#1 SPACEWAR > OUTSIDE VIEW - RUSSIA'S VACUUM BOMB WARNING. Old ways of fighting wars have changed + gone the way of the Dodo and Dreadnought. WARS ARE NOW NEAT, CLEAN, DECENTRALIZED + LOCALIZED - I don't think BANANAS = GWEN STEFANI's song is what SPACEWAR had in mind. *OTOH, 1960's-70's Guam Taotamonas > destruction of key Pacific Islands by selective nuke detonations to deny to enemies ala OIL/RESOURCES CATACLYSM. DON'T SEND IN THE MARINES ANYMORE, YOU SINK THE ISLAND! D ***NG IT, DIDN'T ANYONE IN ARMY INTEL EVER LOOK AT STEFANI'S BOOB RACK LIKE SHE SAYS TO!
