And as far as Russia goes, it borders Iran anyway
Please see map on previous post.
The interesting question will be who retracts first, or indeed who will try to argue against geographic fact.

Re: Summary of position
Iano states:
"Russia territory" is not the same as Russian territory.
Especially with all that US military presence.

All you have done is prove the point you can't admit you are wrong.

Re: Summary of position
holmes states:
If we want to talk about modern Russia using only its immediate borders, then I would point out that Russia and Iran share a joint border on the Caspian. That body of water grants Russia clear military access to Iran by air and sea (and so land).
Your point is noted however. I suppose we should be more accurate.
You seem to have trouble admitting when you are wrong as well, but appear to have conceded the point in your own way.
Maybe the best response is "I made a mistake."
Edited by anglagard, : misspelled admitting, unlike some others, am not claiming personal inerrency

You were correct in pointing out inaccuracies, but at this point you're just plain wrong.
I think I proved my point in both cases. I predicted the response and it came true, thereby providing more evidence of my hypothesis concerning who will try to argue against geographic fact.
Thank you for validating my theories concerning the inability to admit making a mistake on the part of both parties.
Please feel free to continue to embarrass yourselves before the world.

Re: Summary of position
i guess one strategy to keep from admitting one is mistaken is to change the subject.
Let's summarize. You claimed Russia shares a common border with Afghanistan, Are you still making that claim?
Holmes claims Russia shares a common border with Iran, then states it is a common border somewhere in the Caspian Sea, blames you for meaning the borders of the old Soviet Union which has not existed for 15 years, and demands I apologize for pointing out this mistake.
All I can say at this point is you two deserve each other.
ABE - I'm done posting here, you both proved my point concerning the inability to admit a mistake, so I don't see how this debate can even be remotely productive.
You both have made several other mistakes BTW, but I dont want to consume some dozen posts with your subsequent excuses.
