@Ben_Natuf

nope, just resupply

Resupplying my enemy is an escalation.

[Ben_Natuf]

nope. just a continuation.

[Supreme_War_Pig]

I am starting to wonder if the Abrams is the pinnacle of tanks. We don’t even have prototypes of a next generation, just a bunch of money souping up the existing fleet.

[WuWei]

Name one better?

@Ben_Natuf

PFC mindset.

[Ben_Natuf]

nah, just not your mindset.

@Ben_Natuf

nah, just not your mindset.

Yah. You’re right, I don’t have a PFC mindset.

@WuWei

Name one better?

I don’t think that there is one. There are some tanks in the same class though.

[WuWei]

Such as?

[Supreme_War_Pig]

Merkava, Leopard. Maybe the T-90?

[WuWei]

@Supreme_War_Pig

Merkava, Leopard. Maybe the T-90?

What do you think happens if you put them on the field against the M1?

Best trained crew wins?

[WuWei]

Maybe.

I’m not so sure you’re that far off. Whether it was intentional or not it does seem China is benefiting greatly.

But oddly enough if we play our cards right…so would we.

We need to supply arms to nations so THEY can defend themselves against outside threats like China and Russia.

[conan]

I told you…China end game is Russian resources.

[conan]

That’s the reason why I’ve been saying we need to look forward to post Putin era.

I’m afraid we are lacking in that department.

@Orygun

Of course, recognizing Russian atrocities would mean the world shining a light on the Uyger issue in China too- so there is that.

Disagree…to much money to be made.

[conan]

@Axxowiz

That’s what sells there that and no sissy boys we are considered a bad influence. We are wasting time with Russia they are small fries compared to the threat of China.

precisely…and yet we fallen into European wants and needs instead of what’s in our best interest.

Ronald Reagan called the Soviet Union The Evil Empire and then later joked about them being outlawed and “the bombing starts on 5 minutes”.

t that time US/Soviet tensions were very high because of the Pershing II missiles.

Was Reagan stupid?

[Ben_Natuf]

no, but i have to question the intelligence of anyone comparing the situations
