People say that carriers are obsolete because:

Hypersonic missiles are getting increasingly more powerful, to the point where it isn’t possible or economical to defend a carrier. Not only that, hypersonic missiles might have a longer range than carrier aircraft in the future (based on my own research, the F-35 still has a longer combat radius than most current missiles, though that’s because the Zicron doesn’t exist).

Submarines are getting quieter, to the point where they can easily destroy carriers.

Carriers are too big of a target. Some people use this argument and extend it to all surface ships.

If you’re curious, I personally disagree that these developments are too big of a problem, making them obsolete. Just my opinion.

People say tanks are obsolete because:

Tanks are easier to be targeted by anti-tank missiles, which have longer range than tanks.

Tanks are too expensive.

Aircraft have gotten more powerful to the point where they can replace the role of tanks.

Keep in mind my summary might be wrong, this is just what it seems reading some articles saying they’re obsolete.

I love this!  :-D

there are many ideas a man can think but if he thinks it twice he thought about another idea which makes his idea nonsense…

Speaking of Custer
Didja’ hear the one about:

a wealthy history buff commissions a painting
“i want Custer’s last thoughts on the canvas.  Paint it just like you were there, reading Custer’s mind”

Several weeks later, the painting is brought before the buyer.  He is shocked to see a number of naked native people in various very sexual poses.  In the middle is a large fish with a halo over its’ head.
“what the hell is this?” the history buff asked?
“well, it’s like you asked - you wanted Custer’s last thoughts!  I imagined it was something like:
holy mackeral - where did all of these f**king indians come from?”

LOL

Love it CC!

Mussolini made the trains run on time. The rest of that made no sence… sorry.

Those were the rulings I was referring to when I said I still had reservations. If he lacks a clear stance on abortion, it leads me to think he’ll lack a clear stance on other important issues, which is something I’d rather avoid. And, if his stance is that the Constitution somehow includes an article assuring that abortions are to be free and federally protected… I’m sure you can all guess my reaction to that ;).

Any updates of what’s going on in Liberia? I know US troops are there and are facing a massive problem from rioting civilians.

The point is: Liberia is a country founded by you. It is what comes closest to an ex-colony.
Just as you accuse that the French go in when their ex-colonies have trouble, we want you to go in when your ex-colony has trouble.
You have responsibility for them (sure we could discuss the degree, but not the fact).

No, Liberia was a country founded by the American Colonization Society in 1816 by Robert Finley, not by the United States Government. The US government is not responsible for it (except if you mean providing the ACS with some government grants). It’s like saying, I went to start set up a small communist country in the Pacific, but since things didn’t turn out right, the US government has to bail me out. Also, Liberia was set up with good intentions - not exploitation. Were any of the French colonies in Africa like that?
