I see, thanks for the clarification

What plane do you think can handle '100s' of missiles coming towards it? The F-35 works off the assumption that Situational awareness is life, and first sight first kill. Why do you think this doesn't apply to conventional warfare?

Not even Canada is rejecting it, they are pussyfooting around but will buy it in the end. They haven't even stopped paying into the program. Meanwhile Norway is ordering more.

Yes Yes, the big letters make it even more true! Chinese submarines so stronk we can never match it! China is queen of the Sea!:rofl:

If I didn't know better, I'd say you've started with a conclusion and are looking for anything to justify it. Trump is in a death spiral in case you havent been following US news, how isolated and small this group is considered will depend on how badly Trump loses (it isn't a question that he...

I don't know where you get that from, the mainstream media tends to make a bigger deal about it than it really is. The fact is there is more than enough demand for US debt, so its more than manageable. When it comes to debt to GDP ratio the US is middle of the pack...

According to its web page, its intended against anti-ship missiles, but can also be used against ships in a pinch http://www.raytheon.com/capabilities/products/sm-2/

A-10 in an air war? Is this guy on drugs?

My question is who decides what is trolling and what is parody and opinion? For example, what is 'grossly offensive'? I can easily see how this could be abused if those who decide are absent of integrity. For example, is it possible that riffing on the queen or the Prime Minister would...

to be fair, I dont think China will really extort the Philippines beyond the goals already stated. It would be counterproductive to China's goals in the SCS seeing as Duterte is essentially groveling to them. I think they will be fairly generous assuming Duterte continues groveling, but of...

Well the short term experience with alcohol, it really improved the coffers of organized crime

Smoking set to be banned across Philippines The ban will emulate that already in place in Davao City, where president Duterte was mayor Smoking will be banned in indoor and outdoor public spaces, including inside people's cars Getty A nationwide smoking ban is set to be implemented across...

Well This pretty much ended the election, not that he wasn't already losing. Look forward to Mrs. Clinton as our first Mrs president. Republicans are fleeing a sinking ship now. That said Hillary can't rest on her laurels, she should campaign the best she can and create as big a victory as...

If the Philippines were a puppet Duterte would have never come to power, and if he had come to power he would never have been allowed to pursue the path he s pursuing. Carrot and stick is basic diplomacy, hardly puppeteering, unless you now consider the Philippines a Chinese puppet given the...

Im skeptical to say the least. I think he has built himself a personality cult at this point, I'd be amazed if he actually left office at what was supposed to be the end of his term. If things get worse for the Philippines, even without the US doing anything, he will simply lash out at the US...

tantrum? Freedom to pursue ones own path doesnt mean freedom from consequences, thats the same in any democracy. This shows that all the claims that the Philippines was a US puppet were so much BS, but we should still respond in the best way to protect our interests. In my view, that's cutting...

If Duterte is planning to ally with Russia and China, what the F is he asking for US missiles for? Im glad that we refused to sell even semi-modern weapons to the Philippines that got his panties in a wad, as it is they are a potential security risk. Funny enough, Duterte is currently talking...

:partay:

I think the strategic value of the Philippines to the US is overstated, the US was able to project power into the SCS for decades without a base in the Philippines, so how strategic is it really? Seems more like a feather in a cap. Good to have with you, but not really necessary if need be. As...
