GR's delusions attracting the best of the forum ...

Everything I’ve posted so far in this thread is FACT, so the only delusion I suspect is Bananiot doing his NG service!

[Cap]

It's called defence Ban.

Its something you do when you're getting mugged.
And its morally justified when it happening in your own house.

GR's delusions attracting the best of the forum ...

You among them ofcourse.

[Bananiot]

For a tiny country we have produced a disproportionately large number of forumers suffering from delusions of grandeur, or to use a fine Greek word, megalomania.

The most acute case of this incurable disease is suffered by GR who comes second only to the late Archbishop Makarios, the Paphos village-boy who believed he had become a world statesman, after he was elected president and could play politics with the big boys of the world.

We are still suffering the political consequences of this megalomaniac’s folly, even though many of our countrymen have never stopped believing the myth of his greatness that he cultivated during his autocratic rule with the assistance of self-serving brown-nosers and gullible simpletons.

The above is paraphrasing Patroklos from the newspaper all bash patriots love to hate.

Mmm… Paphitis’ life story is even more spectacular than that of Miltiades!

My life story is something you will never know!

Why don't you tell us yours?

[Paphitis]

GR also forgets to tell you that the max. range of both these weapons system is well below where an F16 would fire or operate from... the TOR and the Mistral range is up to 16000 ft while an f16 fires from above 30,000 ft.

Another idiot talking rubbish! The ONLY thing a plane can do from 30k feet is DROP bombs… and not any kind of bombs due to the wind blowing them way off course!

To use accurate missiles and rockets, a fighter jet MUST descend to very vulnerable altitudes.

ok you ding bat, the f16 is capable of dropping cluster bombs from that altitude where each cluster bomb has 32 programable bomblets that cruise to their destined target.....

Any type of war on a small island like Cyprus where there are nationalities from many countries living on it in high concentration in many places, use of indiscriminate air power will not win the war without first killing half the population, including the ones you want to protect. Only a ground war will determine the winners and the losers. Very rarely air wars alone won anything in history, except of course, the NATO air campaign against the Serbs over Kosovo, and even then, it took around 70 days, which destroyed more structures in Serbia then in Kosovo to win the war.

Airpower is very accurate and surgical these days. It is about destroying infrastructure such as Airports, Harbours, roads, bridges, military bases, communications, radar facilities and softening the enemy before Ground troops are deployed, and then providing those troops some cover for protection and prevent enemy aircraft from attacking these troops.

Also, a mere 2 jets can be awfully intimidating for people as they fly over.

Generally speaking, ground troops want air cover, and this is what usually happens. Before Australian troops landed in East Timor, F18 jets would fly over Dili, on a daily bases in order to intimidate the Indonesians, their Army and militias.

Problem is, I’m the one behaving in accordance with human nature in line with the masses, but how do you explain your bizarre attitude?

Luckily, someone was kind enough to define your suffering so that we may have a better chance at understanding you…

Defeatism is acceptance of defeat without struggle. In everyday use, defeatism has negative connotation and is often linked to treason and pessimism, or even a hopeless situation such as a Catch-22. The term is commonly used in the context of war: a soldier can be a defeatist if he or she refuses to fight because he or she thinks that the fight will be lost for sure or that it is not worth fighting for some other reason. Again in connection with war, the term is used to refer to the view that defeat would be better than victory.

Bananiot, I suspect you were doing drugs while studying in the UK in the 60s because you obviously suffer from what I call “jelly brains”; a condition of diminished responsibility and duty to one’s nation as a result of contempt, and let us not forget bizarre statements you’ve made in the past such as… “I am a citizen of the world!” and the like which indicate an individual detached from mainstream society most likely due to chronic difficulties in fitting in.

Now this inability to fit in may be due to homosexuality, an inability to sustain an erection and/or perform, overall geekness, a traumatic social rejection, and so forth!

So yeah, I mean… it’s never too late to see a shrink!

Erm! You are telling Bananiot that he is a Geek!

Are you not some computer nerd?

OK I will have to agree with you here.

Defeatism will only lead to defeat.

Unfortunately, Bananiot is not alone. I would say that most Cypriots are defeatist, including their Governments.

Please note that this does not mean starting any wars at this point in time, because that would more than likely be the same as suicide.

Don't mean to ruin your childish parade, but any sane person will come to the same conclusion without being defeatist.
