It’ll be interesting to see if China’s mostly unproven but massively growing military will be a paper tiger like Russia or an actual capable force. They’re building up American style carrier groups and fifth generation aircraft.

Who could possibly doubt this? Sectarian violence was the overwhelming cause of the violence in in the ME, and pretty much always has been. I understand the US disrupting the power balance caused a lot of said sectarian violence, but the fact remains that arabs have always been their own worst enemy.

If a guard at Auschwitz asked to buy a bullet from you, you'd quote the price and call it a day. No blood on your hands, no sir.

Are you actually too dumb to know that most all of the gullets fired were made for Soviet-era weapons?

The thing about air craft carriers is their time has probably came and gone.

Considering every major naval power in the world is still building them, that’s unlikely.
