Either you accept conspiracy theory that 9/11 was inside job or you stop saying how USA is great at spying others. If they were those attacks would never happen.

they don't really tell us how many attacks they stopped though so all you can do is guess

I. The US funded the IRA but *now* there's a casus belli. Lol.

Correct me if you have the facts but the US Government and the United States never funded the IRA.  US citizens, particularly of Irish descent did send funds to the IRA.

I feel like the more condensed community means we get all the boring repetitive shit out of the way much quicker. Every thread is like old threads, only quicker.

And the shear number of nearly-identical threads to post in at the moment is leading conversation in bold new directions. When it was just one a month or one every couple of months everyone *had* to come say their usual speel, but we've just had a really big one so although an occasional cRPG hermit will surface and start posting like it's last week, the rest of us have transcended.

Also who here typed like this? I got massively nostalgic while penning this great post.

Its Rasfrenzy. Or, well, any other person with schizophrenia, basically.

>2016
>thinks the US hasnt infiltrated those submarines

Also 2016, thinking the UK wouldn't side with the US in said conflict. Even if they didn't the Royal Navy is a mere shadow of it's former self.

United States Navy   3,457,147 Metric Tons

Royal Navy   333,390 Metric Tons

Yup Trident is literally just there in case nuclear war breaks out. Otherwise they don't do an awful lot.

No point having a ton of aircraft carriers and battleships in such a situation.

But regardless of course our Navy is a shadow of itself. In it's glory it had the finances of the Empire behind it. There's no way the UK now would be able to finance a massive navy and it would also be pretty pointless. Warfare has changed too much to really warrant it.

Noobs.. controlling the sea is more important than it's ever been. The ability to neutralize everything  from thousands of miles away makes nukes unnecessary.

Carrier groups are mostly about soft power projection and assymetrical warfare, they would be sitting multi-billion dollar ducks in the event of war with other developped nations breaking out. It's not the 1940's anymore.

For everyone else except the US, yes. No one else is even capable of waging war on a global scale.

Carriers can strike from thousands of miles away. They also have around 30 other ships supporting them, ships that can also strike from thousands of miles away that are also designed to shoot down aircraft/ incoming missiles and hunt submarines. It's an insane amount of power projection in the form of endless barrages of missiles from the safety of  the ocean thousands of miles away.

Liberating the EU would be easy, we wouldn't even have to taint European soil with radiation because our conventional power projection is so insane.

Cause that has totally worked in the past...

Why is this stupid discussion still going on?
It's basic thrust is more applicable to scenarios involving China, US, Japan, S. Korea, Taiwan, Philippines, Vietnam and Malaysia than it is to the EU.

Are you talking about WW2?

[Sir_Hans]

Carriers are so passe.

We need satellites equipped with rail guns, lasers, and tactical nukes.
Shoot down every non-US or non-US-Ally satellite out of the sky and declare martial law on the globe.

Make America great again!

Make America great again!

Make all European men wear burkas as humiliation.
