I respect your answers, but we are talking in circles. It's not about intercepting, it's bout seeing what flies in half o Russia and making a surprise first strike impossible Now, unless Moscow can build a giant stealth generator that hides everything that flies up to the Urals, I really don't...

Meh....and still, we are here, after 1000 years of attacks, occupation, revolts, disasters and wars. With our distinct culture and nationality. That won't change, no matter with whom we allied ourselves with Edit: Russia also happens to pay very, very poorly :) Earlie detection = I can...

You don't understand - the point is to detect a launch earlier, giving more times for a response and an edge in responding . It's not about shooting them down (now, with todays technology)

Well, it had nothing to do with Iran anyway, the whole point of it was mainly the radars as they give some precious extra minutes of warning in case of a nuclear launch. For Romania - the decision will stay, those bases act as a tripwire against any Russian adventurism, guaranteeing the...

You guys talk like if EU is one giant country...:ashamed:

Good move by UAE & Saudi :agree: They don't need them, nor will they ever use them, but 10 billions ain't much if you want to help secure USA's support (ain't much if you have it, that is) In this, the Gulf states are playing much smarter than others: they know how to use their oil $ to the...

Da, acum iti inteleg atitudinea. Eu n-am nimic personal cu ei, am avut bunicul prizonier in Siberia din '44, dar era razboi..aia era treaba...in rest, toata lumea merge pe interes, si noi am tras paiul ala mai scurt, ca ne-am ales cu ei ca vecini. Apropo, nu-ti dau "thumb down" pt comenturi...

Not really, you views are your own- mine can be characterized as "very circumspect" when in comes to Russia Nu sunt de acord, parerea mea e ca nu obtinem nimic in felul asta - vrem nu vrem, avem o ditamai tara lanaga noi, care detine inca destul influenta in Moldova, si care nu o sa dispara...

Relax, nothing new under the sun, this is happening since forever :smart: Btw, Flamer is Romanian, he can speak the language (and I doubt you can find a Saudi that can), he is just a tad hostile towards russians :ashamed:

You are very wrong on that one, the "blood tribute", for one, was nothing "normal". On the OP question, from what I know it was a matter of many factors, genetics didn't matter (nor religion that much). It's not that that they were better warriors than either the Europeans , the C. Asians,or...

No quite, he was assassinated 2 years after the death of Radu, when he was about to begin his third reign. Little known fact is that he was attacked by Mehmed the Conqueror in 1462, and managed to defeat him - although that and the continued attacks took a heavy price, costing him his second...

:ashamed: Uf, my bad...I read your list last night and got hung up on "Caesar" I would actually put ol' Genghis on any list regarding Eastern/World rulers.He and Alexander had more impact on the world that many others already mentioned Maybe this should be split in to "top leaders" and...

Nice list, but for the western part may I suggest Octavian (maybe in place of Cesar) and Alexander The Great added? Octavian was, imho, an administrative genius, the best emperor Rome ever had, and one of the top empire builders in history. Alexander should be in for his charisma alone, what...

Then give them land, unified land, and put a giant fence on your side of the border. Leave them to their Arab neighbors and their own means. Let the ones who want to be part of Israel stay, the other ones may leave to their own state.If what you wrote is true, the chances of integration are 0...

Meh, I can understand your anger, but collective punishment isn't either right, or the answer. Like it or not, they are not going away, and you as a Jew should know first hand why what you wrote is wrong and how it feels. Throw the little scumbag who did the killing in jail for the rest of...

As my ancestors were subjects of the Ottoman Empire fore some time, I can clearly say we all regarded it as a symbol of evil and oppression and fought as hard as we could to bring it down. Different people have different views :P On the topic, I agree to with the article, Turkey should not...

Rip to the poor kid. All you lot who is cheering for what the Palestinian moron did should remember that the poor kid wasn't wearing uniform and wasn't engaged in combat when he was kidnapped and killed. He was just a 20 year old working in a restaurant, who thought he could trust a...

Yeah, I know, but still..they might have a harder time pinpointing our exact location based on radio waves (or detecting the waves in the first place). On the other hand, we have a freking physical map mounted on a probe whose shouting our location away to anyone and everyone. Chances for...

Am I the only one who thinks this is really bad news ? FFS, we're like small children shouting our location in a dark forest..:hitwall:

Leave it as a museum. Maybe set aside a small prayer area (or select a day) for any Christians who would like to visit & pray
