    A war is fought on many areas. Why did you fight a war only we profited from? :)

    No, we did not. They don't want us there anymore today than they did yesterday. We need to acknowledge that Bush screwed the pooch on overthrowing Saddam. And that Clinton/Obama exacerbated the problem further by spreading it to Syria and Libya. A big giant "me bad" and go home and let them sort it out. No one in this administration or previous administrations or in the media, think tank or on this board has any clear path on how America can accomplish peace in the Mideast.

    You are quick to brag about a weapon that

    1) has never gone into production
    2) has never been used in combat
    3) despite what you claimed about traveling 500 mph, actually travels at HALF that speed. Look it up.
    4) It is considered a short range weapon. So talking about the "30 mile range" is meaningless.

    Americans don't just fight for simple profits. Only a truly morally disgusting nation (as apparently Germany is) does.

    It has not even been tested in actual conditions. And to think that one torpedo without striking a carrier will totally disable it. And that they are the only country that has one.

    We don't? please tell me what we are doing in the Mideast. This isn't 25 years ago when we imported that oil.

    By the reasoning you've repeatedly used in this forum then, Germany is responsible for the U.S. wars against Iraq then.

    Because U.S. tanks largely used German 120 mm guns to blast their way through the Iraqi Army.

    Thanks.

    It would be a great opportunity to test it. Even more so when iran does it.

    We are allied with usa so of course we cant test it ourself.

    How you think iran was able to jam, hijack and land an american drone?

    Nothing to do with profits. We just had reunion. All nations dropped reparation demands but yugoslawia not. Klaus Kinkel, travelled there to achieve a solution. Yugoslawia demanded reparations. When back in Germany, Kinkel reported to Kohl. The Yugos demanded hundreds of billions. This would have ruined us.

    I don't know. But what does that have to do with a total different type of weapon with totally different tech?

    No one is arguing for another middle east war. What point are you trying to make, is someone arguing for another middle eastern war?

    I’m generally in favor of stopping the slaughter of civilians. Certain variables may apply.
