The numbers just don't add up. Also according to that list Russia spends only a few times more than Iraq does. Does that mean that Iraq would stand a chance against Russia in a war? That's laughable. China's allies include the signatories to the Shanghai Cooperation Pact and BRIC countries...

No I mean he takes even that to an extreme. I mean he'd probably want to revert to tribal life with bartering for basic foodstuffs and no governance whatsoever. I mean come on.

China has quite a number of powerful allies. They really should not be underestimated. And as far as we're concerned they're more valuable an ally than the US.

You're such an anarchist/libertarian.

Australia is not the exception just because it is not the example. Australia did play a part in Afghanistan and Iraq, yes. It's common sense. a) We are not in the middle of nowhere. This isn't the 1800s. The world is alot smaller than you think. b) We have minerals and resources. c)...

Good sir, I question your manliness due to this comment.

Resources useful for winning war.

If it ever got to a point where things were that bad they would probably be over stretched or might even be on opposing sides to us.

Because they're doing the shit stirring and are probably the most hated country in the world. Also we should be capable of defending ourselves atleast to some extent we can't rely on America for our defense.

1) We've been going around fighting wars of conquest which do not concern us. 2) Not fit enough. :mad1:

katie I'm going to explain this fully so that you might understand as I do the necessity of such a conscription as I outlined (one which exists solely for defensive wars). We have a military because we do not exist as a sole entity on this planet. There are other countries which will not...

Why are there so many ignorant people such as yourself considering information on this topic is so readily available? Why don't you research it or just learn the basics before spouting this nonsense? Islam has no requirement for women to wear either the hijab, niqab or buqa set up they are...

In that case why do we pay our active military if it's all just a hypothetical threat? If it's because there is truly a possibility of war then there is no way that the lives of those serving in the military are any less valuable than those they defend. The fact that we would be so vastly...

There is more than enough time. Better to err on the side of safety. What's the matter though katie are you so wholly opposed to being taught how to fire a machine gun? or being taught how to protect your life in the event that a foreign entity invades your country and seeks to destroy...

That often is the case with any war. If you're willing to relinguish that which you own and your status within the country as many have done in the past in order to preserve your life then nobody could truly fault you for making that decision. I know my parents did similarly escaping from the...

Miz Janani the problem with wars is that they exist for a reason. Two states with conflicting self interests fight wars in order to see which can come out victorious and have their self interests enacted through the usage of force. The only way to prevent war is to end the concept of...

You seem to be oblivious to the posturing which is going on in the "Asian Pacific" at present so there is no use in explaining further. Basically we're in the middle of a massive dick measuring contest between China and it's allies, and the The U.S/Japan and it's allies. We need a fucking...

I don't believe you fully understand the concept of a defensive war. defense: intended or appropriate for defending against or deterring aggression or attack There is no such thing as a "good" act of aggression. If enough people feel as you do then the country should and would change...

Yes, WWI should never be repeated. Along with the usage of scapegoats such as defensive treaties and poorly constructed casus bellis to justify the ruling classes bloodlust and desire for conquest and power.

I'm not suggesting that the ruling class would march the 'proles' into battle on a leash into massacre after massacre in a bid to secure resources and curb communism in Asia as has been our recent history. Such acts are deplorable and would go against everything I believe in. But as to the idea...
