Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Anon,

    That is only if Iran gets attacked. But how stupid can they be? Iran is not of the defensive right now.

      I disagree, the Sunburn is a formidable weapon but US navy ships have a number of defensive capabilities that can protect them. Phalanx, the shipborn AIM-9 and Sea Sparrow missiles.
      Ofcourse the best form of defense is offense and this is where the Sunburn is weakest, US navy ships can simply take them out before they are in range of the missile. When you look at the bigger picture, not just one USN ship against a Sunburn but AWACS and satellites covering a fleet that has Harpoon and Tomahawk missiles, the Sunburn is still a serious threat but hardly one that will destroy the "American Naval fleet in the Persian Gulf and cut off tens of thousands of American troops in Iraq".
      And we have not even factored in US air power.

        Dude, you are watching too many Hollywood war movies.

        If used properly, a system like the Sunburn can take down the entire US fleet. Trust me. However, the key term here is - IF USED PROPERLY.

        According to independent military analysts, there are no defences against a system like the Sunburn. It can't be detected by radar because it flies very low to the ground and it is supersonic. By the time its visually detected - its too late. Also the Persian Gulf is in essence a pond flanked no the eastern side by rugged Iranians mountains. These mountains on the eastern edge of the Persian Gulf are said to have various missle systems in them. Trust me, Iran has the uppwer hand there militarily, that is why the Pentagon is going nuts trying to figure out how to stop Iran.

        There are no known defences against the new generation of hypersonic Missles systems produced by Russia today. The Sunburn is a 'huge' threat for the US Naval fleet. Trust me. Take a look at what a simple cruise missle did to one of Israel's most sophisticated and most expensive missle ships. They are claiming that the defences of the ship were not working at the time it got hit. I say bull s-h-i-t.

        Also, take into consideration the 'crude' Scud missiles that Saddam threw at Israel during the first Gulf war. Not a single one was intercepted by the highly advanced "Patriot" anti-missile system. At the time, Media propaganda clamied that a high percentage of missiles were being intercepted by the Patriots. However, many years later, military analysts admited that NOT A SINGLE SCUD MISSILE WAS DESTROYED IN FLIGHT BY PATRIOTS.

        The Phalanx gun defence technology is approximately 20 years old and it has never been proven in combat. The Israeli ship that got hit last week was eguipped with the system.

          Let me tell you something, simonchik

          And try to remember this because it’s very important for you, and for all those like yourself who, for whatever reason, have “chips on their shoulders” with regards to Hayastan and her people (Hayastantzis).

          Hayastan equals LIFE for everything Armenian while Spyurq, sadly but inevitably, equals slow death for everything Armenian.

          …Now, due to respect to this forum and its rules, I will go back to the topic “War in the Middle East”…

          The Lebanese people are the victims of Israeli aggression against their country.

          I have a great deal of admiration for the people of Lebanon who opened their doors and their hearts to thousands of Armenian refugees fleeing the horrors of the Genocide.

          Quite frankly our brothers from Lebanon are among the most patriotic Armenians in the world.

          I think that if Israel makes our community to suffer even more than they have already suffered in the last few weeks, some of our people will join forces with Hizballah and the Lebanese army to defend their country.

            The US isn't going to put ships in the Gulf for any assault on Iran. That would be idiotic.

              I am relying on facts here, not Hollywood movies.
              You are the one who is pushing an argument that is telling me to simply "trust you". The fact remains that not only what I said is true, the sunburn has never even seen combat.
              How many sunburn missiles does Iran have? In what way will they use them? Shipborne? Airborne?
              I always thought the sunburn could be detected, it uses active radar homing. I do understand though that the phalanx is hardly a match for it, I never tried to state it could defeat it. Once the missile is in range for it to detect it, the phalanx system has around 2 seconds to respond.
              You claim I am watching too many Hollywood war movies in an attempt to brush away what I have said, but other than "trust me" you have failed to show me how Iranian forces could come anywhere near destroying a US navy fleet. The 5th and 7th navy fleets are the ones that operate in the Persian Gulf I believe. Like I said before, with AWACS keeping an eye on an area covering 320kms around the fleet, fleet vessels and fleet aircraft armed with Harpoon missiles (ranges between 100-240kms) and ofcourse Tomahawk cruise missiles (1100kms), these sunburn missiles may never even leave their launchers. What about US submarines? What about US air power?
              Finally, take a look at a map, Iran is effectively encircled. The US has more options than simply sailing the 5th and 7th fleets up the Persian Gulf.
              Iran defeat the armed forces of the United States? Well, I guess they can try...

                If US starts attacking, i don't think anyone would have a chance, after all It was US who dropped two atomic bombs on COMPLETLY innocent people..

                Unless Russia steps in, but what are the odds?

                Oh yeh simonig, you don't even know wtf your talking about. i was raised in Russia, how could you say such a thing?
                that only applys to people who have not seen life

                  This is different topic but it's quite possible those two atomic bombs ended up saving lives.
                  Besides, conventional bombing on cities like Dresden killed more innocent civilians than those two atomic bombs did.

                    Are you familiar with logistics and planning?

                    Top American generals have all highlighted their disagreements with the neocons. They have repeatedly stated that the U.S. military is overstretched and thing and demoralized, especially in Iraq, and is not supplied the way it should be. The only encircled will be against the American military, sadly. Those poor young soldiers are caught in the winds if something happens. Iran can effectively swoop down and deliver a heavy blow to the Americans in Iraq already bogged down by insurgents. This is why America needs to leave Iraq now. And if Israel has a problem, let them fight their own wars. They are chickens and always have been because they have always relied on America.

                      No.
                      The argument that the use of the A-bomb saved lives is a thoroughly debunked one. Perhaps we need an all purpose thread about WWII to get this discussion going as this is already diverting the coherence of the thread
