Actually ancient China was more sophisticated than Rome,when it come to weapons, the ancient Chinese uses gun powder to power their arrows and projectiles,giving their weapons a much greater range.If we are to talk of economic, 80% of people in ancient Rome are poor compare to ancient China which was one of the wealthiest empire up to 1830s.

Ayo2004:


So what difference does it make if they informed US?why did Trump also go on Twitter and start ranting on things he did not do?war is bad business,even for big boys like USA

Ibrahimmrfish:
They are currently engaged in a boarder war.

crackhaus:

Lmao, I've given you dates and names. Go educate yourself and stop spitting rubbish.

I asked you a simple question in that comment but you managed to dodge it, where was the US and the rest of the west during the time of the great Chinese dynasties?

US wasn't even a country when China first completed the great wall (201–206BC), and you're yapping about the Roman empire that didn't exist until the time of the Christian Jesus Christ.

You must be a joker...

That's why we do not concern ourselves with how a thing started but how well done.

Nigeria once wasn't but it is now. Simply because China came before US doesn't mean that it was better, greater or more sophisticated.

You are funny.

If we are talking about sophistication in relation to empires, weapon is one aspect. It's great for seizing lands and conquering them.

That is only a day's work.

How do you keep the lands you seize and for how long do you keep the locals from rebelling?

That's the true test of power and sophistication. The Romans are notorious for setting up chains of commands and soldiers.

They built the best roads round their empire to keep transport easy and fast and at the same time make it easy for information flow.

crackhaus:

All of these are things that the Chinese are capable of. I told you earlier that colonization is simply not a part of the communist principles, they have never been interested in going to conquer far-away lands.

You keep talking about the ancient Romans, as if they are any different from the US.

Romans are the ones who taught the modern west all about imperialism and colonization – they are the original capitalists.
Proof of their work is seen with the whole Jews Vs Palestinians disagreements still going on in Israel to this very day.

The Roman army is responsible for invading and colonizing Israel, then forcing the Jews to accept Christianity. The ones who refused dispersed in what started the migration and settlement of Jews around the world.
Those who remained and converted became the founding people of what was known as the Roman Empire Palestine

Gun powder can do very little without the gun. They use it mostly in firecrackers for celebration.

And who told you that gun powder can improve trajectory? Tie a bag of powder to an arrow and you only increase its weight and chances of veering off course.

Please You guys should study history more. Not just rip a single thing off a page and come here to debate.

The Roman empire is like one of the most successful empire which was destroyed by lackadaisical attitude. If not it would still be standing till date because they were willing to learn by incorporating the ideas of those they conquer.

Roman catholics is probably a proof of the ingenuity of that empire. Something the world still hold dear.

crackhaus:

Where did you hear this from?
Is it the Nigerian army with its outdated equipment that China who already has nuclear weapons, needs to take over?

Dude, the Chinese does not like westerners either. The only reason they won't dare treat an American/British person the way they treat an African, is because US/British government cares and protects its citizens.

You want China to see you as someone that counts when your own uncle with same blood in Abuja does not even treat you well... but the day he will dash you small money, you will still hail him.

LadyExcellency:



Trump came to power on the mantra, No more wars, bringing US troops home.

He is lambasting politicians from both parties for wasting US resources on unnecessary wars.

CSTRR:

The war with afghanistan lasted long because the US remained there.
They destroyed afghanistan in a day.

The war with iran will not last more than a week, though the effects will last longer.

Ayo2004:


U obviously don't know what you are saying...[s]even the war with Afghanistan lasted far more than a week[/s],mind you,Iran is more advanced than Afghanistan,the US would be likely to win any war but if u think it would as easy as you are insinuating,u are a joker,so all those is happening,Iranians will just be sitting in their homes watching TV all those Hollywood movies must be getting to you ....one week kor,one day ni

Iran na nansense..

Mark my words, Even Nigeria or Chad will beat them front and back.....

Ayo2004:


It took almost two months to oust the Taliban from Afghanistan....and they were helped by countries like the U.K,stop saying what u don't know,U.S troops were in Afghanistan for many years but it didn't end in a day,u need to stop overhyping them like gods....

dermmy:


Well, Iran has repeatedly said it does not want war but would retaliate should the bully/aggressor attack them and i think they gave America a proportionate response in the January 8 attack by hurling missiles at U.S military bases in Iraq.

They passed a clear message letting the U.S know that they won't allow any attack go without a response. If Iran didn't do that America would have done worse after the killing of Soleimani.

Do you know what it means to attack a U.S military base injuring over 100 troops and all president Trump could do was bark and bark on twitter even after he had promised the Iranians hell and brimstone should they retaliate the killing of that General.

If U.S had taken a step further to escalate the incident after Iran retaliated, Iran too would have responded in kind. Confront a bully then that bully would think twice before messing with you next time.

Ayo2004:


If the US makes mistake and go to war with North Korea,the way dem go bomb them,their eye go shine...the US can't afford to go to war with any big power or else they will be overthrown from their throne.
For example,if US goes to war with North Korea,it will affect them so much that Russia and China will overtake them.be like say u never hear of Kim Jong Un

The guy you quoted is a jihadist terrorist and an anti American buffoon, all that gives him orgasm is anything that can cause American downfall. He is a well known Terrorist wannabe on this forum and I'm sure he is being monitored.

A little research on ancient Chinese projectile weapons and ancient Rome projectile weapons. The try Roman navy and ancient Chinese navy.Try ancient Chinese population and ancient Rome population.Try the ancient silk road and the Mediterranean trade.Try scientific achievement of ancient China and scientific achievement of ancient Rome. And if you are confused as in how gun powder can be use with arrow, try googling fire arrow.

HBB1:


How can you seriously compare ancient China and Rome?

Seriously?!

Are you kidneying me?

Same China that the Mongolian barbarian horde terrorised forever?

mu2sa2:
"Deterrence is key." That's it! The only reason US & Israelis have not attacked Iran is because they know Iran's missile capabilities and of course that Shiites are very stubborn. In terms of missile capability, Iran is among the world powers and they're not just acquiring and upgrading missiles for exhibition - they have said repeatedly they're for self-defence. As mad as Trump is, did he attack Iran? Isreal kept threatening, and that's all.

Justiceibeikenn:


You are very stupid...we are in the 21st century...war doesn't start that way

The Romans forced the Jews to accept Christianity?

What percentage of Israel is Christian?
