Re: Scotland
europe is uniting with ever increasing vigour. A united Europe is only possible after all European nations have gained the right to be sovereign. So Scotland's or Catalonia's independence are necessary steps before unity can be achieved. European union can never be a colonial-type union. It has to ...

Re: The Future of the EU
Folks, My Dad was a zenophobe, like many of his generation. The only time he had been abroad was as a soldier in ww11. For some reason I failed to travel abroad until my mid forties. What an eye opener! To hear my Dad you would think that the 'fuzzy wuzzies' were lurking at Calais with spears and a...

Re: The Future of the EU
Rest assured ethinker, nobody is afraid of Europeans. Nobody. Why should people fear us? We have no Patriot Act and the NSA isn't European... Besides we don't usually kill children, women and other innocent bystanders... Mr. Perfect seems to think that the goal should be making people fear us, as i...

Re: The Future of the EU
Europe has no future. No money, no children, no dreams or ambitions beyond redistribution. A failed civilization. At this point can't say I'll miss it. You have absolutely no idea of what you are talking about. You would have said just about the same thing about China, if you had lived in the 19th ...

Justine Tunney's "nonviolent militia" idea is wacky. I agree that this is the right thread. War Nerd's comments are spot on.

Re: Japan v China
I guess shooting down a couple of Japanese planes would still be safe enough. I don't think so. Ten years ago, the outcome of an air or sea shootout between Beijing and Tokyo would have been certain humiliation of the former. Given Chinese military power buildup of the last decade, a shootout now w...

Re: Japan
I don't think that building aircraft carriers makes sense. In this age of supersonic guided missiles, they're sitting ducks. Modern air defense cruisers are able to intercept supersonic guided missiles. In the case e.g. of Franco-Italian Aster 30 air defense missile, the capability was demonstrated...

Re: Technical Issues and Problems
It seems that every post I've made after January 1 (until this one) has been removed. At least two posts have been removed (both from yesterday); but I think more.
