#2 "Russia has/will do what it takes to win". AMERICAN THINKER > article premises that Russia is becoming belligerent due its own awareness of its SSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH declining power???

OTOH, lest we fergit, CHINA has already declared the Pacific and 1/2 of CONUS as future Chicom territory, so when the Motherly Russ Airborne invades Amer to save Amer cities from Americans, they'll be invading China. *EAST-ASIA INTEL > China has formally requested that the Pacific be evenly divided between it + USA. So, iff the Chicoms ever do take over the USA one day, the Pacific will be divided bwtn China + China.

#5 Canada answered the Russian move with a clear message, highlighting plans to spend up to $7.12 billion to build and operate eight patrol ships to help protect its sovereignty in the Arctic.

Is this the same Canada who couldn't deliver rescue and security troops to Indonesia during the Tsunami because it didn't have the transport logistics to do it? Now they are going to spend billions on patrol boats to keep the Russkies honest in the artic?

#8 "If someone doesn't like this, let them go down themselves ... and then try to put something there.

I say do it. Go down, rip theirs out, put up one of ours. And send the one we ripped out back to Putty. He can put it in his museum next to his Super Bowl ring...

#11 The confusion is to be expected: Santa wears red, Rudolph's nose is red, and Mrs. Claus is a Marxist. No, wait, that's Nancy Pelosi.

Yep. The same Canada that had a Chinese ship make an unannounced port visit in their northern territory. No response, 'cause there was nothing to respond with.
