Who hesitates? The United States? NATO? The Arab League?

Which "last time"?

Why not stop being obscure and just come out and say it?

BTW, I don't think any Western nation should get involved, because no good will come of it in the end.

Me too..today was the today gentleman. Whatever the reasons and for whatever cost we can all agree it was a "game changer"

Right.... Can we carry on with the russcies debate.

Sooo.. T-50 radar? Different league? I think so, detecting heat signatures from the engines means your stealth fighter in no longer stealthy.

Do you think the raptor will now or in the foreseeable future upgrade it's radar system to compensate?

We don't have to worry here in the UK anyway. We have the Eurofighter Typhoon! Yay! Lmao

And now, back to FDR and some message about the Japanese not liking us.

The US had some intelligence that was passed on to military bases. There was no specific threat mentioned, and the warning was partially based on the observation that the Japanese embassy in Wash DC was burning documents. That is why the planes at Pearl Harbor were lined up wingtip to wingtip, rather than dispersed, so that the guards could protect them from saboteurs. This was seen as the most likely threat. The US had no knowledge that the Japanese fleet was on the way. Given the communications of the day, its hard to believe FDR had anymore knowledge than anyone else on the subject.

Conspiracy junkies just love to take one item, and inflate it into something completely idiotic.

Mankind is a pest, I doubt it wouldn't survive a nuclear holocaust.
