#1 What does Russia hope to accomplish by his increasingly belligerent stance? You start to wonder if they actually believe America is as wimpy as presented by the NY and LA Times. There in lies the danger of being educated with white-washed history books.

#2 People, they REGULARLY test fire their missiles: They use air pressure to eject the missile, then the blast doors snaps shut just before it ignites. (This is not alien technology: its the same way submarine based ballistic missiles are launched.) They then reload from an underground magazine. This method makes their missiles very inaccurate, so that's why their total megatonnage is so big: they need large yield weapons to be effective within their error margins.

They didn't disarm or reduce their inventory. We're letting ours degrade via tritium decay. Progress was being made on a treaty when it got tabled by 9/11, so you can go thank Bin Laden for screwing up disarmament.

This is from Agence France-Presse folks! They need us, the people of the United States, to believe that Armageddon is just around the corner.

Move along. Nothing new to see here...

#3 hmmm, perhaps you are right and I have been seeing this in the wrong light. Found this interesting tid-bit from March 26th regarding the Arms Treaty http://customwire.ap.org/dynamic/stories/R/RUSSIA_US?SITE=AZTUS&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT
Ok, maybe this is all just political posturing rather than actual threats. Hey, I never claimed to be an expert :-)

#4 Ok, that was my post. Shhh, I've exposed myself. Well, I only put the veil on earlier to further avoid offending Muslim sensitivities and I forgot to take it off. :-)
