

We see gross, insensitive, and hateful comments from U.S., Pakistani, Indian, Chinese, every internet nation has herds of idiots. It does not represent national policy, nor does it represent people in general. Kind of like YouTube comments.... they are not representative.

This video is creepy... It is a perfect example of what NK is about - robotic people programmed to behave in a particular way. I feel sorry for THESE people, not Dear Leader. I wonder if these videos are analyzed by NK leadership, and if someone isn't suitably sorrowful, they get identified...

TY all... as I mentioned to Aryan_B in a PM, I am convinced reasonable people can disagree on a lot of things, yet in the end, at the core, we will always have more in common than not. Everyone simply wants to be left alone to pursue their lives in peace and watch their children thrive.

As I said earlier, the Germans were ahead in jet engines and liquid fueled rockets. Those are maybe 5% of the key technologies of that era. You completely ignore other technological innovations that aren't Nazi-based. Further, the Nazis supplied 2% of the information that led to the F-15...

Misleading graphic. Look in the lower left corner at U.S. Troops overseas. That tells the real story. There was a sharp and marked dip after the USSR went belly up in 1991. We were pulling troops home. Things were looking good. Then in 2001, we all know what happened. Someone poked the...

Uh, read closely. The statement focuses on South Korea and Japan. The USA is simply saying "We will watch closely." Nothing more. Did you take your paranoid vitamins today or something? There is legitimate cause for concern. The one or two NK 2 kiloton fizzle nukes can make a lot of people...

I respect our German members for participating in what is undoubtedly an uncomfortable thread. I watched the speech in the OP. Very interesting, but also incredibly twisted in a subtle and sophisticated manner. There was a reason Hitler and his boyz rose to power... he was a MASTER orator...

Uh, MI-4 is a movie and is total fiction. No one in the USA are praising REAL rogue actions by CIA personnel.

RIP sir - may you ride forever on your heroic white horse in a freezing blizzard, with no real jacket, immune to the cold, protecting the peace-loving people of North Korea from the Americans:
