    Not blocked by Russia.
    Blocked by China not making an engine comparable to the RD-33 that they can put in their products for export and not taking into account the obvious problems of Russian equipment going to Pakistan.

    Garry strikes again!

    If this was, say, South Korea trying to sell A-50’s powered by F404’s to Cuba and America blocked it, I can guarantee you that you would not have said: “This is actually South Korea’s fault for not making their own engine to put in the A-50. Obviously the South Koreans should have seen the problems with an American engine going into Cuban service.”

    I mean you’re kidding me with that statement right……….

    Why don’t you leave New Zealand and move to Moscow? Send me a postcard when you get there because it would put me at ease realizing that would be so much happier actually getting to be a part of Russia.

    Jeez, a lot of poison in that reply. Where did that come from?

    I agree that China should have forseen this … so Gary’s analogy is essentially correct. Perhaps the Chinese have something (such as WS13) in the works for this scenario. It is easy to speculate without the inside track of what is going on behind the scenes.

    There are some businesses in Cape Town, where the ship was going to dock, that will lose millions, one being a famous wine estate. Hopefully this will be temporary, once insurance kicks in. Still, not a very nice advert.

    You won’t rest your case. You’ll just say the photo was PSed.:diablo: You have your worthless little pipe dream theory and nothing is going to change your mind. Because after all you are the shizzz.:rolleyes:

    Since you can’t back up your sh!t you have to resort to personal attacks. Like that’s gonna convince me your not full of it.:rolleyes:

    Actually, it was you who stated that there was an image of a Boeing 757 crashing into the Pentagon. You stated that it was ‘freakin’ easy to find it via Google. When asked to do so, you couldn’t. You still haven’t. You then were the first to resort to personal attacks by telling him to ‘grow up’!:eek:

    Just wondering is anyone getting a chuckle about our clever banter?

    By the way, I do not neccessarily disagree with you, just pointing out your flawed argueing skills.:diablo:

    Absolutely. The quality of TV has definetely dropped over the last decade or two, and I think it is a world wide trend. We seem to celebrate stupidity these days, particularly the ‘yoof’ and yob culture, most adherents of which are non contributing members to society and the economy in general anyway..

    Whilst I do not agree with Flex regarding the depth of conspiracy re Sept 11, I do know that the events came at precisely the right time for an embattled George W Bush. There have been examples in the past such as the Lusitania, the sinking of the US naval ship in 1898(?) to precipitate war with Spain, the Reichstag fire and possibly even the deliberately suppressed warning concerning Pearl Harbour. So, in my mind at least, there is plenty of historical precedent.

    I do not believe, however, that there was a deliberate ‘own’ bombing, but there has certainly been enough lies since those tragic events, mostly to serve certain agendas. The real reason for the bombings was America’s disasterously one-sided foreign policy. When people are being killed daily by munitions stamped ‘Made in the USA’, this type of blowback was long overdue. Nothing to do with anybody being jealous of anyones freedom (c’mon..:rolleyes: ). Also, The War on Nazism/Fascism was replaced by The War on Communism and has now been replaced by The War on Terrorism.;) It must be terrible to live in fortress America and know that over the parapets it’s all barbarianism.(I borrowed that from the Roman Empire)

    The impression created is one an orchestrated attack. It has served very well through the millennia and seems to work even in this age of information. So, in my opinion, the tragic events have been high-jacked to serve an agenda, and therein lies the real conspiacy.:cool:

    Anway, the above does have some relevance to the topic, as this uneven foreign policy allows a non IAEA nation with illegal and undeclared nukes to contemplate the pre-emptive attack of an IAEA nation that has not yet aquired these weapons. The mind boggles at the hypicrosy of it all.

    Oh grow up its pretty clear that you are in love with yourself. You’re the only smart one in a sea of billions of idiots. Yet you couldn’t see my joke when I mispelled Ahmadinejad with diddydoo:rolleyes: .

    No one else has questioned my statement about the camera footage except you. Yet you avoid my comment about the missing 757 if the Pentagon was hit by a missle and how the bodies of the people on that plane were recovered in the Pentagon. You’re the smart one here now quit ducking the question and answer it.

    By the way wasn’t thread about Israel striking Iranian nuke research and testing sites using nukes?

    I think it was a slow news day at the British rag that first reported the story. If the Israelis were planning something like that it would be kept under very tight security.

    Lame. Very lame…..
    you said ” do a freakin’ google search”. I don’t agree with flex necessarily but please post that pic that you claimed was so ‘freakin’ easy to find.:D and then you tell flex to grow up….:rolleyes:

    When my daughter was born a year ago, I unplugged myself from The Matrix (TV), and I must say that it has been the finest decision I’ve ever made. I now realise that we have a finite lifespan on this earth and I quite frankly will not waste it on dross…..

    Actually I tend to agree with Gary. If you look at most former Soviet Union fighters, they tended to be designed very much with defence in mind. Also their GCI system was most definitely geared toward the defensive. Perhaps only with the advent of the long range manouevreable SU-27 were more aggressive offensive roles perhaps envisaged.

    I therefore don’t think the PAK-FA will neccessarily be an FA-22 ‘ski.
