    I don't think giving everyone the ability to push one button & end the human race is ethical.

    As far as N. Korea goes, it's only the media thats been shifted - Thats a good thing, get the eyes off it so that other counter measures can take place - ;)

    Interesting enough, The U.S. will be going up against its own out dated Tanks etc.. with Iran. We supplied them rather well during the Iran controversy...

    Good news is that because we manufactured them, we also know there weaknesses & abilities in order to combat them. :)

    I was referring to worldwide export :)

    If we break down to Iran only, then yes, you are right, they buy arms mostly from Russia.

    Russia does Now, however, The U.S. used to be Irans #1 supplier....

    I think on a Global Level the U.S. sells Less than Russia, we just charge more for our technology than Russia does (Hinse the Higher $$$ you quoted).

    nah, I dont think there s a huge price difference if we take for instance two jets or something else. Plus all deals were made in $, and this month the company that sells it (RosOboronExport) switched to euros.

    You amaze me every time, AGS. But then again, you DID admit to be a nut, and you DID say that you admire Ahmadenijad. But you still manage to amaze me :eek:
