yes but it takes balls to stand up to russia .
This may not go well.
so russians are going to end up with two new guided missle ships ? that restart button is working great ???
putin is determined to rebuild mother russia to the days before the soviet collapse . he will do so without challenge unless the eu stands up to him. he is expanding his military while ours will be gutted . it took years to rebuild after carter gutted it .
:LOL::LOL::LOL:
It's not our fight, not our place to tell other countries how they should be run.... Seems like people would learn that eventually!!!!
I wish they would cut the military waaaaay back--- Then one some idiot wants to start another damn war to support the great and might Military Industrial Complex they could bring back the DRAFT!!!! See how much the rest of the country supports are interfering in stuff that's not any of our business!!!
No reason to have such a huge standing army anyway....If there's another World War it won't be fought with tanks and troops, it'll all be over in a heartbeat when the big boys start throwing Nukes around the globe!!!
We have a very large National Guard, the same "militia" that the founding fathers were so strongly in favor of......These forces are ready to go with little notice, the last CF's in the Mid-East had these guys deployed. Major problem was, the idiots who were in power decided we should conduct 3 wars at the same time!!!! The only thing any of these conflicts did was kill way too many young men and women. When we're out of the Mid East, things will go back to being just like they were, back to the days of the Old Testament!
Just who in the heck do the people of this country think they are that we (the US) should have the right to go anywhere in the world to impose our will and our way of life on them??? Many of these folks still aren't convinced, even though every conflict since Korea has been nothing more or less then economics-based to support their much beloved Military Industrial Complex, the same one President Eisenhower warned of us in his farewell speech after his Presidency!!!
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting the results to be different!!!!! This country seems to be over-qualified on that count!!!!:LOL::LOL::LOL:
When I'm elected President, by executive order I will sign into law that every immigrant will drive an North American built vehicle and ALL picp up trucks will be oem equipped with a rifle/shotgun rack across the back window!!!!!!!!Your license plate will have a code that lists your level in the chain of responsibility for the national militia ------------
Instead of baseball/football summer camps, every 16 year old will attend a 3 month long basic training camp before returning to there 3rd year classes where they will have classes in trade type work---plumbers, electricians, carpenters, brick layers, mechanics, welders, farming-----------the next summer they will go work in those jobs before returning to school for their senior year--enough of these part time retail jobs in the shopping malls--------------after the senior year, away to a 6 month tour with a military unit for advanced training interlaced with additional training in fields of work that would include logistics(truck driving,etc) machine operation(bulldozers,cranes,back hoes) medical (ambulace, orderly,nursing)------------
Sorry on the following post----but just how bad do you think it is there???? notice the 2 women and kids strolling along in the back ground???

Looks like Putin just flipped Obama the bird; shows how seriously the rest of the world takes us. I say we worry about our own side of the pond. Like my mama used to say," Hold your hand up in front of your face. Everything on the inside of your hand is your business, everything on the outside of your hand is none of your business."
Personally, I think our next conquest should be the Grand Cayman Islands.... Then build a world class dragstrip, put Jerry Clayton in charge of air transportation, and make it an "entitlement" that every drag racer over the age of 60 be given free transport, lodging, accommodations for his car, and a healthy subsistence allowance to keep things going!!!!! Nostalgia Top Fuel, Funny Car, and Pro Stock races on the third weekend of every month. Drag racers between the ages of 40 - 60 would be given a substantial "discount entitlement" if they should choose to participate!!! Spectators over 60 get a free ride, too!!!!
Lets spend our tax money on something really worthwhile!!!!!!!!!
how long to move 100k men and all the support for them ?
Now before all you Americans start aiming your guns at me for being a New Zealander and having a opinion, let me say I realize that is a Hot Rod site and we shouldn't comment on Politics or Religion. But I will comment on what Dave has written and if the so called Christians read , study and understand their Bible, they will know that Jehovah God will not allow Earth to be destroyed. So I honestly believe there will be no large scale nuclear war but in saying that wars all around the world will have to come to an end soon and how that is going to happen, sadly only God knows as us humans have proved since Adam that we ,mankind can't rule mankind. Good to hear though that some in America are waking to the fact of who is really pulling the puppet strings of the Government, CIA etc.. Just my humble opinion again...
To the new Island Drag Strip???? Heck, it's not even built yet!!!!!!!!Quote:

But Shine, history will tell you that America only got involved because the Japs attacked Pearl Harbour and your Pressie of the day wanted no part of the European action until then, FACT. Also you, the American people like to make out that it was only you blokes that saved the day for the English, again only in your wet dreams is that the case. And while you have me wiled, who dropped nuclear bombs on Japan after they had surrendered ???
If Roosevelt hadn't through the Lend Lease Act, England would have fallen as would have Russia and once we were attacked at Pearl Harbor the bulk of our energy was used in Europe.Quote:

Both New Zealand and Australia were vulnerable to Japanese invasion since most of their servicemen were off in Africa or wherever trying to save the King's bacon.
And Japan did not surrender until after both bombs were dropped, August 14, 1945.
If we hadn't come to your rescue you'd either be speaking German or Japanese.
Don't try to rewrite history, we have enough of that here.
WWII was over 60+ years ago. Rehashing who did what and what methods were used to win the war have absolutely nothing to do with modern conflict..... The US has a larger military budget then the next 7 first world countries COMBINED!!!!! At the start of WWII the US had a standing military of less then 300,000 personnel and a very low industrial output of military equipment. Gearing up production, the draft, scrap metal and rubber drives, fuel rationing and many other things were essential. Not so today...we have military personnel stationed around the world, we have aircraft that can take off from their US bases, bomb any target in the world, and return to their home base. We have stockpiles of conventional and nuclear weapons stored all over the world. The last thing this country needs to do is get involved in the Ukraine conflict----someone tell me who's side we should be on, and what is our position on the issues? Or, for that matter, what are the issues that directly, indirectly, or even remotely effect the safety or well being of the US??
Not our country, not our continent, not our war, and none of our business to try to influence the outcome. Bring our troops home, secure our own borders, cut the military budget to a common sense level, and let's get this country employed, economically sound, and back on the path of Liberty and Justice for All.......
I will not get involved in this discussion, I was merely stating historical fact as it was written in the history books that were available to me in the 50's and history as it was taught to me while in Marine Corps boot camp in 1961.Quote:
