Oh, and the british Challenger II tank is the best. 8) :lol:


No it isn't. The Fear Factor is not as high as it is for the Abrams. But it is a fine tank. In the late Gulf Wars, the Abrams made junk out of Saddam's Russian tanks.

The all time greatest tank historically is the Soviet T-34 which made scrap metal out of the vaunted Panzer at the Battle of Kursk.

Ragnarok & Roll baby. This place is going to hell in a handbasket anyway. We need a few fewer Urban Centers and criminal parasites.

Ok, maybe not an all-out attack but definitely confront the US militarily to test some of their new naval weapons systems.... :P
The US hasnt had much of a military equal since the end of the cold war and I personally think that this should be changed.


Did you see what we did to Baghad with GPS guided munitions?

Our planes are better than any other military aircraft.

Our tanks are the best in the world.

Our shoulder launched missiles (the Stinger) lead to the defeat of the Soviet Union in Afghanistan and eventually to the demise of the Soviet Union.

It would be a very bad move for any nation to take us on in battle. We would cream them.

The one area that the U.S. is positively numero uno in is weapons of both mass and tactical destruction. We excel in Death.

And get CREAMED ourselves!
Russia has the largest land-based ballistic missile system on Earth and as of 2008 has 1,576 Nuclear Warheads that can be delivered to US soil via ballistic missile! To seriously suggest that we would "cream" Russia without being destroyed ourselves is just plain Dumb.

If out tanks tried to cross into Russian terrority they'd be vaporized with tactical nukes!

gad...why all the warfare? We're trying to get peace so we can gut the army to pay for the tax cuts...;)

It did tickle me that Putin warned Obama recently 'not to try socialism, we did, and look what happened to us'...;)

You think France should be included in the Axis of Evil.

(whoops on the Russia thing. That estimate was made by projecting it didn't improve by 2050, and there is some sign of improvement in the population over the past few years. Still, they have around a half what the Soviets had at their disposal).


:lmao:

I actually love France. Especially French Bread and the Statue of Liberty, that woman is all French, you can tell because if you look under the robe, she doesn't shave her legs.
