Thread: Who has the strongest military in Europe?

Many people are offended by the truth and you are no exception.

That sounds very nice but without anything to back it up it is nothing more than baseless assumption.

Apparently the British government takes the threat of rising sea levels more seriously than you do. If you look at the Thames River in London you would see large gates built across it, which can be closed when necessary, when London is threatened by high tides due to the increasing sea levels.

That you would link current climate change doom and gloom hype to freak tides and storms is a show of you willingness to shoehorn facts to fit your opinions
Those gates were started in 1974 and finished in 1984 long before all the worry and publicity of climate change. Also We know London is very vulnerable to flooding under any circumstance and so this does nothing to support your assertion given,

"According to Gilbert & Horner on 7th December 1663 Samuel Pepys recorded in his diary 'There was last night the greatest tide that ever was remembered in England to have been in this river all Whitehall having been drowned'. In 1236 the river is reported as overflowing 'and in the great Palace of Westminster men did row with wherries in the midst of the hall'. (Gilbert & Horner - 1984). Fourteen people died in the 1928 Thames flood, and after 307 people died in the UK in the North Sea Flood of 1953 the issue gained new prominence."

The last major climatic shift in Europe was devastating and one result was large numbers of starving peasants, who formed revolutionary groups and attacked governments in Western Europe.

so when was this and what exactly happened, it makes a very interesting bed time story but without dates and historical references this is meaningless to those who haven't studied whatever period of European history this is supposed to have happened in.

Considering that most Europeans are currently dependant on government welfare they would probably become upset if this welfare support was suddenly reduced or eliminated.

I Assume you have proof of this. official UN, government, intel agency statistics to support this because if not get rid of it.

This kind of internal strife is much more likely than a large scale continental war between medium European powers.

Did you bother to read the thread title, this is "who has the strongest mil in Europe" not "doom and gloom in all its glory"

Most Europeans simply will not accept the fact that Muslim Terrorists would like to kill them all

When you present items as your opinion its all good but when you present something as fact you are supposed to back it up properly. Do so or make it clear that this is nought more than your opinion.

Also, Socialists and Muslim terrorists have a few things in common:

-Hatred of Jews
-Hatred of Christianity
-Hatred of Capitalism

Now here you have overstepped the line. As a socialist (someone who believes in social equality), a soldier and a Christian I take extreme offence at being compared in such a lame and unsupported manner with terrorism of any kind. I am trained to counter such people and to suggest I hate Jews, Christians or capitalism (while not my favorite governmental form) is a total abhoration. Make your apology now without reserve to the many people you have just defamed.

Since France is the birthplace of Socialism, the more extreme socialists that reside in Europe (and American Universities), would be greatly heartened to see Muslim Terrorists succeed, which is why they whine so loudly about the rights of detained Muslim Terrorists. Yet these Socialists will not lift a finger to help any Christians who are under attack from Muslim extremists.

Before anyone (even those who might share some of your point of view) accept anything you have posted you will have to support it with proof. We need more than the self serving word of an apparent right wing radical, PROOF.

Also, it is very unlikely that Europe’s Socialist Governments would wage war against each other; the more likely scenario is civil strife and repression within Europe rather than a general war between European nations. Consequently, counting apposing numbers of military units, troop numbers and military hardware is pointless because European countries never intend to actually fight any major wars. If a major war begins, Europe will look to the USA for it’s security rather than fight and attempt to win on its own.

More baseless assumption! I say baseless because you have offered nothing in the way of proof. Oh an before you continue to rant on in the same vain you might recall that the UK was one of a number of European nations that went into Iraq with the U.S.A.
