Most people here rail agianst the Government. But the Government could not have agreed to open the supply route without the backing of the Army.

No it just underscores your obvious lack of understanding of those laws and thier requirements. A nice corporate compliance website is: U.S. Export Controls - Difficulty of Trading with Syria, Cuba, Iran, Sudan "Some of the best advice for complying with complicated U.S. export control...

Iran is under sanctions and tech companies especially want no part in being in violation of those sanctions. I personaly know of a company that was dealing with Dell computers tech support on a laptop that was having problems. The company IT tech casually told the dell tech that the computer was...

You are flat wrong! The deficit is not 14 trillion the debt is 14 trillion. The yearly deficit is around 1.3 trillion. That is what needs to be cut and brought into line. Total yearly US tax revenue is currently around 2.3 trillion.

If you knew anything about the world economy you would know thats not true. Contrary to what you may believe China only holds a minority stake in U.S. debt and most of that is in SHORT TERM bonds. China continues to buy US bonds because they make money, it gives them a certain amount of...

Money is approved in defense budgets for specific things. it is not just 1 big pool of money that can be spent for whatever. if more money is needed it can be transferred from another area or a supplemental budget requested. but both require approval from the relevant authority. This is unlike...

China isn't going to be rushing out and buying more Iranian oil anytime soon. The entire world is awash in oil, the oil market is glutted. and the economies of many countries are in a down turn which will decrerase oil use even more.

I am actually not bothered with it. It was Russia who has been bothered by it. Protesting european missiled defense when they already have it in place on thier side. As far as I am concerned let both sides have it.

What intercept tests have been conducted who knows. Russia is not quite as open about such things as western countries. But the manufacturer claims it can intercept short and medium range ballistic missiles. just as the SM-6 hits short and medium range ballistic missiles. are you saying they are...

Yes and the S400 is a fairly similar system to the SM-3 Which which the US is deploying in Europe is it not? Both are effective agianst medium range ballistic missles.

Wile the video could be real I don't see a low flying jet in the video and the people and weapons fire can be easily staged. If the jet was low flying and close to shore where is it in the video? The Phantom is not a small aircraft and would be easy to spot at 2.5km

There are other countries that have high oil production right now. Brazil, the U.S., Canada, ECT. Iran's oil is easier to replace then you would like to admit.

Russia most likely see's the writing on the wall showing the fall of Assad.
