i think there are americans who are nervous because of noise, americans who are nervous because of silence, and those who are nervous because of both. i’m not nervous, more like wary. i think a lot of every day life can be applied to world affairs. for example, my elementary school experience (forgive any naivete that may come across). the bullies that picked on me were one of two types. those who were loud mouths, and those who “flew below the radar.” the big mouths were more likely to get in trouble with the teachers and were being watched more closely. eventually they could not pick on me anymore. the ones who were subtle had fairly good reps with the teacher, so they got away with bullying.
my warning is to watch out for the subtle bullies. don’t be anxious and jump at every shadow. that’s dumb. like crying wolf. no one will believe you after a while.

First falk, Rome did have a better navy. It was largely a Roman “feel good” idea that they built this powerful navy out of nothing.
Carthage had a lot of ships, but many of them were not military and the average quality of their military ships and sailors was lower than Rome. Also, consider that at that time the navy was mostly armies on rafts, thus the army was part of the navy. Plus, Rome was supported by allie’s ships. (Like how the U.S. has support of the S. Korean, British, Taiwanese Navies) Finally, the Romans had experience hunting down pirates, and the Carthegenians were baisically pirates.
I have no idea where you got that from, but it contradics anything that you can find over here.
Before the first punic war, Rome had no navy. They then captured a stranded carthagan galley, took it apart, and rebuilt lots of them, inventing the “raven” to turn sea-battles into land battles. So, Rome turned it into “army on rafts”, but before it was ramming and/or setting enemies ships on fire.
The carthagians where the sea-traders of that time, not pirates. They had military vessels/ a great navy to support that trade.What you talk of is the situation before the second or third punic war. But: Did the USA and the PRC go to war for a first time already? ;)

Yes, during the Korean War when the Chinese took staggering losses with the North Koreans.
-
wernt they helping the north vetnamies?
-
No, 22 Chinese divisions crossed the Yalu River, which is the border between Manchuria and North Korea during the Korean War when Macarthur’s forces approached the river.
-
ah
-
Macarthur also wanted to expand the war into China which is what led to Truman firing him from the military.
-
yah, that and dropping the Bomb… :-?
-
If MacArthur had his way, the six major bridges accross the Yalu River would have been take out six weeks previous to the Red invasion of 300,000 soldiers…
-
Well, we’ll never know how it would have turnedo ut.

This is Roman myth which was recorded as history

GRIN
well, give me evidence that it is a myth then….
and what the real situation was, with proof.
or (being unfair now, perlase ignore if you like:) is it a myth a proven as the bible is none ;) ? -
Let me explain,
What I was stating was the opinion I have seen that it is unlikely that the Romans suddenly built a powerful navy out of scratch. However, I can’t remember where I read it, so I will yield the point.
However, this is different than the bible.
