I was woundering eigther of you is going of topic.
The Mid-east is a 3rd world country, they have to scavange all weapons. Besides, CHina supposed to represent Russia's Coummunism from Red Alert. (ex: Mammoth to Overlord tank? )
Not all of it is 3rd world. Infact, very little of it is. You should do some research and educate yourself. Egypt, Syria, Iran, Pakistan and a few others have modern armies. They're not indevidualy on par with the US or Chinees armies, but they are modern and NOT scrounged from trash. They have thier own equipment, plus what they can buy on the open market (all countries do this). I've been to Egypt recently and seen thier jets in the hangers... they are a little old, but they are not behind the times. Just because Iraq and lebanon are in the news with thier war torn streets and rubble doesn't mean that every nation in the area is crippled.
The main problem with the news is that it portrays Iraq and Iran as Poverty srticken, Gurrella fighting 3rd
worlders. But in reality Iran (Iran right?) has one of the most feared tanks and was able to defend
it's self from 6 (6 I think...) countries attacks at once. Of course you get the news one of two ways.
Pity for Iraq we should leave. and Iraq is all terrorists let's bomb them all...
It's quite pathetic actually...
Oh and fyi Russia is on it's way to being a democracy... so they aren't the evil commie baddies anymore...
so now we (The american propaganda machine) belive that china is full of evil commie dogs!
Anyway let's get back on topic...
