It's graphs like that that really put the absurdity of it all into context.
Iran's navy in a menace....yet the U.s navy has more tonnage than the next 13 nations combined---many of those are allies with just about 0% chance of conflict. A naval/airwar in the straight of Hormez would be a blood bath. Iran is no more of a "threat" militarily than Iraq was, but of course, both are/were huge economic threats.
Iran can't build nuclear weapons, but the United States has built 67,500 since 1945.

So people are supposed to ignore the fact that he's a douche bag and continue to be nice to him? Circular logic is round.unpro wrote:also, hes always debated like this. thatsright is seemingly incapable of not insulting people. take that as known fact, ignore and be reasonable. he tends to go further into decent debate language the longer a debate goes on, especially if you keep it nice and ignore his jabs.
ps: im done with this part of the discussion now, back to original topic. im being entirely to nice to the guy.
