The 15 countries with the highest military expenditure in 2011

[PERSIAN GOD KING]

Whoa, iran is getting a little big for its boots. Iran is a regional player I agree but beyond that it is nothing more than a problem (because of nuke program) and a oil supplier who likes to meddle in the region for her own gains ie Iraq. We seem to play fast and loose with the term superpower thee days and Iran certainly isn't and will not be for the foreseeable futre.

yeah if we so weak then why yankee pussies are only huffin and puffing for 30 years?

 

[Hello_10]

What the reason for your opinion? We are peace loving country and our armed forces are for defensive purpose.

Where did you got the news that China has threatened India. Don't go by the posts of PDF members.

there can't be a better response from an Indian living in a western country. even if defense expenditure of China on PPP is hardly twice to that of India, our friend Sino Challenger handle Indians, Japanese, Koreans, Taiwanese including russians also sometimes, 'single handed'. once Sino make a comment, all run aways while even if India buy all the best arms of Russia with buying arms from EU and now US also, none dare to respond him once Sino starts.

a Global Power is the man who is a 'man' by his 'will', the Will Power, which Indian nationals lack by a big margin

 

[W.11]

now that u have developed nukes plz take some rest..

Your story is like the rabbit in rabbit vs tortoise tail..

then who is the tortoise, india?

glad to know you are trying to catch us

btw its tale, not tail

 

[perplexed]

Also, Iran has a 'Will Power' to become a Global Power which we find is lacked in Indians, mainly in NRIs, by a big margin. Iran is comparatively a small country than US, EU, China, India, Russia but Iran always try to develop defence arms by themselves. In fact Iran's economy is as big that Iran must be included in G20, I sincerely believe. but look on Indians of 3rd largest economy on PPP with having 3rd largest defense expenditure on PPP, even if they get the best arms of Russia with full technology transfer, whether its russian best aircraft SU30mki, their best T90 tanks, full support in missile defense with having all the key missiles and missile defence of Russia through hidden deals, like recent supply of Russian deadliest Nuclear Submarine Akula-2 which was also a 'secret deal', full support in Naval ship build up including AC, Frigates/ Destroyers etc. but you will still find Indians always being threatened from China and look on US/West for help against China

there is no country of the world whose nationals are as Insecured for their security as Indians, mainly NRIs. Iran has a Will Power to become a Global Power but Indian mainly proud on their strength over Pakistan and are always threatened with China, and hopefully they will remain like this forever

Don't know what you are saying buddy but irrespective of whatever shyte is peddled here on pdf regarding '62 the truth is we lost but every soldier fought valiantly to their last bullet. Every soul here has a fighting spirit...

Right from birth, we Indians have to overcome tremendous competition be it in studies or for GFs or fresh vegetables early morning in the local grocery store etc.. and what not. The fighting spirit which is developed among Indians is a curse(over population) as well as a boon in many ways..

But the kind of sweeping generalization you made above there is totally uncalled for..

Even according to Western sources, the 1989 Tiananmen incident resulted in the deaths of a few hundred people.

Whereas the 1984 Sikh massacre resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of Sikh men women and children.

And according to any source 3000-5000 died in 1984 Anti-Sikh riots.

By the why aren't Muslims allowed to have religious education in China till they are adults?

 

[IndoUS]

because we want to fly to our favourite honey moon destinations across the border in them

Well mate I wish you best of luck, you bought F-16 and tried to fly across the oceans to your honeymoon location but it seems that the marriage is starting to break. You bought JF-17 for your second marriage and I truly hope when you fly across for you second honeymoon things don't go south and the marriage would last longer than the last one.

one day i made a point on PDF, "why Pakistan's rulers try for F16s so hard for $70mil while Chinese Top Gun J10 is offered to them for hardly $50mil and China offer easy loan to buy J10 also?" while the reality is, by just J10s, China can defend itself from whole world at one time and right now most of the Western military preparations are based on concerned with China only.

a man is slave by his level of thinking. China can fight with whole world by whatever arms they have, while even if India gets all the best arms from Russia, including from West also, Indians are always looked insecured. its not the arms but its the people who have guts to win any war and China does have this guts in themselves

U seem to have been bitten by CPC bug or think u are on stage giving sermons.. pardon us if don't buy your assertions ( they are not arguments ). Either give some circumstantial logic behind your inferences or stop trolling..

What makes you think we feel insecured ? in '71 when super power US threatened us along with the possibility of Chinese threat on northern frontier, we still managed to capture over 90,000 PoWs. We can claim to be the only country to have crossed national borders and scored 100% victory (once).

While US got butchered several times, USSR had to backtrack from Afganistan and China got a bloody nose in vietnam..

Iran is not wanabe, we were the first superpower on this planet and were superpower many times.
Iran is a regional power in a regional who can turn the world upside down if it wanted.

How exactly was Iran the first super power?

You are forgetting the Chinese, Egyptians, Carthage and besides Persia attacked Greece and was defeated and then Alexander the Great defeated you guys.

So lets see how many other countries defeated Iran (Persia):
1 - Greece
2 - Macedonia
3 - Romans
4 - Byzantine
5 - Arabs
6 - The Mongols
7 - Britain
8 - Russia
9 - Stalemate with Iraq
10- Naval defeat against USA

Stop exaggerating your civilization. Persian civilization was great but it was not above anyone.

 

[danger007]

best rant posts of the thread

then who is the tortoise, india?

glad to know you are trying to catch us

btw its tale, not tail

we are clever enough to develop nukes much before the time so that we can chill and relax and spend rest of our days in retirement

where there is nothing but rats to feed, india is keen to spend 112 billion not on its 1,2 billion but fart missiles and fart tanks

According to the IMF... PPP should NOT be used for international comparisons.



edition.cnn.com/2011/BUSINESS/04/26/us.china.economy/index.html

Especially not for India's defence budget, since even India's "indigenous" systems use imported components from other countries.

And with the Rupee falling as much as it has, only makes it worse, when most of your stuff is bought from overseas.

Every civilization has it's ups and downs.. can u compare side by side how many kingdoms the Persian decimated during their hay days ?

Quit measuring a civilization through it's weaknesses rather than it's strengths. At least you will end up learning something out of the process...
