    Arabs in talks with Washington to form a Security Pact.

    If this was to legitimately provide stable support for all Muslim countries I would support it....but considering Israel can be a potential member and you have the Salafi wahabbis on it as well, with Trump in power I would advise Pakistan to deepen ties with her Iranian and Afghan neigh ors...

    F-22 vs J-20 - aka USA-made jet fighters vs China-made jet fighters

    That would be due to the AA and AAA systems as well as many other factors not the J-20 alone. And again, J-20's pilots don't have any combat experience like America's. Obviously with a home field advantage the J-20 is going to win, just like if the J-20 was brought to America it would be shot...

    F-22 vs J-20 - aka USA-made jet fighters vs China-made jet fighters

    The f-22 has been used extensively in the field and is generally sought by most countries, albeit the F-35 is replacing it & despite the bad investment st the start, it's set to be the most advanced multi-role in the world yet. That said the J-20 has no combat experience where as the F-22 does...

    Hello, from America

    No worries my family are very traditionalist Ukrainians/Russians & Poles so I know how you may feel. Many of my friends experienced same things as you, I myself am guilty of doing it to others lol

    Hello, from America

    I'm an Orthodox Christian but I've befriended many Muslim people during my stay at college and they're warm people, but I realized I don't know much about the religion and figure it would be good to learn more as people seem to sensationalize it on both sides.

    Hello, from America

    Hello! I'm most fluent in Ukrainian, I would say I'm between intermediate and advanced for russian but there's still some struggle with it sometimes and it's usual minor differences with slang and such. Yes this is why I wonder ehat people mean by what a Russian is. Usually they mean western...

    Yet another Russophobic Hollywood movie. This time pitching WW3 to the big screen.

    Most Americans actually want better relations with Russia, the older folks are the ones who are Russophobic (largely due to Cold War just like Russia today, mostly older people hater America but younger ones want closer relations). I don't think many Americans will think Russia is evil after...

    Hello, from America

    Okay I will look for that thread. Although I'm majority Eastern European descent and a little German, I won't let it bother me too much. Most people I've met here so far have been very friendly and level-headed so I usually ignore the loud minority who make themselves look like fools for...

    Hello, from America

    Sadly the USA lacks on social aspects but that's slowly changing. Unfortunately we also have lots of radicals both left and right drowning out the more level-headed people in the center. Largely in due to our politics and growing distrust among the government

    Hello, from America

    Yes, many polish people live in Michigan (our state has the largest amount of polish people in the country). So I'm aware of how Poles can be seen, many of my friends have stories their family told them after fleeing during cold war. My mom's side has lived in America a while but my dad's side...

    Hello, from America

    Hey thanks for the wrlcome! I have a few friends in Queens, I'm from Detroit Michigan but when I visited NYC the people were rather welcoming for the most part! How would you say Queens has changed? Is it as bad as the 90's still or has it made a turnaround like Harlem?

    Hello, from America

    It was Eisenhower indeed, Here's an excerpt: I think he made many good points, the Cold War and fall of the European Anglo & Francois Empires meant there was a massive power vacuum in the West to be filled which America took. Creating NATO and the current situation in opposition to Russia...

    Hello, from America

    Thank you! I agree America has some good things it does regarding Counter-Terrorism, but it also does some very bad things like funding rebels for our war industrial-complexes financial survival. The biggest issue with America is usually internal though, our people are rather divided right now...

    Hello, from America

    Thank you for the warm welcome! I think it's always good to have differing opinions on things, media often plays people against each other!
