Canada doesn't have nuclear weapons due to our own internal laws. Nothing to do with the US, and at the time when Canada decided not to house nuclear weapons in Canada, the United States was not too pleased.
Because we're mostly in the US, where we've been forced to spend our childhood years learning the writewashed details of every past war and conflict, but very little other history, and therefore demand that every competition have exactly one clear victor because that's what we're used to?
>br/>Last time a war involving the US had a clear victor was World War 2. So if that is what you get out of your history books, you have bigger issues to deal with.
North Vietnam didn't exist until they managed to liberate the North of their countries from French rule in the First Indochina War.
The Viet Minh were allies with the Americans and the Nationalist Republic of China in the war against Japan. When their country was going to be forcefully reoccupied by France after the war, they turned their attention to keep the French out of it.
There was no "South Vietnam" to invade, there was just a French Puppet government.
And you also evacuated your Army that was stationed in France to protect them from the Nazi invasion that was coming without actually even attempting to defend France.
A evacuation which would have resulted in annihilation of the British Army in Europe had the French Army not hold a defensive line until the evacuation could be completed against the Germans.
Kinda like how Syngman Rhee was installed into power by the Americans? Who ended up killing a few hundred thousand Koreans before the Korean War broke out to solidify his power base as well?
Close, the USSR wanted the PRC as the legitimate government, mainly for the extra pro-communist seat in the UN Security Council and if you have enough nuclear weapons to throw around, people tend to listen to you.
No they didn't. There is no evidence Stalin was ever in any way, shape, or form serious about invading japan.
Stalin agreed to help the Americans defeat the Japanese within 3 months of Germany's surrender/occupation at the Yalta Conference.
No instead, Russia had started to amass a large force of over 1.5 million men, over 5,500 tanks, and over 5,000 aircraft at it's borders, and in seven days, managed to push well into the Northern part of the Korean Peninsula, taking most of Japanese controlled Manchuria in the process before the surrender of Japan just a short week later.
No, the delay between the bombings of Hiroshima on August 6th and Nagasaki on August 9th, and the Emperor's surrender on August 15th, had little to do with the bombs, and more to do with the fact that other then the Mainland, they had nothing left to fight over.
A little knowledge of history would help before you keep posting useless information.
Or was the Boston Tea Party a little fraternity roughhousing?
The Boston Tea Party was about taxes, but it was about the Crown lowering taxes on commercial tea so much that it became cheaper then the tax free black market tea.
The Boston Tea Party was only about keeping the profit margins of the smugglers, who perpetrated it. The fact that Americans still think it's about the Crown's taxes onto the colonies being too much to bare, shows how much Americans don't even know their own history.
Lenovo branded laptops are the consumer line. The Thinkpads are still the business line and built quite well regardless of the changes that they have done to them. I say this as a constant ThinkPad user since the 600E.
Not exactly. An apology from a prime minister (and there are quite a few on the linked Wikipedia page) is like an apology from the President of the US. Prime Minister=head of the government. If you want one from the head of state, however, the emperor, then how about this one on the same page?
Prime Ministers are not the head of state in any country. Hence why they are still in a "ministerial role".
No, ShanghaiBill was correct that the current US Speaker would be equivalent to a apology from a Prime Minister. As that is the role most Prime Ministers have. The head of State being the King/Queen/Emperor or in some cases a separate President for countries that abolished their Monarchies.
Still, you have to be a idiot to use buckshot on deer. It doesn't really do a good enough job. The poster is current in that most hunters use rifle ammunition to hunt deer. It's much more effective and doesn't leave deer running around wounded skin deep like Buckshot does.
The Liberator "pistol" fired a.380 ACP round which has been shown to be a decent self defense round.
The Grizzly "rifle" fires a 22LR round which is useless in self defense situations.
Regardless of it's external shape, this is probably a regression in development of 3D printed firearms. Especially considering the load pressures, both the 380 ACP and the 22 LR are around 20,000 PSI to 25,000 PSI.
A real rifle round? Well your looking at anywhere from 50,000 PSI (such as the 7.62x51mm NATO aka M14/M24/SR-25 etc) to 62,000 PSI (such as the 5.56x45mm NATO, aka AR-15's/M-16's etc)..
Till they develop a plastic that can handle those stresses and be 3D printable, the most anyone will be able to do rifle wise, is to make a carbine using a pistol caliber. Although some pistol rounds such as the 9mm Parabellum (most common 9mm Pistol ammunition) is 39,000 PSI which will probably push any 3D printed material well beyond it's maximum.
The almost 1 billion people using Android and the nearly equal amount on iOS beg to disagree.
The total number of smartphone users worldwide is only around 1 billion.
Apple itself has not even passed the 350 millionth phone mark in it's total sales from day one. And that doesn't include how many people have went from the iPhone 3 to 4 to 5 now. Just total headset sales.
Realize the capital of South Korea is an hour drive from the DMZ. If war starts NK WILL hit it out of pure spite...
Do you know what the South Koreans and North Koreans both share?
Disdain for the American's meddling in their country from before the Korean War, because remember a American puppet Dictator started to kill off anyone who was deemed centralist to left wing before the Communist Party of Korea declared war due to those actions.
Followed by this never ended state of war, that multiple South Korea Dictatorships have kept up, working for the Americans. And even the current "Democratic" South Korea, who is feeling the American's pressure at every turn to keep this "conflict" going.
Remember Psy's Anti-American songs? That is just the tip of the iceberg for most South Koreans. A single death and lack of prosecution due to a American Imposed Status of Forces Agreement in Korea. Want to see what the South Koreans will do if a second American caused war happens? It won't be like the first time.
You'll be far more likely to see South Korea joining the North Korean side then North Korea using a nuclear weapon on Seoul.
MAD also only works when both sides can actually destroy eachother.
It works when both Russia and China wont let their boarder areas be radiated with nuclear contaminates due to a American strike without some kind of response.
Flight maneuvering was restricted to 5.5 g’s, 550 knots, 18 degrees angle-of-attack, and below 39,000 feet altitude, and was further constrained by numerous aircraft operating limitations that are not suitable for combat.
Actually, that whole report goes onto say that the F-35 isn't suitable for combat, and the F-35A, back when the JSF competition ended was supposed to become operational in 2011. It's current time frame doesn't put that goal till 2018 or there about. And that is without factoring the current year and a bit delay for operational software that they barely have started on.
So in your comment about "The Super Hornet does not have the capabilities of the F-35", I'll have to respond that a single pilot recreational plane such as a Cessna, according to that DOT&E report has the same capabilities of the F-35.

Which part of it? The one where Kurdistan is all but separated
That is a win, for people who have been opressed for centuries by the Arabs and Turkish.
Bush did the right thing by giving the Kurds a bit of space to be comfortable in without the centuries of prosecution following them.

Who said anything about supporting the Republican Party.
But you have to call both the pot and kettle black.
Like Libya was avoided? Give us a break.

Has China gotten to that level? I doubt it..

No, as a Canadian who has dealt with both Albertans and Texans ... Texans are much nicer people.
