    War in Israel

    I don't watch Hannity or Levin or really Fox News period. I watched the whole press conference and respectfully I think you have some ideological blinders on. Biden seemed barely able to speak and form words in multiple instances. I mean this is a man who was a notorious loudmouth himself and...

    War in Israel

    Not like Biden's. Trump has his version of word salad, yes, but not where you'd question his mental acuity. He just more comes across as a loud mouthed blabbering moron.

    War in Israel

    Actually, I'd say my instincts on them have been pretty rock solid. For example I suspected Biden would win the presidency and I also suspected came GOP would under perform in the midterms. What is your point here? I was a tot while Reagan was in office, so I didn't see him as President. I on...

    War in Israel

    Not me. I remember the media's various attacks on Trump, I don't remember any headlines about him having difficulty talking. Instead it was always about what he said, not any difficulty saying it or creating a word salad.

    War in Israel

    In terms of gaffes, I'd think no. But I'm pretty sure Trump hasn't had any problems with struggling to speak as far as I remember. During his presidency, the media's contention that the 25th Amendment should be invoked was not that he seemed to be in any mental decline but rather that he seemed...

    I said Sky News is biased and was just using them to post some videos of Biden...?

    Road to 350: What Does the US Navy Do Anyway?

    Yes, the Free World needs to try to operate as a cohesive integrated whole on these issues, as no one nation, even the U.S., can develop and manufacture everything. But the whole of the Western free world likely can or at least come a lot closer.

    War in Israel

    Had a feeling someone would comment about that. I agree wholeheartedly that Sky News is biased as all hell, but the links are not about any opinions of Biden but rather the video footage of him.

    Road to 350: What Does the US Navy Do Anyway?

    Also regarding the original topic, are our shipyards slow at building the Navy's ships due to bureaucracy and corruption or does it literally take that long to build a modern ship?

    War in Israel

    Nope, not trolling. Maybe I should have said multiple conservative scholars/historians take issue with the notion of his mental decline.

    War in Israel

    His various examples of word salad? He never used to do that.

    War in Israel

    In Trump's mind, I think it was. He/they were planning to increase forces in Poland.

    War in Israel

    You think Donald Trump didn't have input there, that it was primarily just his Secretary of Defense?

    War in Israel

    I would not say he has been a very effective President, in fact I'd say he has been an awful President in multiple ways, but on foreign policy I think he's been pretty good. I don't see how political experience will really help with foreign policy. Yes, and that's how I'd think it works. But I...

    War in Israel

    I don't know enough about that. I know that many conservatives say the notion that Reagan was suffering mentally near the end of his administration is more a discredited myth, not fact, but I don't know the details as I haven't researched that in depth. However, let's give your position the...

    War in Israel

    I would think the President has input into the strategy. They don't just say to their subordinates, "Make me up a strategy to follow." For example, the plan to pull forces out of Germany was clearly a strategy of Trump's.

    War in Israel

    Honestly, not to me. I get what you are saying about RW media,, but he does not strike me at all as the one in charge. He just is coherent enough to (usually) speak okay, and even then sometimes has issues. I remember him very clearly from his VP days and while he was a loudmouth and often a...

    Road to 350: What Does the US Navy Do Anyway?

    The problem with determining who is qualified to vote (whether through contributions or intelligence) is the same with applying it to who can be a parent or own guns, i.e. it can get very arbitrary and abused. Yes, whole lot of idiots own guns, a whole lot of people have children who absolutely...

    War in Israel

    No, that is not what I meant, my point is that he seems too mentally lost to be able to be making such decisions. I could be wrong though, but he clearly has had a mental decline. So I wonder if he is more a puppet figure in the way Brezhnev was.

    War in Israel

    Is it really Biden's leadership though? I'd think it's more his inner circle behind the scenes as he himself has multiple times said how he's not supposed to stay up there answering questions.

    Remember though that offers of peace were made before Netanyahu. ?

    War in Israel

    Not really. He is basically making a moral equivalence between the two, and I just love the nonsense about Islam says to not kill women and children, this from a guy from one of the most oppressive states to women's rights in the world. He engages in the typical act of the Israel haters of...

    War in Israel

    Israel sees the destruction of the terrorists as a victory, not the genocide of the Palestinians. The Palestinians however will not accept anything less than the complete destruction of the Jewish state as victory. I don't agree with that. While no side is perfect, I'd say the Israelis can much...

    "Ethnically-cleansing" Gaza? And the current political party in charge "fascist"? The BS is strong on this one.

    Road to 350: What Does the US Navy Do Anyway?

    To be fair though, neither did Donald Trump, and he was very conservative in many ways, such as Supreme Court and lower court judges.

    Hot new helicopter/rotorcraft news

    It's a slight tangent, but I've read SpaceX has encountered this with hundreds of subcontractors/suppliers, and as a result, has taken to designing a lot of its own components in-house, apparently often better and cheaper than the subcontractors' offering (s).

    Hot new helicopter/rotorcraft news

    Sometimes military equipment ends up having to be used in roles it wasn't originally designed for because the assumption that it would never be put into such conditions was wrong. For example, the Abrams battle tank lacking the ability to fire the machine gun from inside of the tank, because it...

    BTW, that goes both ways. I could just as easily say that Brett and I disagree on much, yet we both also disagree with you. Or that you and I disagree on much, yet to Brett we're both wrong.

    That isn't true, there's plenty of things stated by people here that I agree with. And if you don't want holes in your arguments pointed out, then you shouldn't post.

    War in Israel

    Yeah, but the teachers unions are also very corrupt and paying more to teachers won't necessarily improve education, as teachers often lack control over the classroom. Weakening Russia hurts China as well, as the two help one another. A stronger Russia means indirectly a stronger China. Also I...

    USN Showdown between Super Hornet and F-35

    This is actually a little humorous to me in that I apparently gave you guys the impression of being politically biased towards the Democrats??? I have become displeased with the GOP very much as of late but I am absolutely NOT any lefty Democrat either, for the exact reasons you stated, i.e...

    Yeah, but I don't think any what you would call decent people supported the IRA due to its terrorism.

    War in Israel

    So what you're saying is these people would rather make war and engage in terrorism over having been displaced many years ago (or their grandparents/parents having been displaced) as opposed to seek peaceful relations that could lead to much better outcomes for they and their children. So Arafat...

    War in Israel

    There are no tribes enslaved or having their rights withheld in this country I am pretty sure, so which tribes are you referring to? As for Israel, my take is just an observation of the history. What part do you disagree with? I agree Hamas should be wiped out with a minimum of civilian casualties.

    USN Showdown between Super Hornet and F-35

    USN Showdown between Super Hornet and F-35

    Diversity is also good because it brings points of view to a subject that otherwise would go unnoticed. For example, most buildings where shows for audiences are shown have bathrooms likely designed by men. The reason is because the women's bathroom is always the same size as the men's bathroom...

    I don't think approaching issues together is possible. There's too many issues on which both sides are diametrically opposed.

    War in Israel

    To a good degree, yes. It's not like they were mass slaughtered like the Eastern European and Russian peoples were by the Nazis. To have the level of maniacal hatred they have, and to have rejected such extensive peace offers, shows an EXTREME degree of intolerance. Again, we're not even talking...

    War in Israel

    Way to twist my words out of context. I'm not talking about the Vietnam War, I'm talking about after the Vietnam War when the North invaded the South. The international community was never upset about that as they've been about Israel. Nor were they upset about Kosovo or Crimea or Georgia in...

    War in Israel

    The Native Americans kept fighting while they were being treated very poorly by the white man. Since then, they've stopped. Ireland was oppressed by the British but no one supported the Irish fighting the British with brutality, for example the IRA.

    War in Israel

    I am fully aware of that, but that's kinda my point. If the current Palestinians want to argue the land is theirs, then so could the Israelis. And if the side that kicked my ancestors out made multiple peace offerings, including a willingness to give much of the land back and allow my people to...

    War in Israel

    Oh, yes I see my error there. I was tired from work and typing too fast, but yes, the lands weren't taken from Israel (other than Eastern Jerusalem). But Israel didn't go and take the Gaza strip and West Bank in response. They took them after being attacked again in 1967. My personal opinion is...

    War in Israel

    Yes, that is the excuse given, but that was generations ago. Nobody alive now experienced that. The equivalent would be a Native American tribe wanting to engage in brutal violence against Americans because their great grandparents had their lands taken. One would think the current Palestinians...
