It's a pity we can't get a regime change here. Come on Russia, come on over and protect the British people from our own government. Think of the cheap oil and gas we would get too.

World War 3 coming up. Russian (and Chinese) commies in control. This is the first of many incursions designed to test the West. You think it's all over - to quote Randy Bachman, you ain't seen nowt yet.Comment

Originally posted by Nicky G View PostAgain, utter nonsense. Do you realize how many ICBM's Russia has? How many it has that are most likely undeclared? Do you realize that any first strike would come from submarines? That before that there would be a little “diversion” in the form of an “Islamic” terror strike where US leadership is decapitated?
Furthermore , as you mentioned , if it is just a question of firing ICBMs from submarines then why should NATO bother with their aggressive policy ?
NATO's provocative policy surely has now to be reviewed accordingly.Comment

You underestimate the dangers of having a single dominant superpower dictating it's terms to every other state, controlling their governments through bribery, controlling the world's energy resources and bleeding them dry. Barring any large change in US foreign policy (who knows, maybe the Democrats will be better) there has to be a counter balance.
As for "democratically elected", it doesn't make a huge difference to me personally whether the president of Georgia is a US puppet or a Russian puppet.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

Georgia and Russia agree on truce:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7557457.stm
"Georgian troops return to their places of permanent deployment. Russian troops return to pre-conflict positions."
Just as I predicted, all Russia wanted was a return to the pre-conflict state (along with an opportunity to do as much damage to the Georgian military while they could get away with it).
Still no clue though what the Georgian president was thinking when he ordered the attack on South Ossetia, did he really expect Russia to not intervene?Last edited by bored; 12 August 2008, 22:22.Comment
