If the soviets can build one that works, I'm sure the US can. But US border patrols need to work on their style some. I bet many of those soviet guards are still unemployed and you could hire some expertise for almost nothing.

On a more serious note isn't camera's in combination with software that recognizes human and a slightly larger and more mobile border patrol not more cost effective?

You did a 5 year bump, lol. With the current level of activity, it might even be a topic from another page.

lol!

Yes, GL from me too

lol

True, but it influences Europe a lot if Turkey goes berserk. So zarfs point still stand.

Seems like the coup is falling apart.

"Socialism failed about 20 years ago. It took longer but capitalism is now showing similar situations now with so many saying FU to those who get wealthier at our detriment. Its only a matter of time befor Capitalism goes tits up, we have another world war before we finally decide being a good human is infact the best approach. "treat those around you how you wish to be treated yourself""
Isn't this perhaps, a very tiny little bit off topic?

"I'd gloat but I think the USA is headed in the same direction so we won't be able to exploit a fractured Europe"
I might be naive, but I think US and EU need one another. We share far more humanistic values as we like to admit. Together we can at least show the world there's an alternative for the totalitarian repression we see in eg Russia or China. People still want to live in the western world if they are left a choice.

Despite our differences, I think we should be allies rather then adversaries.

"No.  I am pretty sure everyone in Israel now was not there a thousand years ago."
