You know, saying "stop blaming people and insulting people" and then pointing someone out is kind of......counterproductive. Just sayin' ;)

Umbar is not so much a nation as a ton of pirates that work together, much like the real-life Barbary Coast corsairs. They were capable of opposing weak navies (Gondorian shipbuilding has been in decline since Elendil landed in Middle Earth---remember that the Numenoreans had already sailed around the entire coast of Middle Earth and established outposts,(Including the havens at Umbar), which often fell into ruin as the Numenoreans realized that they were useless, meaning that Gondor has no real need for sailing capabilities)

Also, Gondor is the strongest kingdom of Men. Period. End of story. Any one group of men going against Gondor will lose, it's said multiple times in the books that Gondor is stronger than any kingdom of Men. Orcs, however, with Men....well......you need a wizard for that. And a King. And some Hobbits. Always the Hobbits.
