    Well I did read the F-22 page, as I said before. You’re right that I didn’t read the rest of them because at that point in the conversation I was extremely confused as to why you’d linked them in the first place.

    I see that the US built a total of 195 F-22’s. That number isn’t any of the ones you listed in your one comment that had some numbers.

    To be charitable to you, I might be able to find the 1000 warplanes and 70 nuclear sub numbers somewhere in the wikipedia pages you linked. I’m not going to read them, I’m really not into military hardware, but if you tell me that’s where you got the numbers, I’ll go ahead and believe you. It would be better practice, though, to quote a passage that includes the relevant figures, then link to the place you’re quoting from.

    Now what about the numbers for Russian warplanes and Russian nuclear subs? What are your sources for those figures? They surely aren’t found in a wikipedia article about the american military

        Which you haven’t linked.

        If I go to wikipedia and search “Russian military” will I find an article with those numbers?

        Why can’t you quote the relevant sections, then link to what you’re quoting from? That’s how sources in an argument are supposed to work.
