I'm sure both sides will prefer a diplomatic solution. China though would be gravely mistaken to think the US would do nothing if it decided to start shooting at Philippine navy ships. And China has just as much to lose as the US economically. China is going to miscalculate if it isn't careful...

On the US side yes, the military has to account to congress for the money spent. as far as money being paid to the pakistani highway authority would that not be the responsability of those actually doing the transporting? who's trucks are tearing up the road. and would not that cost be figured...

On the US side yes, the military has to account to congress for the money spent. Not sure on the Pakistani side of things what your procedures are if any.

Yes I am well aware of the steel marble comparison.I did say smaller then a hummingbird I believe. Let me put it's aproximate rcs in mathematical terms 0.0002m2. Sorry but most SAM and aircraft radars are going to have trouble with that. I will defer to Gambit who has more detailed knowledge...

The South China sea dispute has a much better chance of causing a shooting war between China and the US then Taiwan. The area is a major shipping artery for world trade. and the Phillipines is considered to be of major regional strategic importance. The US will not let China simply make a...

The problem of the roads has nothing to do with the billions paid to Pakistan to transport supplies. But more to do with the Pakistani elite pocketing the money rather then fix the roads.

Your theory sounds good on paper but in reality BVR missiles agianst an F-22 won't work. Your problem is first having a radar capable of detecting it. Which considering its RCS value the radar in question needs to be able to distinguish something smaller then a hummingbird through all the...

What airforce Iran has isn't much. You say "every anti US nation in the region", mind telling me which regional nations those are? And why you think they wouldn't stand on the GCC's side in a shooting war.

I highly doubt that SA would go after a hydro electric dam. Any air operations would be directed at air dominance, military targets, command and control, and dual use military industrial facilities. And don't worry about targets in the north becuase if SA is involved in a shooting war with Iran...

I understand the differences between European socialists and Communists. I also understand how high the tax rates are in France especially on businesses. And the socialists championing of all the social welfare and entitlement programs france has. If france stopped taxing business so much and...

The 104th fighter wing of the Massashusetts air national guard fly 20 F-15C's Which are air superiority fighters. Another 20 fighters from the 18th wing in Kadenna Japan are the C model as well only these have more upgraded radar. The F-15 has recorded at least 100 combat victories with no...

I guess that means Pakistan was actually in on the Osama raid since an RQ-170 was circling Abattabod for months?

do you know of a european socialist Government that was pro business? Expect more taxation to pay for social programs and less money available to businesses for investment and expansion.

The HD in this video is pretty impressive. I don't think I have seen any similar type footage taken before. would love to see some F-22 jockies do the same.

what they don't mention is the large number of F-15's the F-22's are deployed along side. They are practicing joint operations designed to establish air domination over Iran.

This unit has currently been deployed along with a national guard F-15 squadron and the 6 F-22's to bases near Iran. 2012 RAYTHEON AWARD VIDEO.wmv - YouTube This video was created to commemorate the 67FS winning the 2011 Raytheon Trophy for outstanding aerial achievement, given to the...

First there will not be a collapse in global trade becuase of Iran. trade will continue around the world as long as there are consumers for those goods. There would be a certian spike in oil prices initially till one of two things happen. People realize that there is still plenty of oil to meet...

Iran won't be able to choke off oil supplies for very long through the straights of Hormuz. and ther are plenty of other sources to pick up the slack in supply. China is already looking at alternative sources for oil in the event of war. Also China is not dumb when it comes to business economics...

Space based sensors have evolved as well. It isn't like the old Gulf war days when saddam was firing scuds. Now the newest generation of infrared sensors can not only detect the launch but track the launcher in realtime once it's been detected.

What makes you think wars can't be fought with high debt to GDP ratios? The US fought WWII with a much higher ratio (110%) and we know the outcome there.
