Hey don't look here. Look there! NATO'S adventurism is what is going to spark off a global confrontation. Anyone saying that "Russia is definitely more aggressive" and is conflating their willingness to stand up to belligerent posturing and violent regime change right on their front doorstep has swallowed an ideologically set position rather than actually looked at the facts. I mean you cannot kick someone in the balls once and then scream unfair play when the next time they meet you they are wearing a box and have a slightly combative posture. Maybe the schoolyard attitude prevailing in the west that to defend yourself is inexcusable has crept too deep into the common psyche and anyone not willing to submit is a loony megalomaniac ready to take the world by force. I suppose being able to snap your fingers and have a legion of other national "co-alition partners" leap to your bidding does give a country somewhat of a feeling of entitlement over the world in which they are but a part and it is a shock to realise that other countries actually do draw red lines that mean something.
Haha! Love the backpack! Yes, I see what you mean, YP. But I still wish their hypersonic glider would bite the dust right along with their POE! (sorry - you know those Russians scare me!)
. Sad thing is that even though the Russians are a real threat (more from miscalculation than planning on their part...) they lack the "Spartan" image of the old Soviet Union... the old Red Army. Western culture has managed to corrupt the purity of their essence... (POE)...
OK, I'm sure if Russia had such a hypersonic glider that really could defeat all missile defenses we would know about it and wouldn't have just set the 2 new ones up in eastern Europe. Their culottes! Haha! Yes, the key is not to get alarmed. I need to work on that. Russia has scared me ever since I heard my parents talk about Khrushchev saying he was going to bury us when I was just a little kid, and all the hiding under our desks at school. Perfect illustration, that should be me holding the teddy bear, Obummer would be trying to pet Russia and feed him the teddy bear! Thanks YP, you are always the intelligent voice of reason.

A lot re weapons systems are "psykedo" , not factual... or at least made a decade in advance of capability. Doesn't mean that some don't work... just don't let them alarm you. The threat is real, but they put on their culottes one leg at a time... -YP-
