    no I am not blaming their wars among themselves on us, They will continue to do so for another 200 years. I am blaming the hate they feel to us on us. Why doesn't Vietnam hate us, because we stood away from there for 50 years and let them live in peace. It will be the same in the Mideast and anywhere else, stay out of there and when we go there we go as tourists spending money or in giving food and medical help.

    We will not be hated in the mideast until 50 years pass after we killed the our last Arab/Iranian. I say the sooner we start the better.

    Don't use the work liberal to describe the neo con dems that all they want to do is what Trump is doing but only their club calling the shots. Progressive Dems don't want to be over there at all

    No you can't. You (and others) talk about a one off event during a war game where a diesel submarine ALLIED with the U.S. got close to a U.S. carriers.

    Those kind of things happen. Especially during war games with allies where the U.S. never uses the full range of its capabilities. It isn't something a hostile nation would likely be able to repeat.

    beyond the fact that a few torpedoes won't sink something the size of a U.S. carrier.

    Of course we won 1999.

    The entire goal of Germany was to break Yugoslawia apart. Yuguslawia was only country after german reunion that demanded ww II reparations and had not signed a peace contract with us.

    No Yugoslawia, no problem.

    We have no Dieselsubmarines. They are powered by hydrogen fuel cells.

    A cavitation torpedo reaches 800 mph under water. It can be fired from 30 miles away. Once fired, it cant be stopped.

    I dont know, does your carrier still swim with a broken keel?

    The people who live there don’t get a say? They’re actually the one who are paying.

    All you had to do was actually read what I quoted from the person you tried to defend.

    Also telling how conservatives support 3500 more troops heading back to the mideast to start another "neverending" war...

    Yes. Your assumption was you screwed up and didn't read the original quote where the claim was that conservatives support this.

    Next time read more carefully.

    Wrong.

    And, is that sort of snarky incivility really necessary?

    Anyway, can you PROVE that "Conservatives" DON'T Support Trump taking out Soleimani?

    diesel, hydrogen fuel cells, either way not nuclear.

    Our carriers can deploy Nixie torpedo decoys. Two at a time.

    German participation in the NATO air strikes against Serbia were a joke. It was well established that each continental NATO nation combat sortie required the support of no less than THREE U.S. aircraft in order to be conducted.

    Sobo is claiming a German "victory" in a conflict where the U.S. did all the heavy lifting and German participation was a joke.

    Hydrogen fuel cells are superior over nuclear ones since they are silemt and dont emitt heat. Thats why they cant be detected.

    Again, can your carrier operate with a broken keel? Nixie torpedo decoys dont work on a cavitation torpedo. Its based on vision and other data. Since it is sorounded by a cavitation bubble it cant detect radar or audio signals.

    So can your carrier operate with a broken keel?
