Current actions in the Middle East

@al3xanderthegr8

People say that carriers are obsolete because:

Hypersonic missiles are getting increasingly more powerful, to the point where it isn’t possible or economical to defend a carrier. Not only that, hypersonic missiles might have a longer range than carrier aircraft in the future (based on my own research, the F-35 still has a longer combat radius than most current missiles, though that’s because the Zicron doesn’t exist).

Submarines are getting quieter, to the point where they can easily destroy carriers.

Carriers are too big of a target. Some people use this argument and extend it to all surface ships.

If you’re curious, I personally disagree that these developments are too big of a problem, making them obsolete. Just my opinion.

People say tanks are obsolete because:

Tanks are easier to be targeted by anti-tank missiles, which have longer range than tanks.

Tanks are too expensive.

Aircraft have gotten more powerful to the point where they can replace the role of tanks.

Keep in mind my summary might be wrong, this is just what it seems reading some articles saying they’re obsolete.

@Young:

I know it’s not middle earth, but the trolls in “Willow” were awesome, so thats my choice (stupid answer eh?).

Whenever you blast one with a magical wand great things happen! The bloody meatball with dragons heads was awesome.

He is a pro-driver but… Where are the Police?  That was a School bus!!

You can find reprints of the story at a reasonable price. Usually around a big anniversary the first issue gets a reprint edition and your local comic shop likely has a couple in their back issue bins.

DC has a terrific line of reprint editions called Archive Editions for most of their books.

They are hardbound with glossy paper. You can usually pick them up on ebay at a discount from MSRP.

since the population has little fear of war compared to Europe, the people would undoubtedly support such a war by a majority or at least 50/50.

i didnt read every post but this comment just makes me laugh.
Japan doesnt want to go to war. The state in their constitution that they will never attack only out of selve defense. The 100 Japanese military are there just to do reconstruction and are portected by the dutch in the region. Only This has caused an criticism. I dont know why you think Japan would gladly go into a war and double their army? Yes some politicians want to lose that law. but i dont see this happening any time soon. They may alter it to assist in peacekeepers, but joining a war i dont think so.

They can withdraw men from S-Korea, Germany, Japan but i think this is already done.
oh and if the US doesnt attack unilateral all the time it wont need this much troops.

@Grigoriy:

TX is either Texas or Thanx-you be the judge. :P

OK.

Texas.

I’ve seen some odd ‘Thank yous’ on this site…
tanks…arm…armour…10-Q, just to name a few.

Question, I don’t know the answer. Is China’s Government Elected?

Yes, most of the positions in the government are based on election, though often these elections are rigged. There hasn’t been once been a successful and smooth transfer of power (usually ending in bloody coups) since it went communist

China is experiencing more economic growth because it has become a combination of Communism and Capitalism.

I wouldn’t exactly call it communist. More like socialist.
