Guardian's mindset is frozen in some indetermimate 1985 date. Russia is unfairly criticised at every turn and never did anything wrong, it is under threat from the West which is a united entity and always will be, North Korea really isn't all that bad, strong leadership is the answer, tractor factories are important, Belarus/Russia are the same, Stalin really wasn't all that bad, Russia has never colonised other nations only civilised them, Gaddafi really wasn't all that bad, Assad really isn't all that bad, all this stuff about LGBT rights is hooey.

I'm sure Owlbread can tell us why it's all Britain's fault.

Hey be fair! It could also be the Labor parties doing. 

No, it's very much our own fault. We bowed too often to the religious establishment,  Catholic, Presbyterian and Muslim. Those who abstained/voted no were from several parties including SNP and Labour.

Damn, I've started making a lot of spelling mistakes since I started posting from my phone. Sausage fingers.

So you've finally shown your anti-tractor beliefs!

Burn the witch!

no

The main problem with using nukes to conquer territory is the same reason why people don't use chemical weapons en masse to do so.

Both those weapons render the territory gained useless.

But normal aircraft can't reach stratosphere by normal flight... that means that the aircraft launched from there can't return back to it.

30 = pretty hot, 40 = burning alive...

It’s kind of off-topic for Korea but this thread does talk a lot about tanks.  I haven’t followed along for some time but,
1) didn’t the Iraqi’s show the Achilles’ heel of an Abrams was the necessarily large supply convoys?  Those turbine suck up a lot of fuel.  Korea maybe not so much, it’s small, but target the tanker trucks and it still becomes more or less Rommel’s problem.
2) didn’t the Mid-East wars of the 70s demonstrate that unit superiority would be trumped by tactics and terrain?  (Golan Heights)
3) does anyone think there ever will be another major tank battle involving the US?  That was NATO’s plan for countering the Warsaw Pact but, it was a long time ago.  The US has now had a lot of practice using drones and Hellfires.  They’re pretty precise.  And if somebody comes up with something so top-protected that a Hellfire wouldn’t do the job, wouldn’t it be almost no time at all until there were simply larger drones launching something bigger?

If we talk major battles, then drones along with all other electronically advanced weaponry would get disrupted by EMP and electromagnetic warfare.

I loved setting up a closed room with 30 magic balls and then putting up some dynamite and cats and trampolines and phasers and watch the ensuing total chaos.
