I am fairly certain everyone knows who you are talking about...

Not to mention electric starters are often pretty impractical. Jet engines need a lot of air moving through them to start, and the APU is a small gas turbine that can feed air into the main engine to get it turning and up to starting speed.

I understand what you’re saying, but I still think the situations and context are far too different to make any legitimate comparison. If Israel was the only country with nuclear weapons, they likely would have used them in one of the previous wars for survival, and would have been justified in doing so.

It’s really quite humorous when you accuse people being members of some group they have never heard of... You are calling absolutely everyone that disagrees with you “Hasbara.” Especially anyone showing any support (or less hatred than you) for Israel.

You seem to live a very sad life, believing everything is a conspiracy and done intentionally unless 100% proven otherwise (which it never is proven to you, as you ignore facts).

I wasn’t saying we should worry about Israel either, but “the US used them first so we can’t say anything” is really irrelevant to anything. The US has been staunchly against EVER using nukes again, and when we did use them they weren’t the “end of the world bringers” they are now.

I’m not sure which of my responses to you, you are responding to now. thought you mentioned above that terrorists residing or coming from Pakistan had something to do with Pakistan’s willingness to use nukes. I was objecting to that assumption.

First thing their neighbors did when they were established was attack them... Before they had a chance to do anything at all. Yeah, it’s definitely not their neighbors’ fault. I keep forgetting to not feed the trolls.

Having video of these would have highlighted the ridiculousness of using cruise missiles for these attacks. If you have a plane flying overhead recording video when they hit, why not just hit it with the plane? You can’t really use the “we wanted the element of surprise” or “we wanted to avoid any stinger ManPads…

The AC-130 does not identify targets or verify them. The *crew* does this. They are human beings, not systems built into the AC-130. Human beings make mistakes all the time.

I see people say this all the time, and so what? We used them to save tons of lives, back when nobody else had them. If they had not been used, without a doubt there would be been at least twice that # of casualties on the Japanese side before the war was done, and you’d have to add to that a quarter million American…

I am sure there are plenty of madmen in asylums in the US that want to destroy the entire planet, so what’s your point? Being from a country doesn’t mean that country shares your views, or that those in power do.

Yes, but that in the picture is not an F-5, as he pointed out. One dead giveaway is that the F-5 has a single vertical tail.

Maybe because they not constantly calling for the destruction of countries around them? They have had them how long, and when was the last time they promised to use them to destroy their enemies or threatened to?

No one is saying they are difficult to make. It is getting your hands on the nuclear material. Iran was trying to produce the material and then... Stuxnet set them back by breaking centrifuges.

How about we just take the thought behind what was said? It doesn’t matter whether you believe prayer does any good or not. What matters is someone has expressed that they are willing to spend time doing something they believe to be helpful.

Do you have some kind of post quota you need to fill for whoever pays you to troll here?

That would be exactly like our Tomahawks and Harpoons. They, too use boosters to get up to altitude/speed so their jet engines can kick in and wings take over before they hit the water.

I wouldn’t be so certain. I am sure the US was aware of them while they were still in-flight, but those Satellites are likely designed to pick up larger boosters firing, not the tiny little boosters on cruise missiles.

It simply has not been long enough since Russia entered the fray to have any idea what impact they have had on IS. Period. Anyone who says otherwise is an idiot or spreading propaganda. The fact you are eating it up tells us what a sucker you are.
