Pravda (News) had devolved into the Russian Version of the National Enquirer. I wouldn' trust that rag or website news. The other Russian news outlet I think is called TASS. I think that translates into "Truth"

The russians use to say there is no news in "Truth"
And no truth in "News".

Duty now for the future comrade!

Here are our options. If the Russians or any other country with nuke and ICBM technology invents a way to avoid our defense systems, we HIT THEM NOW AND WE HIT THEM HARD!

The only thing keeping us alive is our ability to dish out severe punishement while blocking most of theirs. Once that is gone, it is open season on the USA.

This is very very bad mojo for us.

So what you are saying is that Russia should nuke the USA now before they develop the Star wars defence system?? Becourse when the US gets the ICBM defence system it will be open season on Russia??
Scary!!!

I don't think the Russians want a nuclear war anymore than the US, so even if they have a defence against ICBM'S they wouldn't think of attacking the US.

Come on guys, grow up! This not the Cold War anymore.

*puches sarcastic speech-button*
Besides we already know America is the best country in the world with the best army in the world.
And we all know you can't win guerilla battles; Vietnam anyone?
*Pushes sarcastic speech-button agian*

I hope I haven't stepped on too many toes...

Edit: typo's!

And those nifty orbital lasers Bush wants up in the sky?
Hahaha... the Star Wars programs was one of the biggest defence mistakes of all time. Man the huge amount of money that program gobbled. Unbelievable.

Edit: Hey! I quoted a different post from Atrocities! Ah well, you get it.

Yeah right.

Politicians never understand wars. They are quick to start it when they shouldn't, or quick to avoid it when they should fight it, (Chamberlain anyone?

) but they rarely get it right.

Look at the Last Iraki War. All those stupid a'holes in the govt where expecting the Irakis to receive the US army with flowers, while the military was screaming for more troops and more planes. I've heard rumors from my pals that Rummy wasn't even expecting a resistance.
The Secretary of Defense its nothing more than a hawkish politician that can't see around the corner, and then the military leadership can't speak up because well, they can't speak up.

Let's just say that Iraki Freedom went better than the military expected, worst than the politicians dreamed.

The new Star Wars plan was only for intercepting 150 missles. Not the big grandiose scheme that Ronald RayGun had planned. This doesn't include the "Theatre Ballistic Missle Defence" that involves upgraded Aegis Cruisers and that 747 with the big laser in back that shoots through a turret in the nose. Son of Star Wars was only suppose to protect us (and hopefully friends) against Rogue States or China .
If Russia wants to develope a missle that zigs and zags then go ahead. If Russia wants to develope a hypersonic cruise missle then maybe a hypersonic SAM would counter that. Don't worry I don't think Russia is our enemy anymore. It's that N. Korean Don King impersonator your gotta look out for.
