  1. They've already signed the NTP Treaty, which says it is illegal for any signatory to build weapons anyways.

    Also if Wikileaks is correct in their findings with what I just posted, they're [Iran] bluffing about their nuclear program much akin to what Saddam did about ten years ago.

    I believe your country is a little jealous of our stealth submarines, at least, so I've heard. Sweden traditionally has a strong military. I guess it must have felt good to have that when you were pretty much a neighbor of the Soviet Union. We had the fourth biggest air force in the world around a the end of the 50s. Impressive for a country with such a small population.

    Yeah, the Gripen is a fine plane. I'm hoping the new plane that's being worked on will be something fantastic, media sometimes call it the Super Gripen.

    I've never heard much about your countrys subs. I've always assumed they were good though. I'm not sure America is jealous of them. There diesel boats which is fine for a coastal force, but for a true blue-water navy, you really have to go nuclear with subs. If I recall right, you guys were at war, on, and off with Russia for hundreds of years.

    If by double standard you mean how the US and English media unfairly report stories on places in the Middle East, specifically Palestine, I agree, if I'm wrong, correct me.


    BBC openly admitted that they treat Muslims with greater sensitivity, than Christians. How much have you heard about the churches being burned in Egypt, the Iranian man sentenced to death for becoming a Christan, or the Afghans demanding American troops to be charged for accidently burning Korans well at the same time attacking American troops?

    LOCK AND LOAD!!!

  7. I'm not the least bit suprised that Obama has given preferentail treatment to Union thugs over the military, and there familys.

    Well, I think we pretty much have the best stealth subs in the world, pretty much impossible to detect. At least that's what I've heard.

    There was a lot of war in these neighborhoods for hundreds of years until something like 200 years ago when we had our last really big war with Russia (we lost Finland in that war).

    I'd say our main enemy was Denmark though.

    You know, during what we call Stormaktstiden (usually called Swedish Empire in English, would translate to Great Power-time). We were pretty much twice the size of what we're now. We had Finland, the Baltic states, Prussia, other parts of Germany. We pretty much controlled the Baltic sea. And until just 107 years ago, we had Norway. We've been a great power. Swedish war history is pretty interesting.
  9. Cant really find a good discussion on the virtues of your countrys subs versus my countrys subs. Most sources seem to agree that there the best diesel subs in the world, beating German, Israeli, and Japanese boats. Also, quieter than the older Russian, and Chinese nuclear boats.

    On American subs I do know this though. The first Ohio class ballistic misslle sub was allegedly so quiet, that it had to be made louder. Supposedly, sonar operators could actually make out the absence of sound on there screens.
  11. LOL. I was actually reading that, a few seconds ago.


    Too be fair, the USNs anti-sub systems have really suffered because of the end of the cold war. Carriers no longer carry a fixed wing ASW squadron, most surface ships no longer deploy with towed array sonar, and the CSGs own subs are genreally detached for special missions. Overall, if we get in a conventional naval fight, with an enemy with decent subs, its going to be a rough time.
