Yes i would agree that the sunni-american allience is helping in the drop of casualties

Yes, this is what I meant, so argument is over. I don’t condone violence in Iraq against innocent civilians from AQ. I have to be clear about my position on this.

In sofar as they get $300 a month they wouldn’t complain about any accidents.They were earning $0.00 prior to that .When you pay a mercenary, he/she fights for you. Do you think they would fight for America out of love?
The fact is their co-operation brought about important transformation in the security process in Iraq. One cannot deny this. Give credict to where it is due.

Let them come back and you will see the numbers of American casualties rise dramatically. They have done a good job of really confronting AQ in Iraq,
otherwise no America was chanceless. This are some of the costs of the war that is dragging America into recession.

Soc quoted:

Technology is only half the equation.

But rather unfortunately all Americans think, technology and economics is the complete
equation, which makes them feel that they are above everything else, which is in essence a “cultural schizophrenia,”

Who cares about “low-context” culture, Russia today doesn’t care and isn’t interested in others seeing her as very important.

Jon James quoted:

oh come on 1Man, your not seriously trumpeting the capabilitys of the Russian conventional forces are you? Even the most rabid Russian military zealot would admit that there conventional forces are weaker compared to America by a huge margin. It will be many years yet, decades perhaps till you and Russia can bask in glory again, not that the people did but thats a different matter altogether.

Now i will grant you that Russia could match the Americans in nuclear capabilitys but i do wonder, just how well kept are the Russian missiles and more importantly the warhead. Also the new Russian sub launched ICBM has failed what 3 out of 4 tests was it? That dosn’t bode well for the future – imagine if three quaters of the sub launched missiles failed in war——————————————————–
The Bulava SS-NX-30 is a 21st century state-of-the- art weapon system under development the technology which is 20 years ahead of its competitors.
Compared to the Bulava system, the trident is 2 decades behind Bulavas.
Designing, manufacturing and testing a breakthrough revolutionary technology is not like making potato chips in a factory ready for comsumption the following day.
So you think the Russians are so stupid as you claimed them to be by putting their submarines into use when they aren’t ready.
Do you know how many lunch failures the Trident program had?

And let me once again tell you that no matter how inferior Russian conventional weapon technology might be ,the “mighty”U.S would never,never never God forbid dream of carrying out pre-emptive conventional war against Russian even if ordered by the almighty God above to persue such an adventure promising divine intervention .

If America technology is so superior ,why didn’t she fight them for over 60 years now, it is quite easier bullying 10th grade military powers all over the world,heh!!!.

Think about June 1999 in Pristina. Why didn’t the mighty America issue 24hrs altimatum to the Russians to drag them out of the airport,after they seized the airport ,scared huh!!! despite their inferior tanks at the airport.
The coward general Wesley Clark ordered the British general Sir Michael Jackson to drive the Russians from the airport. And do you know the answer he gave back to him? “I can’t fight your 3rd world war for you”, he replied.
Let tell me you, according to a Russian general they were damn prepared to fight,– a setup though ,but the sensible and elite British general saw the writing on the wall.

The coward U.S general was as scared as hell to take any action. Thus
the Russians occupied Pristina airport for 2 weeks before a negotiated settlement took place, consequently giving the Russians a chance to partake in the KFOR peace mission. I was then on a visit to Belgium, and do you know what a comment a Belgian made during an Interview on a television. ” The Russians brought the mighty America to her knees”

This test is nothing new, it is no feat in itself,it has been done 40years ago by the Russians and the U.S, the most important and worrying scenario is the environment in which it took place-space to the detriment of commercial, economical and social interests of mankind.
Tomorrow you would see that a defunct Russian satellite may have to be destroyed, and then the chain reaction has already begun to manifest itself.

nice try egberto but you do realise 99% of the RPG rounds that hit m1’s don’t even bother it. hell i rememeber hearing about a marine aav-7 being hit with upwards of 50 rpgs in the fullujah ops, warheads failing to detonate or simply bouncing off lol.

Blatantly untrue, I will soon post you the photos to the forum of destroyed Abraham tanks M2 and M1s by RGP-7 not even RPG-29,in Iraq, and I would prove that with factual graphics and not hearing a marine saying this and that. Do you think they would tell you the truth, that they have been busted by vintage 1960 Soviet RPG-7 ? , they have pride too as human beings- those marines.

Hey Mr. GaryB
How are you doing?
Perhaps a little country like Georgia might drag NATO into a war with Russia… I am sure Sferrin will get very excited about that

I got it.
