Probably. I would almost rank Australia a stronger Allie then the U.K. The only difference is strategically the UK has in the past been better geographically positioned, as well as having a stronger military. That will now probably change with the rise of China and the gradual decline of Russia (Despite what Putin…

Seriously? Your kidding right? Go read a bit my about your prophet then what you imam is saying.

Apparently you missed my first sentence. I’ve read the Quran from front to back. I know whats in that book, as well as the history of the religion. My guess is you only know one piece of it.

Oh bullshit, just bullshit. I’ve read both (New Testament, and Quran) as well as studied the histories of Christianity as well as Islam. At best you traded one make believe deity for another, at worst you joined a religion that was spread by the sword and continues to do its best to hold down half of humanity.

No.. just, no, on so many levels of no-ness. Keeping nukes out of the U.S. because the Mexican border is porous? Lets explore that one for a second, shall we.

No, I totally agree, and well said. There is a similar, albeit not as rampant issue in the U.S. in certain cities. Detroit has a large Islamic settlement which has been a source of a lot radicalization and movement to Syria to fight for the ‘cause’. Not even close in numbers to what we see in Europe, but I think…

Nice find on that info-graph. What boggles my mind is that they keep going to fight from these countries. They must watch the news before they go. Do they not believe what they see? I’ll never understand that..

No one with any sense is talking about withdrawing from NATO or leaving Europe behind. Trump may blather about that, but thats because thats what Trump does. Hes an idiot, and woefully uneducated on anything to do with the Military, or for the most part international relations.

You are right, I misread Wikipedia at first. They were supposed to have the LEM, but apparently it wasnt ready in time so they went just with the CSM. So, Orion is bigger in volume then the CSM, so I guess very do-able.

Bigger question I have is how is this reasonably going to be possible for the crew? Say 4 Astronauts onboard, the Orion capsule is quite small for a extended flight like that.

Lets be serious about NATO for a moment if you want to bring up nebulous wording. If Russia decided to attack for some reason any NATO country, and the U.S. did not respond, that would be the end of NATO? Could you agree to that? I agree the wording probably doesnt mean that say, Greece, needs to respond to an…

So, interesting points. A few things always come to mind:

Hmm.. Time to add Aluminum Walls to my bedroom..

Not disagreeing, but you cant have both. :) Either ban it, or profit from it for charity..

Whats the half life on the core material that they think melted through? If you are talking 1000+ sieverts, I have a hard time imagining they will ever get anything close enough to do the cleanup.

Spectacular.

I guess the question is, what is more likely? Fighting a peer state, or fighting people in pickup trucks?

Yep, something similar.. Was cutting back some shrubs around my house, and there was spiders around. Not those big daddy long legs, but the small (1/4 inch size) ones. One dropped on my head, I thought I got it off.. Well, I didnt. Throughout the night my ear kept scratching. Finally I did something, and the dam…

Agreed - The Rebels are ISIS in a Galaxy far, far away.

As Randal Said..
