Something quite interesting

[Redmond Boyle 0]

I found some interesting lists from Wikipedia

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_count...f_active_troops

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_count...of_total_troops

 

I'm not tryin' to wage war or anyhting...I just found surprising that Iran has the most military troops in the world :shock: :shock: (it's due to paramilitary though)

[mormreed 0]

never would have guessed :shock: and the US says it pwns EVERYONE in troops, well China pwns the US

[F15pilotX 4]

in sheer numbers...in training, we win, and in war, we would massacre them...they wouldn't be able to stop our airforce, and then it'd just be a mopup...

 

you notice that 250/1000 north koreans are in the military??? :shock:

[Redmond Boyle 0]

Kim Jong ill really likes war games, he propably plays Generals...

 

Russia is propably the only one who could pwn USA...Their Nukes go through your anti missile systems

 

one thing I was surpsired was Finland has more troops than Great Britain :shock: :shock:

actually chinese airforce is not that weak. i'm sure they have stealth technology and everything, they r just not so open about it. Check this out:

This is also interesting - US leads the world in arms sales. Maybe thats why they have revealed everything like JSF program and DD(X) destroyers to the world, like marketing campaigns :lol:

the US is just cocky and arrogant and in huge debt, so they sell stuff to everyone to try and pay back the debt, and the US thinks it can win easily even if other countries have their weapons

[Doctor Destiny 41]

It's not arrogance if it's true. Not to mention, we only sell old tech, not new tech. Most of what we sell is disused 70s, 80s and early 90s tech and machinery. Far better has been developed in recent years.

[vyper 0]

I'm not too sure about that. Turkey is buying 100 JSF F-35's if I remember correctly. Plus the old 80's weapons like the F-16 are heavily upgraded and even look like a different plane now, if you compare photos from 80's and now. And the F-16 is still the backbone of the US frontline combat aircraft. Anyway, its a simple matter of economics : If the US doesnt sell its technology, buyers will go elsewhere and companies like Lockheed Martin will go out of business.

[Luk3us 63]

Pff.. I'd kick all your asses!

 

But yeah quantity ain't everything.

[mormreed 0]

Companies like Lockheed Martin wouldn't go out of buisness they would just move to other countries to get the federal grants. Because if the US didn't sell their tech they couldn't fund companies like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin. Those companies don't exclusively deal in planes, they deal in missiles, radar, and make lots of critical parts for both of them, they also do a lot of research trying to find better ways to make the Patriot missiles, radar, other stuff my aunt won't tell me because it's classified . Also the US has very good training and thinks that if they sell these planes and weapons they can just storm in and destroy or steal them because they have superior training.

Other countries have also a good training so it wouldn't make much of a difference

[Thierry 0]

Paramilitary are people who could potentially be recruited for the army (militia), but I doubt they would face up to a fully trained soldier.

[mormreed 0]

The US either has much better training or thinks they do whichever way it is they still think they can come in and destroy/steal all the weapons they sold

So is the invasion of Iran ever gonna happen?

[Doctor Destiny 41]

So is the invasion of Iran ever gonna happen?

With any luck, no.

[TheBlackOut 7]

As long as Iran doesn't pull out an "I CHOOSE ATTACK ISRAEL" pokeman, I don't think we'll see it.

[Doctor Destiny 41]

Must... resist... AUGH!

My pokemans... LET ME SHOW YOU THEM!

 

Couldn't resist. >_>

[TheBlackOut 7]

NO! YOU DON'T WANNA SEE THAT POKEMA------------

 

*Israel nuked, millions, millions die*

 

Damn your greed!

Actually Iran attacking Israel is the last thing i expect to happen. Its Bush who needs to shelve his pack. Why is bush obsessed with Iran? when i last checked, Israel was the ONLY country in the middle east to have a CONFIRMED stockpile of nukes. It recently bombed lebanon, a democratic nation, back to the stone age if u remember. Basically Bush and Israel have been the main agressors in that region. They've already pulled all their cards out. Its a miracle that a world war hasnt started. It probably will if the US attacks Iran.

It's all the jews fault!! just kididng, but not really...

 

So Is it more likely to be North Korea vs USA or Iran vs USA? or what terrible will happen next?

[vyper 0]

hehehe, no its not the jews but the fault of a bunch of arrogant scum that think they can do whatever they want and get away with it.

China has direct border with N.Korea so it will probably respond in the event of a US invasion to ensure its own interests are secure. That would maybe lead to a wider conflict. Thats why USA is still negotiating with N.Korea instead of threatening to attack it cause it cant risk all out war at the moment. So an Iran conflict is more likely. Or maybe even strikes against Syria. You seem very intersted in potential conflict scenarios, pick up a couple of Tom Clancy novels, after all, the 9/11 scenario was hypothesized in one of his books.

Yea, cause bombing Israeli cities with missiles is truly better, amirite?

[Doctor Destiny 41]

To some, of course it would be better.

I can't say one way or the other though... I do realize that Israel is a huge part of the problem in the Middle East.

[TheBlackOut 7]

Yea, but it's there. And they ain't going to go. So why not try and work around it? Nope, they don't, instead, they bomb it.

 

Wait, isn't that the mantality people make fun of the U.S. for? Opps. :roll:

I agree , israel is there, the arabs have to deal with it. But I want to ask u something.... I am assuming u r familiar with how israel was created. What if the United Nations, in all its wisdom, one fine day decides to give the State of say.... New York and Washington to a bunch of ppl who u dont know, never met, to make an independent country of their own, just like that? how would u react? would u just sit back and let a bunch of outsiders take your country cause the united nations says so?

hehe ur saying that as if israel only 'responds' to bombings.... my friend, israel routinely bombards places like gaza with f-16s on the pretext of killing 'militants'. Even the so-called soldier abduction in israel b4 the lebanon conflict was actually in response to the killing of 7 palestinian civilians when a patrol boat shelled them while they were enjoying on the beach. The following response by hamas gave israel the perfect excuse to bomb the whole of south lebanon to hell, after lebanon had so painstakingly reconstructed itself after the previous war. But if we get into the 'who started it first' discussion it will be endless and useless.
