Time to nip this one in the bud.

 

Also, rumors are that Russia and Ukraine may now officially be at war. Interesting read:

One thing is for sure, things are heating up globally by the day.

 

Can Denny confirm this?

 

haha, with all due respect, cant you? I realize that Yahoo News is not the apex of media coverage, they are legit. It is obvious that this is more an opinion, as it poses a question.

 

this is good news for our corporate war machine and arms sales.

 

Just remember guys....



That's our military, and most on that list are our allies too.

One thing you fail to account for in your favorite military spending graphic is the cost of labor. China, Russia and others get much more for their personal dollar than we do and that makes up a considerable portion of our budget.

 

I'm not sure if that's taken account for in that graphic or not, it was made by Wallstreet but there is a considerable difference in spending regardless. You can test other sources as well if you want to, they all say the same thing.

 

There are 8,400 attack helicopters in the world. The U.S. has 6,400 of them.

We have 19 Air Craft Carriers. The rest of the world has 10.

The M1 Abrams tank has seen more combat than just about any other tank on the battlefield today. It has never been knocked out by enemy fire. (Completely killed). Ever. China has less than 500 Type 99 tanks, that have just been developed, and are not even close to being as good as the Abrams. We have 8,700 Abrams.

Yada yada yada

In times like these it makes you feel a little more secure, no?

 

Not really. Frontal assault has never been a big concern. Terrorist attacks can sneak past aircraft carriers.

 

Not a chance. They'd have to attack from the inside like 9/11. We have satellites that monitor everything and can shoot incoming nukes straight out of the sky. Our technology is ridiculously advanced.

 

Perhaps it is time for Germany or France to go battle Islam. Yep! Next!

 

Um. What? Obviously I mean attacks like 9/11. I wouldn't call missile attacks "sneaking."

 

Until some one spends a million developing a less detectable nuke, at which point we spend one billion on better satellites.

 

Sorry I ran my own topic off course with American badassery and patriotism. I meant for this thread to be about things simmering up around the world.

 

So you mean like Muslims who are already American citizens?
