    Russian Opinions On Us Fighting Vehicles

    There were several instances where Abrams' were taken out by Iraqi tanks during the Gulf War. And tanks such as the French LeClerc, British Challenger II, and German Leopard II could go toe-to-toe with an Abrams any day of the week, while the Italian Ariete, Indian Arjun, and even the South African Olifant could probably give it a run for its money in some circumstances. This is, of course, ignoring the Russians and Chinese - whose tanks aren't as crappy as most people say and of course are present in huge numbers. If you want smart tank design, ask the Israelis - their Merkava, designed for defence (including urban) is slow but is immensely tough. But, as everyone on these forums seems to think anything having to do with the US simply MUST pwnzorz, you're all going to reply "Dude you don't know what you are talking about Abrams RULEZ" -Comrade Alexeo

    Guess That Aircraft, Part Dos

    Why, oh why, does everyone on these forums hate me so?

    Guess That Aircraft, Part Dos

    You can submit planes to me and you'll get credit. I just don't want this topic to go out of control - which it is now.

    Guess That Aircraft, Part Dos

    No, its NOT Opals' turn (no offense Opals). We're still on Series 2 here. I'll give you guys a hint: The first two planes (those that haven't been guessed) are Russian. Once again, I ask that only I post planes so to keep this topic from going out of control.

    War!

    And when Hitler invaded Russia, he should have packed winter clothing :P

    War!

    That's possible Zero, but its evolutionarily counter-intuitive - why would you have complex life forms and no single-celled? Here on Earth, microbes are the REAL dominant species on the planet (WOTW's message methinks). They're absolutely EVERYWHERE. Their immune systems just weren't prepared for our bacterial friends. In their arrogance, they didn't bother to look into this - and so it spelled their doom.

    A Ghost?

    Oh come ON, that's obviously a person in a cloak. You can even see his feet! And if someone mentioned this earlier, I didn't bother to read through the entire thread, so...

    Guess This Weapon

    Are you referring to the Breda? Because that's different isn't it?

    Happy Birthday America

    Heh, personally I don't find the world of Dune to be that farfetched... I can imagine a House Bill Gates, a House J.P Morgan, a House Kennedy or House Bush... You've got a point there with the "political victory" except for one big thing - they succeeded in becoming Communist. U.S.: "Never fear Europe, WE'LL stop Communism across the world, and we'll start in Vietnam!" France: "Beware U.S., their guerilla tactics are-" U.S.: "NONSENSE! We're much more powerful than you, we can do it with one hand tied behind our backs blindfolded while hopping on one foot and singing the Star Spangled Banner!" (one decade later) U.S.: "Um... yeah... so, we've decided to do this thing called Vietnamization..." Europe: "Shit..." Well of COURSE the DS forums aren't here for political DISCUSSION - they're for uneducated banter bashing France and either hating the US with a deep loathing (if you're not American) or defending the US with the passion of Southern conservative hillbillys (if you're American). I guess as an American I'm violating the forum rules! :D -Comrade Alexeo

    They also suffered a horrific number of casualties and had their economy and infrastructure absolutely decimated. I imagine that the time it took to rebuild their ownt country negated the effect of their propaganda. To a Communist dictatorship, though, how much of that matters?

    Thank you Captain Admirison, for helping me out here. Absolutely right - this dinky little country forced US to actually use things like napalm and we STILL LOST. But I have to disagree with you CA - the Vietnam War was a MAJOR victory for the North, beyond their wildest dreams. They not only established their control, they did so while stopping a SUPERPOWER! The propaganda opportunities are infinite!

    You have one of the world's superpowers go into an obscure Asian country to stop the spread of Communism. They have all the technological advantages on their side, and they're supported by the world's richest country. So the VC and NVA, guerilla experts no doubt but doing most of their damage with AK-47's and booby traps, dragged out the war for a decade, and forced US, the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, to fricken WITHDRAW. Just examine that concept for a second. We never came close to winning, and decided to not look bad by embracing "Vietnamization" - or basically making the South Vietnamese just fight the damn thing themselves, after all, its their war, we've got better things to do. So we just up and LEAVE, the South is easily conquered, and Vietnam becomes a Communist country that, to our utter amazment, HASN'T COLLAPSED YET! They made us look stupid and cumbersome. A country that can turn the entire world into radioactive glass but can't stop some guys with tripwires and stolen grenades. War isn't just about numbers - any computer gamer - hell, ANYONE with half a mind - should realize that.

    You've got to be kidding here... you actually think we WON in Vietnam?!

    Please. You're only twisting the statement around to glorify the United States.
