Let them try to destroy Allied bases all they want. All the regional countries have been beefing up their anti-missile defenses. There is massive Aegis BMD coverage of the entire region. It won't be like the Gulf war. Anti missile technology and sensors have made quantum leaps in ability...
Lol, though there was brief talk in 2003 about building a pipeline. Nothing ever happened with it. It was never really a serious possibility since not only Jordon would have to sign off on it. But politicily it was not viable between the different Iraqi parties. It is in fact China who is the...
Please show me where this oil is that we stole from Iraq. Or are you simply parroting the same old war for oil mantra simply becuase of your hatred for the U.S.?
They did after watching Egypt mass around 100,000 on the border. along with Syria 75,000, Jordon 55,000, 1350 tanks and over 1000 artillary pieces. And that doesn't include the reserve forces. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what was in store for them if they didn't hit first...
I agree that UN should be done away with. But a new one would eventually become just as corrupt. It is a never ending money pit full of corrupt professional bureaucrats.
Many people do not realize that prior to WWII the U.S. debt exceeded our GDP. And the economic situation was much worse then currently. Yet the U.S. is still around and kicking. There is still a danger of the current world economic situation to be worse then the great depression if some hard...
They died becuase Saddam diverted the money for his own means such as building palaces. He then used the deaths as propoganda tools to which you yourself still allow yourself to be used for. You should also include the fact that it was not American but U.N. sanctions to which China was a part...
Stop getting stuck in the past. 21st century colonialism is economic in nature. And did I say China doesn't have the right to buy resources? All I said is China needs to come to grips and admit to itself it practices what it preaches against. And it was the people of Sudan that voted to...
I think you would be well served to research who buys most of the oil in North Africa. Let me give you a hint it's the same country that ended up with most of the oil in Iraq as well.
Actually it is pretty spot on! The world can see China with it's own eyes making it's play for the worlds resources. And establishing it's own economic hegemony all over Africa and other parts of the world. It is the worlds newest economic colonial power. Many Chinese seem to be in denial of...
Mark my words the U.S. will be staying for the time being at Shamsi. Pakistan will continue as they always have. To say one thing publicly and privately they continue to help and support us. I mean come on do you really think that if Pakistan really wanted Shamsi closed down that it wouldn't be...
I understand your blind devotion and patriotism for this thing. Especially since other countries don't have anything similar. But you need to stand back and look at it from a common sense view.
Compared to a ship it is definitely fast. But from a defensive standpoint it is a large not very...
And the draw back to that is lack of fleet defense support. Wikipedia says it is going to be put back into production. But until this comes from a more authoritive source I wouldn’t bet on it. To many other more worthy competing projects for the defense funds available.
The Pakistan Shipping company are the ones contracting with the drivers. Nato is paying the shipping company. The shipping company is Pakistan military owned.
There are a variety of sources you can research yourself. some are copyrighted paid services or books. I recommend Jane.s defense as...
