the US and russia have been through this before. how can one forget the cuban missile crisis? my opinion? it's a ploy from both sides for some obscure political reason, quite possibly some kind of balance of power.
Why should anyone be nervous or scared or whatever about a DEFENSIVE shield? Are they planning to send any missiles or what? Baron Max
The world has always been in a transition of power ...ever since the first man stood upright on the African plains. Baron Max
dont worry max, its only a defence shield, nothing will happen. what if your neighbour set up a barrage of RPGs pointing at your house and called it a defence shield, im sure you wouldnt be so supportive of it when you would be on the receiving end.
Well, I know it, and now you know it, .....so why doesn't the damned Russians know it? Geez! Well, if he said it was defensive, then I'd believe him and support his efforts at defense. Surely he wouldn't lie about it. Baron Max
Russia has reason to be on the defensive. We've brought Eastern Europe into NATO, got permission to build bases in the Stans -Temporarily- then the US states they are permanent. We are stoking the anti Russian movement in Ukraine, offering no help in Chechnya, actually aiding critics of Russia's own 'war on terror' and the US is pushing for a nuke umbrella over it's former territory in central Asia. The US is trying to destabilize Iran to install a Shah 2 and water rights in central Asia are not going Russia's way as US backed dictatorships in the Stan's drain resources. Russia has every reason to be on the defensive. The US is surrounding her.
Well, that's just tough shit, ain't it ....'cause they can't do a damned thing about it but flap their damned jaws and whine like wimps and little girls. Baron Max
USA has put/ is putting rocket bases in poland and radars in Czechoslovakia. This means Russia will have to make same # of rocket bases and radars to take out each of those new bases. It is an appropriate action to the hostility from the USA and UN.
Oh, goody, goody!! Maybe we'll finally get back to the good old days of the Cold War, ...when men were men, and weapons were huge! No more of this bullshit of a few sticks of dynamite shoved up some Arabs ass that he lights off to "heroically" kill a couple of little kids! Baron Max
The US is building a new cold war axis. Promises by the US of Russian gain by the Turkey to Central Asia oil pipeline were also dropped. Now Russia is completely bypassed. Americans have never been able to understand Consequences.
Genji, you use to amuse me, now your just plan pathetic, I am waiting to here some day that a janitor in Ohio went postal.
That much is obvious. The US got it's ass kicked in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Lebanon and northern Korea. Not a chance our army of rednecks could win against Monaco! Let alone Russia.
And people wonder why others hate us or why they would try and do something like destroy the WTC.. Heh, yup. - N
