    You're completely missing the issue.
    No, actually, I think you have. But don't feel bad, so did the French.

      "Haa! Europe couldn't even sort out Bosnia on it's own."

      Bad clown, bad!

      I said: "Intervention in Europe: a few years"

      "BTW, you have a ways to go to even come close to catching up to Russia's long neglected military potential, and at the rate you guys spend, you are doomed to never finish."

      Of course you never let facts get into the way of your extreme rightwing prejudice. Or have you been listending to Serb too much?

        Extreme right wing. Hee haw!

        Now, where are your facts? All I've seen so far is your and my words for it. btw, When did Austria gain the ability to begin armageddon? Christ, the Brits couldn't do that.

          Armageddon? I know Bush's role, but who would lead the Good?

          The French and the Brits can turn most of Russia or America into a nuclear wasteland. I consider that a sufficient deterrant.

          As for Russia's military, its spending level is somewhere in the 30-50 billion $ range, compared to France 40 billion, UK 35 billion, Germany 30 billion etc. But of course, we all know that should Albania be taken over by muslim fundamentalists, they would march unhindered on Berlin and Paris, right, NYE?

            I would expect the Germans to put up more resistance than the French.

              A buch of 40 year old soldiers/make-work-projects don't get much done, Roland.

              The Brits and French would get themselves and all of Europe incinerated in any confrontation, and not all of the oppo would get it. For whatever good that did them. Aside from the fact that against the US, the sub based bit (which is most of it) would go blub blub blub long before launching.

              As for what the Russians are doing... It doesn't cost a lot to store T80's and T90's. When they get back on their feet all your continental toy armies wouldn't be worth a tin soldiers chance in Hades. Oh, and they prolly aren't paying union wages, if they pay wages at all at the moment. Keeps the costs down.

                Is that link supposed to be funny ? If you are to mock France, you could at least do so in an original way, rather than re-hashing the old & tired prejudices

                    Ah, you read the WSJ. I suppose that is the source of all your military expertise on european forces.

                    "Aside from the fact that against the US, the sub based bit (which is most of it) would go blub blub blub long before launching."

                    I think that would only happen to the Brits, but it doesn't matter much.

                    "As for what the Russians are doing... It doesn't cost a lot to store T80's and T90's."

                    Oh, and how many are they storing? And how many t-55s are they storing?
                    Then you can ask MtG how they would fare against the Leopard II A5 and A6 versions.

                    "Oh, and they prolly aren't paying union wages, if they pay wages at all at the moment. Keeps the costs down."

                    You again impressively show that you do not understand various concepts of military spending estimates from an economic perspective.

                      You have yet to show that you understand them, Roland. Why should I?

                      And g'night.

                        The difference is, I can. Happy dreams about imputed cost estimates for military service in the national accounting for military spending.

                                This is false. We have a Culture Minister whose job is to conservate our public inheritance, to support new forms of cultural expression (partly through financing moviemakers), and to promote the use of French.

                                Nobody is forced to use the word "Ordinateur", it just happens to be the French word for computers. Are you Yanks and Rosbifs forced to use the word "Computer" ? - No. Yet, do you use the word "Ordinateur" on a daily basis ? - No. Why so ? - because "Ordinateur" is a foreign word to you. As a matter of fact, the compsci language in France is one of the areas where English is most present. We speak about RAM, CD Roms, Windows etc. just like you do.
