@txl301md Everything you say may be true. My fear is that this movement, which seems on the whole a healthy and needed thing, is populated by people interested in nothing more than political theatre. There seems to be an almost forgone conclusion in the dynamics of this, where certian things a...

You tube postings of military technology subject always end up being less about the technical subject matter and more about childish trash talking. How exactly did the Fleet Air Arm "run rings" around the U.S. Navy and Marines? Because you say so? Gotta love that baseless braging.

@andseibel "exploitation indeed occur" puts it a little too lightly I think. Stalin was the greatest mass murderer in history. He starved, executed, and jailed millions. I can't believe you are trying to blame the West for what the Soviet government did to its own people. You don't have to ta...

Moreover, every decoy that an enemy has to put on their missile is one less warhead they will be able to lob at us. So even if missile defense doesn't work, it still works to degrade an adversary's strike capability. Also, if the intercept described above, (which Postol seems to admit is possi...

@IWubYooz If you really believe what you say here, then you are delusional. White America has suffered from the sad sickness of white guilt for decades. The fact that you say that you stopped watching after six minutes says volumes. White Americans have had to suffer with assumptions based...

I am curious as to what "faith" JoeZaza100 is talking about. Whatever it is, it failed to protect Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Afghanistan from armed Soviet aggression. I also would like to know where is gets the idea that the American public is clamoring for nuclear arms reduction. It may in...
If you want to be as rich and powerful as the West, you have to start thinking and behaving like the West. This means getting over your own cultural chauvinism and swallowing your pride. The American South had to do this after the Civil War and Japan had to do it after WWII. It's apparently wo...
