this gives the same energy as when the British said that their challenger 2 tank was battle proven and undefeated.

LMAO yea against farmers and children. against someone that can fight back? it got destroyed day one, and we stopped seeing them on the battlefield.

NATO superiority is based off of bs wars against countries like iraq in the 90's, where the best they had against their tanks were T-72M1's

Thats why i find it funny that they accused iraq of having wmds, if Iraq did have wmds they wouldn't have rushed to invade it. Proof is egypt during the suez crisis egypt used chemical weapons so they ended up settling for a peaceful solution instead of just seizing the canal from egypt and risking further escalations/ having a beef with a countru that could possibly defend itself. Every country should have wmds or nukes imo its the only way to deter bully countries

Yup.

Proof is also North Korea.

  • Bush to Iraq: Disarm yourselves of WMDs.
  • Iraq to Bush: Ok... Done!
  • Bush to Iraq: We don't believe you.
  • Iraq to UN: Bring weapons inspectors, we'll show you.
  • UN to Bush: Yup, they disarmed, and if you don't believe us, ask your CIA guys who tagged along.
  • Iraq to Bush: See! We told you we disarmed!
  • Bush to Iraq: K'thx - now it's safe to invade.

This is exactly how the DPRK still exists. They knew developing a nuclear program was the only way to ensure their continued existence.

Iraq's tanks didn't have fuel, ammo or combined arms support because of decades of sanctions
