what ever u think. EU trade and prosperity is depended on US providing protection. u cannot ignore this point. and Putin is exactly doing it to create a divide between EU and US so can pick a easy fight with EU.

Yeah you really do have no idea what your talking about…………….now as I said, go away.:rolleyes:

Europe can defend without US? Is it a big joke. Without US. Russia can bring entire EU brought into its knees within A day. just blocking energy from Middleast , Central asia and complete asian trade. ur not even capable of fighting taliban/Iran type countries let alone Russia. and in coming decades this thing will be proven. just few visits of Backfire/BlackJacks are enough to shut the North Sea Oil.

Nope your the big joke along with your weird love of Russia, something which is clearly a displacement for your realisation that your native Pakistan is a failed state in all but name, now take your rubbish and stop posting here.:mad:

Good and so what.

Not only was CFE dead but it was never really alive to start with and to be perfectly honest its somewhat belated funeral is irrelevant. The fact is that despite its current oily wealth Russia is not a serious threat to even Europe let alone the United States in any arena outside of nuclear arms and that one is neutralised just as it has been for the past 60 years. Russia and the west need to wake up to the fact that Russia’s potential is now only as a middling power beside Japan and the big European countries, it will never in the long term be able to compete with the impending might of China, India and the existing power of the USA. From here on out it is a three way race and Russia aint in it.

OMG Garry……..I am astonished at the absurdity of what you say.

You seem to be suggesting that just becouse China is not democratic it is communist, lol what complete and utter nonsense, you just keep humiliating yourself.

Grey area just pointed out yet another area where you are wrong too.:rolleyes:

I was thinking of boots for our brave lads, or the NHS, or the roads, or the list is endless 😀

I see there are now 100s marching through the capital demanding she be shot, denounces the verdict as to lenient :confused:

What a peaceful bunch they are.

You wait for the flag burning to come next 😀

We have seen all this before, IIRC last time it was ‘if you call us violent we will kill you’, really pleasant.:rolleyes: It is blatantly apparent that a very large tract of Islam is an evil and violent ideology.

Hi 25deg south
The fault you talked about with the barrel length was I think that due to the length of the barrel and the fact that the stock on the SLR was below the barrel/working parts centre line the recoil force would make the barrel rise before the round left it thus throwing the aim out so the SLR never made a good “sniper” rifle not that it was ever suposed to be but it did effect its aim. Steve

The SLR is a version of the FAL, a weapon with a great reputation as a battle rifle but certainly not an assault rifle and never going to be a precision weapon.

Every country will claim it is the best… every enemy is denigrated as evil or bad. The west was excellent at demonising communism and nazism, yet clearly evidence in China shows the western democracies can put aside their problems over communism and both can get along.

You really have lost the plot,

1) Only in the most absurd of fantasies is China actually communist.:rolleyes:

2) The Nazis did a pretty good job of ‘demonising’ themselves, I am assuming that you are aware of the Holocaust?:rolleyes:

2) The same applies to the Russian Communists, turns out Stalin wasnt such a great guy after all.:rolleyes:
