Chinese Army Video

Jump back to quoted post11 May 2013, 18:12 PMBartonPL

after years of civil war, humiliation from Western countries, 8 year war against Japan... they are now a true superpower with biggest army ever, 1 billion citizens, well equipped and extremely trained soldiers and what is more important - they don't owe money to anyone, if they would ask now Mericans to return their money to them, what Merica would say? I heard they had plans to give them some technologies but i don't know if it's a good idea

about vid - nice one MVGame

Parading about in synchronised, straight lines is all very impressive. But the time taken to learn how to do it, is time not used to learn survival tactics. Plus, soldier spam is not good against MGs (COH as proof).

You shouldn't sound so smug sunshine, because it isn't the EU, and definitely not China that guarantees Poland's independence from Russia..

Explaining the rationale behind the initial plans for American outposts in Poland and Romania, Hagel said, "the purpose was to add to the protection of the US homeland already provided by our current [ground-based interceptors] against missile threats from the Middle East."

A standing army today is today more about boasting than actually fighting wars. The discipline makes them seem more organized and better, though spending every second of those parade lessons training for survival would make them better warriors, parades and stuff make them a better army.

Ahem....I doubt if anybody can (or does) guarantee Poland's independence.

The guarantee by France and UK in 1939 was conceivably one of the biggest diplomatic disasters of the modern era. It gave no physical support to Poland , probably precipitated the Blitzkrieg and left the 2 "Superpowers" committed to a European land war.....and you know what occurred in 1940, no?

As for more recent times, this piece confirms that the USA is withdrawing from its intended missile placements - and thank God for that! I mean, did you ever seriously think that stationing missiles in Poland would be a defence for the USA against Iran? You do know that Merkins are hopeless at geography?

As it is, they even counsel their citizens toStay away

If you're going to use the 40's as an example of how Poland cannot/won't be defended or supported by it's allies today (because of course the geopolitical scene is unchanged in 70 years..) then I think i'm done here.

All I was saying was that American hegemony on the world scene combined with Polish membership of NATO was an important source of security for Poland and that Poles like Barton shouldn't want that position compromised.

Your source also doesn't support this notion of an American 'withdrawal' from Poland, just inconsistency in the shaping of these Missile plans, so that's a bit of fail there on your part.

Lastly, missile systems and their counter measures operate over huge distances, so if you didn't see the utility of having bases in Poland to defend from threats to Europe and America that originate in Asia (i.e, Russia/Iran) then you're in no position to criticise others Geography skills MVGame
