Hey Russia wants nuclear parity with the U. S.
Heard on NPR today, some guy gave a speech to Russia's Military Industrial folks saying they should ramp up their nuclear weapon capability. Just another bush legacy. Rattle those sabres. An "analyst" on NPR said he thought the Russian people will welcome this kind of talk. So are we going to attack Russia now? On from the mind of a conservative.

3. We are being tag-teamed and China and Russia must be ........
laughing their asses off.
Here we have a major redeployment of our naval forces and other service detachments to the Pacific in order to arrest the spread of Chinese regional influence, not to mention the ramping up of their naval forces (especially submarines) and now the Russian action in the Atlantic is increasing weekly. They know we are stretched out, thanks to shrub, and now the squeeze begins.
The planners at the Pentagon must be having nightmares.

4. I agree with you, I think those two countries are laughing at us and we should
be more than worried, very worried, in fact, if these idiots remain to fufill out their terms we should become terrified.

6. Now just imagine if this were a Democrat doing all of this.
The GOP would be freaking out and calling for a military coup.

7. I think that, at the Pentagon, the middle east is small potatoes...
and that the big concern is China. They have been the only real threat to the long term security of the country. Throw an alliance between China and Russia together, and that has been going on, then who knows?
Throw in a fiscally bankrupt nation without any intellectual leadership and things begin to look grim.
Can anyone say short and curlies?
