    No offence but as tourist you go to famous cities and when you see San Francisco you are shocked. My girl actually was disgusted several times. The hotel ect was ok but as soon you left the tourist sites it was bad.

    That's the mistake, going to tourist hotspots. The USA is very large. Next time, try a beach in Florida. upload_2020-1-5_18-11-40.jpeg [​IMG] [​IMG] Just avoid hurricane and red tide season (fish kills on the beaches)

    I actually prefer mountains and forests.

    What i did like was those giant trees and pacific coast area, when you get away from the city.

    The water tight bulkheads of titanic were nothing like those on a modern warship. For one thing they didn't reach all the way to the deck. By the way the Titanic's displacement weight of 52310 tons is about 1/2 that of the Reagan.

    You don't deploy the carrier you deploy the aircraft... In air refueling about 1400 miles more or less.

    The bulkhead of those compartment didn't go all the way up, so as the compartments filled and the ship sank, water went over the bulkhead and filled the next compartment and so on. Also, the titanic had a riveted hull which is more susceptible to sheer off.

    Also, if you read the official report on the titanic you'll see that most of the survivors reported that the ship sank without breaking. James Cameron movie isn't a documentary and it's common for ship to break after sinking while going down.

    As I said, your knowledge of anything at this point is abysmal....

    And I worked 10 years as a welder for a ship repair company and my father about 40.

    So i guess there never was a point to bring them into the gulf at all.

    But in any case, sinking a carrier is just one of many options

    As I said the carrier isn't in the Gulf a couple of smaller ships attached to the carrier group are. A carrier group contains a minimum of five ships often more.

    Interesting I think our losses extend beyond anything Iran might do.

    From the moment of Trump's act, we have work to do to simply earn back what we've lost.

    There are articles discussing Putin's views on this. He's in position to play a part in regional peacekeeping that would include talks with our European allies, Iran, Syria, Iraq, at least. He's been especially moderate in his reactions

    We could see our influence in the enire region be affected negatively.

    We've just seen Iraq's parliament vote to have our military leave Iraq entirely. Our chances in Afghanistan may be in the process of being reduced as the Taliban and others watch our welcome in the ME weaken.

    Plus, it's clearly a hit to our security relationships in Europe to have the US take such a radical step without even notification. Of course, Trump didn't even notify the Gang of 8, but it's no surprise he would ignore congress.


    I suspect the percent of people from Pakistan all the way to Syria that would like to see us get the heck out of the region is pretty darn high right now.

    Yes, Texas is larger.

    But, it has less than half of Germany's GDP. Plus, Germany has staked out space in signfiicantly growing economic sectors, such as clean energy technolgy - where they lead the entire USA.

    With all due respect Iraq is controlled by the Shia. Currently none of the Sunnis are going to care most of them are damn glad to see Soleimanni exit feet first.

    Sobo should be banned from creating topics about the USA like I am not allowed to talk about Germany. All his topics are burning USA flags and undressing the Statue of Liberty. He has not since of reverence for what is a global force for good.
    This is all here say yet he is allowed to libel the glorious leader Trump to fit his anti America agenda

    You do know Germany's energy Bill's are 30% more because of clean energy and they live in tiny homes compared to the US correct?

    And who would want to live in a tiny country?

    It's not as if we have EVER done Iraqi Sunnis any favors.

    We're the ones who chose Maliki to lead Iraq! And, we did it because he was the Iraqi side of enforcement of "deBaathification". Subsequent to his new position, he began systematic elimintation of Sunnis from cities he saw as belonging to Shia - using his lethal militias as well as his shiny new military we gave him.

    So, what's your argument for Sunnis loving America???

    Germany is a great country.

    I'd point out that traveling around Europe is far easier than traveling around the US.

    American nuclear warheads can strike within 100 meters of their targets. So none of them targeted on Iran would come remotely near hitting any other nation.

    Wipe out about one tenth to one third of a nations population and you've effectively "wiped them from the face of the Earth".
