Is there actually really a world wide shortage in regards to wheat? any people actually starving due to this so far? Or is it more a matter of paying higher prices - due to other producers taking advantage? Just like oil and gas - there is absolutely no shortage in Germany - yet prices have...

You might have forgotten about the numbers involved ;) e.g. Germany never fielded more the 1300 Tiger1's throughout the war. if I am not mistaken the overall kill ratio of the Tiger1 was 1:6 - I am open towards corrections in this matter:)

Political pseudo ambitions and election gossip/promises is one thing. The real situation and factual economics is another issue. US consider themselves as to world boss - not confined to simply Japan and Korea. Since China's rise from 2000 onward, the USA has termed it as a fight/challenge as...

There is no need for a war or direct military actions in order to be termed as an agressor. Intruding into another countries EEZ with fishing fleets or survey vessels - actively exploring, and being (accompanied by CN Navy and Coast Guard ships) is an aggressive behavior. The respective EEZ's...

AFAIK - NO It includes "officially" only Peninsular Malaysia Last year during the 5oth anniversary, discussions were held in regards to inviting Brunei to join and to include Borneo - (project 10 year road-map) but to my knowledge nothing conclusive has been decided in that matter. Anyway the...

Sorry no y-tube, etc. presently on my laptop in China.

Yes - a bit similar, but the Rhodesian forces use a lighter brown, no sand brown and especially the brush strokes are in green. Too much brown gives you away in the jungle and bush/grassland.

No sorry, I don't agree. China has repeatedly bullied it's way into the EEZ's of it's neighbors. Justifying it with it's 9-dash line. And because of this - the USA find's it easy to portrait China as an aggressor. That the USA is also hindering diplomatic efforts between China and the other...

Yes I am aware, Sabah and Sarawak are their main concern or favorite topics. Their entire military purchase "excuse" ahh... reason, is directed towards securing East-Malaysia. (and it is far easier to make $ for the promoters).

Now you are into a total war fiction - it will never happen, not from the Chinese side. E.g. if the fish and gas/oil is so important for them, they will simply occupy Natuna and enjoy exploiting the natural resources in their newly added EEZ of Natuna. Indonesia simply doesn't have the ability...

How about my all-time favorite? Rhodesian Camouflage (1970 – 1980) Promise you couldn't detect those fellows in jungle, grassland or mountainous, terrain. Especially the SAS and Selous Scouts versions。Check out the guys on the left - how the cammo blends into the background.

Don't forget they still maintain 2 Gurkha battalions :D

i agree more or less to your statements. However let's keep in mind that nationalism (e.g. boycotting Japanese or Korean businesses) is still a huge step away from convincing a society towards war. Especially the Chinese society that is way more interested in making $ and go online-shopping...

Upps... there goes the Bundeswehr 100 Billion euro special fund.

Oh boy - I think Brunei will strongly object towards that claim :)

@Var Dracon and @Lordimperator - thanks for the clarification!

Certainly not with a USA around that is trying since 20 years to get their hand onto/into Kazakhstan politics.

Lowyat? Maaf saya tidak mendapat makna - some Javanese slang word :D?

Oh, oh ... one of these unnecessary and "thoughtless" statements. Or something someone might indeed need to worry about? ;)

Tun Mahathir WAS a great benefit for Malaysia in the 80's to 90's. Otherwise Malaysia would be economically still hanging around in the 70's. Unfortunately he never realized that the initially well meant/founded Bumi law, became uncontrolled and simply turned the country towards pocket filling...
