I wish the USA could build a fleet for $1 Billion. A new destroyer costs over $2 billion. A new sub costs about $3 billion and a Nimitz class carrier with all the trimmings is pushing $10 billion.

So since there are no $1 billion dollar fleets in existence, we can either conclude bad translation or the cleric is an idiot or both apply.

Maye with an Iranian Dan'l Boone launching the missile.

No he's not lol unless Iran has nuclear torpedo.

Those you fervently wish to believe the cleric know exactly what about developing missiles or how they are developed? A critical analysis lifted from the Hamburg school of thought bolstered by using words purloined from geometry like intersection is the extent of their thinking.

Maybe he's talking about the missile he destroyed his goat with.

Clerics worldwide believe God is on their country's side and will ensure victory over the other nations God.

I read an article by a Japanese reporter who accompanied their troops in battle. He was required when reporting on a battle aftermath that the dying Japanese soldiers cried out their love and devotion praising the Emperor. The truth was that their dying young men, like the dying young Americans cried out for the same thing, their mothers.

It is an ancient American adage that "You shouldn't pick a fight, but if one is forced on you that you finish it."

Some people are just so anti-war, because it is chic to say. Basically, they are brainless or cowards.

This is what happens, when you cannot or will not fight back.

People believe it, because it shows up literature as well. Just because you will not fight does not mean a fight won't come to you. The Lhazeeran never attacked the Dothraki, but they got attacked anyway.
