So we are back to the Cold War again?

I referred to you as a crypto-fascist, because I don't know that you favor a broad fascist agenda (I also don't know that you don't). Banning all opposition parties (and there are, realistically, only two parties in the United States) is a classic fascist tactic, and the first significant move of any fascist state--as was the case in the 1930s in Europe in Spain, Italy, Germany and Hungary, and as was the case in Japan in the late 1920s.

Your absurd, in fact idiotic claim about the Democratic party

as are about nine-tenths of all your claims, completely unsubstantiated.

Yeah, and the dog ate their homework. Excuses excuses.

Fact is, the Syrians had Russian built planes and were trained by Russians,

and 100 Russian supplied Syrian fighter jets got shot down by American fighter jets while no Syrian fighter jet successfully shot down an American fighter jet

Again, you've got to lay off reading those right wing websites. I keep tellin' ya, they get their info from the Russkies and just repost it, thereby saving money on actual reporters.

In the Korean War, American fighters had a "kill ratio" of 10:1, (ten enemy fighters shot down for each American fighter lost).

For the US Air Force in Vietnam, it was5.5:1 for the early years of the war and 15:1 for the later years. For the US Navy in Vietnam it was 6.4:1 for the early years then 8.5:1. This is for fighter jets shooting at other fighter jets, not fighter jets shooting at cargo planes or bombers. The fighter-on-fighter stats are called "MiGCAP" stats.

Your conclusion that the huge advantage in military spending for the US over any other country does not pay off in superior weapons is proven wrong.

Our warplanes have always been better than anything the Russians can make. Partly because of our experience, partly because of how much more we spend.

The Russians are way behind us, as they are way behind us now with our new F-35s.

Trying to accuse the Democrats of ignoring natonal defense is nonsense,

How did they [American pilots] do against highly-trained Soviet pilots?

You just revealed yourself as being unable to comment on national defense issues intelligently.

You just revealed yourself as being unable to comment on national defense issues intelligently.

Since the Cold War began, both the US and Russia have taken great pains to not to have their troops shoot each other, in order to avoid a nuclear catastrophe occurring.

So for the past 73 years it has been the US shooting at people Russia arms or Russia shooting at people the US arms, never Russia and the US shooting at each other.

This policy has done an admirable job of keeping the planet in one piece.

So when you ask for statistics about how Americans fare shooting at Russians in the air, you pretty much show that you have no idea what has been going on in the world for quite a few decades now, since there has been no conflict with American air fighters shooting at Russian piloted fighters, or vice versa.

Just to repeat, here is the record of American fighter pilots shooting at Russian made MiGs. This makes clear how far above all other nations we are in air superiority and military hardware generally.

This superiority comes from experience building the world's best weapons, and the immense amount of money we have sunk into this, much more than the next 7 top nations combined.

He doesn't have a clue about anything, he can't distinguish between facts and opinion or between fantasy and reality. He's delusional.
Some RW posters may twist the truth completely out of shape but he doesn't even know what the truth is.

That would have been news to all the Americans shot down by Soviet pilots in the Korean War.

Unfortunately Obama and the Democrats have seen to it that we no longer have an adequate number of air superiority fighters, so this policy of security is now a thing of the past.

As it turns out, although Russian pilots never officially flew against American planes, unofficially quite few did. The Soviets dressed in North Korean uniforms and were forbidden from flying near the border, lest they get captured and proof of their Russianhood emerge. But this fact does not help your side at all. The American F-86s had a 10:1 kill ratio against the Russian fighters. If quite a few of the MiGs were actually piloted by Russians, there is no way the Russian pilots can mathematically have even close to a 1:1 kill ratio against the Americans.

Any way you look at it, the American F-86s cleaned up against all the pilots in the MiGs, Russians included.

And moving into your own lifetime, the US had air superiority in VietNam and Syria as well. The gap in air superiority between the US and Russia has been growing, not shrinking. As this chart illustrates:

False. The F-35 - the most expensive weapons systems ever-is vastly superior to any fighter Russia has. The Russians can't hit what they can't see, and the stealth F-35 can't be seen by the Russkies.

That's why Russia is waging a propaganda war against the F-35 on YouTube, leading to the right wing media copying the criticism of the F-35 that the Russians push.

It's sad.........and he doesn't know why.

It's starting to make sense.

I find it incredibly fascinating that you are so convinced that the Russians have pilots superior to the US pilots.

Not only your fascination but your clumsy cherry picking of Russian propaganda, which I find shocking tovarish.

"Aviators from four nations may have qualified as aces during the Korean War; between six and nine aces have been estimated for China and up to four in North Korea [also estimated]. Pilots of the Soviet Union had the most difficulty confirming victories and accurately determining which pilots achieved ace status, and between 34 and 60 pilots from that nation have been postulated as possible aces in the war. For the United Nations, the United States was the only country with pilots to attain ace status, with 40 documented aces."

Why are you putting forth quotes which themselves illustrate the superiority of American aircraft over Russian aircraft in the Korean War and then claim the quotes mean Russian aircraft are as good? If you read the quotes, they say the precise opposite-the American aircraft are far superior.

Take this quote of yours for instance. Bolding mine:

Quote:

"Aviators from four nations may have qualified as aces during the Korean War; between six and nine aces have been estimated for China and up to four in North Korea [also estimated]. Pilots of the Soviet Union had the most difficulty confirming victories and accurately determining which pilots achieved ace status, and between 34 and 60 pilots from that nation have been postulated as possible aces in the war. For the United Nations, the United States was the only country with pilots to attain ace status, with 40 documented aces."

So for "evidence" your quote puts forth between six and nine "maybes" for China and up to four "maybes" for North Korea. The Soviet Union (Russia) admits it had difficulty but gives between 34 and 60 "maybes". Meanwhile, the only internationally accepted documentation of flying aces is 40 for the United States.

Couple that with the documented kill ratio for the F-36 of 10:1 over Russian built aircraft piloted by Russian, Chinese and North Korean pilots, and what you have is documented American superiority over a mishmash of maybes, perhapses and "duh-it-could-bes" for the Russian built fighter jets. Which, in this argument, is your side.

In short, all reliable documentation points to the American fighter aircraft decisively besting Russian aircraft in fighter to fighter confrontations by a wide margin.

All other wars show the same thing.

And now American air superiority continues with the F-35, the most expensive weapons system in history but one with features and abilities the Russians can only dream of.

I don't think you realize how careless you are with reality. You dither around with one silly allegation after another,

promote notions that make a mockery of the Constitution

and now........now some nonsense about Russians shooting US Pilots out of the air during the Korean War??????

In other words, you can posture all you want, you can claim that you only present truthiness.....it just won't spin this nonsense into the truth.
