We were talking about North Korea earlier - not North Vietnam
Vietnam is no problem, they are off the nutters list, and have been since they sorted out Pol Pot in Cambodia.
Afghanistan has beaten everyone since Alexander.
If we had stuck to killing non Afghani Taliban and ignoring the poppies, we could be heroes out there.
Iraq is a problem.
I do not think that we (the UK) should have been involved
at the time I thought we could show the USA a little about crowd control
On the plus side it is providing ‘war brides’, so in 25 years time the USA will understand the Middle East
I suppose one could ship out anyone with an IQ over 100 and leave the rest to rot.
That might not be a bad solution
Africanization of Iraq - but with aircraft rather than fishing boats
If you have ever tasted an Iraqi shish kebab then you would welcome their dentists, doctors, engineers setting up next to you.
Perhaps the next form of pacification is to ‘brain drain’
Because as of this time thre is no evidence that Iran has done anything wrong. They say they are trying to get Nuclear power because it will extend the life of the limited oil they have. It fuels their economy.
I saw a technical program on Link tv describing the difficulty that they re having getting the program going. According to the tecchnical experts ,they are a long way from getting nuclear power going. They are no where close to bombs. They have demonstrated no effort to go after them either. It is not a simple thing to go from peaceful to Bombs.
They have according to the UN and international law a right to try to obtain nuclear power plants.Other cpuntries are allowed to make money helping them. It is capitalism after all.
And its in everyone’s best interestes for every country to have nuclear power, simply for the savings in fossil fuels. Not to mention, it’s cheap power.
Well how much do you know about USA foreign policy in 1975 ?
And how much do you know why the Neanderthals do war dances ?
Actually Neanderthals still exist, they generally play rugby and are so honest that the supposedly extinct Cro Magnons like to use them as intermediaries.
About 70% of Iranians are thick
About 1% are mad Ayotullahs
How would conventional warfare between China and Iran even be possible? How would either country’s troops reach the other’s territory? The U.S. and British navies control all the sea lanes.
If it came down to Iran vs. Russia, I suspect Russia would win, having a huge head-start in massive conventional forces – but it won’t come to that; the two are making friends now.
How is that supposed to make Iraq any more stable, peaceful, democratic or prosperous?
