Ain't it just swell? Pubic Patch has made the world safer for all/some/a few/no people. Thanks AH.

Nuking them over there, Comrade, so we don't have to nuke them over here.

I'm actully a little surprised they haven't nuked parts of Chechnya yet. But if any of their gas customers gets behind in payments...

And they really HAVE nukes.
Thousands of them.
And they work.

Given the militaristic behavior of Bush and the dwarf presidential candidates, who could argue with him?

Oh, and it's "embrace."

Of course this was bound to happen. I predicted it as soon as Chimpy announced it.

Hey, according to our policy, countries like Iran, and North Korea have every right to attack us under the cover of "pre-emption."

We may well reap what we sow.

But I pray we don't.

But I pray we don't.

A billion Muslims praying that we do.

Oh, and it's "embrace."

Or Russia Embraces

Nonetheless, they actually have the damn things in numbers comparable to us and theirs work, too.

The weapons exist, they're armed, and they could make economics and bad weather seem trivialities. For a few seconds.

OK, an hour, tops.

"The comments from the hawkish Baluyevsky did not appear to mark a policy shift for Russia, whose leaders have stressed the need to maintain a powerful nuclear deterrent and reserved the right to carry out preventive strikes to counter existential threats. But in most of their public remarks about preventive strikes, President Vladimir Putin and other officials have not specifically mentioned the use of nuclear weapons."

I don't really know why folks are treating this as some NEW Russian policy.

No doubt about it. Maybe we shouldn't go about unilateral disarmament just yet.

===================
It is NEW Russian policy. When the SOVIET UNION disassembled (fell apart) Russia was not in any position to push its weight around. Things have changed and Putin is pissed, especially at Bush.

"A billion Muslims praying that we do."

Fortunately God does not listen to their prayers.

So. Russia and China have been getting real cozy, for some time now.
Both nations have signed off on strategic alliances with Iran. For both trade and energy security. Multi force war games.
Russia most certainly has submarine launched nuclear capability, China may also have limited capability.
The problem with nuclear weapons, is it takes nuclear weapons, generally, to eliminate nuclear weapons.
Pre-emptive launch of nuclear weapons by anyone, will end badly for all. If you had to make that call, are those incoming here or somewhere else?
What if they are someone elses, headed for a third country by flying over yours? All you might know is who fired them and they are about to come in range. How many hits do you take? One? Five? Ten missiles? What if they are intended for a friend?
From zero to horrific, in under fifteen minutes.

Suicide.

Nothing Bush does works. Its a multigenerational continuation of the "Madness of King George".

Bush has succeeded where no President for the past fifty years has - he has actually made the world less safe. (Smirk) So if you are interested in avoiding World War III, (smirk) do as I say.

OK, an hour, tops.

Yeah, but for us raptured ones, it'll be a party.
