EDITTED TO INCLUDE WHY I HAD EDITTED IT THE FIRST TIME

India is busy, isn’t it?

Tht’s what I was thinking too.

Not sure about the inclusion of UK vs Northern Ireland, more Northern Ireland vs IRA and UK vs IRA no?

I thought that the British army was in the unpleasant position of trying to keep those to factions from killing each other?

As for the US “war on drugs” this is not a war in the real sense but a internal police issue. The name is just to hype it up in my view.

Interestingly the US is engaged in two such “wars” and from all accounts the tactics being used are not going to help them win. In both instances they are focusing on the supply side and not on the demand side of the problem.

With regard to the war on drugs it has been said that this situation has been allowed to continue so that laws in the US slowly and steadily move the country to a police state with fewer freedoms than ever. As an outside observer of US politics I find it interesting that there appear to be a couple of “Royal families” that dominate politics. The Kennedies being the most obvious example, but even Bush and the Clinton families are well represented in political offices.

This power group is even starting to spread across the party ideologies, look at govener Swazernegger, he married a Kennedy (a sure way to office) even though he is a staunch Rebulican and the Kennedies are traditionally supporters of the Democrats.

But I digress…

Bluffcove you forgot US vs North Korea 1950 - Present. We just signed an armistice. Therefore the war isnt exactly over. IMO if either side attacked the would have a Casus Bellis because the war was never actually concluded. Somewhat of a Cold war but I would still consider it an open conflict.

Also your number 1 isnt the US alone…there are some more member of the so called Coalition of the Willing.

#5

'Twas a “Cease-Fire” rather than an Armistice, the later implies a cessation of hostilities, the former merely a suspension.

#6

The Falklands war never actually ceased either and should also still be on this list.

I will admit that I didnt write this, but I couldnt find an author it was on another forum, and I felt that it might offer something to this ofrum by providing more wars to talk about than those our own particular militaries have been involved in.

Alot of the central Asian states have been missed out - the 'Stans in particular. If people send me the ones Ive missed I will compile them, or if Sandworm doesnt mind he can jsut edit my posts.

Your a big boy you can edit your own posts. :wink: Just make a reference to so people know. Been on IRONMAN about him doing that so I have to be on everyone.
