Electric Boogaloo?

Nuclear Boogaloo?

Well, America, you wanted the Berlin Wall brought down. You wanted an end to Soviet communism. You wanted democracy and free elections in Russia.

And now, as you had hoped, the Russians are going to the Poles.

If they install a missile defense network in Poland, won't that defend against a nuclear attack?

A small part of me wants to see another nuke dropped in anger... it'll really scare some people straight. Or it will bring about a nuclear war... the larger other part of me doesn't want that.

 
abb3w [TotalFark] 2008-08-16 06:04:08 PM  
So: try to organize a defensive alliance of all the former Soviet client states who are interested in not being part of Russia.

Cold War II? How about the Cold War never ended... Keep up with the times there, subster...

 
Bendal 2008-08-16 06:37:18 PM  
Russia's always been paranoid about the western armies, especially Germany's. They see their nuclear missile force as the deterrent from another land invasion, ludicrous as that may be to us. A missile shield sitting over Western nations disarms that deterrent, and to their mindset allowing another invasion without fear of reprisal.

A missile defense system to them is as bright a line in the sand as Iran getting nuclear weapons to President Bush. They will NOT passively allow Poland or any other country on their border to have one, IMO.

 
RobFMJ 2008-08-16 06:37:23 PM  
Threaten a NATO country with a nuclear attack...

Brilliant!

It comes as no surprise the Russians would be stupid enough to drop a nuke in their own back yard. Seriously, this would hurt them as much as Poland. Let's all hope for a strong wind from the West...

Except the Mongols, which is why many Russians have a vaguely Asian look to them.

We should be outraged!

We haven't done that since MacArthur asked for permission to nuke China during the Korean war!

Which I'm sure is TOTALLY different to all you fearmongers out there.

 
Nuclear Monk 2008-08-16 06:42:25 PM  
Well...it'd be the easiest way for Russia to judge how effective the shield is.

Possibly the millions of people who die defending that cold shiathole.


Then again, this is Russia we're talking about.

 
Iplaybass 2008-08-16 06:43:07 PM  
It really pisses me off that the US has their dirty military hands spread all over the world.

 
tiiger 2008-08-16 06:43:13 PM  
The Russians were just stating a fact. The first strike targets of nuclear attacks are ABM sites, missile fields, radar installations, and military airfields.

When all is said and done, most major cities are pretty safe. But I have some bad news for the citizens of North Dakota...

Some of you folks have a very broken understanding of the chances of the 'missile shield' shooting down a single long range launch, let alone the kind of 'blot out the sun' scenario that would occur in the event of a russian/west nuclear exchange.

Rickerkioz: I think I'd rather avoid the destruction of the human race. Just my opinion.


Destruction??? There's almost 6.7 billion humans (headed for 9 billion by 2045) and the libtards are always reminding us that overpopulation is at the root of all our other problems. As long as we get a few weeks of advance warning, I'm pretty confident that many Americans will survive and prosper. The Russians: not so much.

A nuclear exchange (with Reagan's SDI protecting the hometown team) might slow the growth of greenhouse gases and make the next iteration of the United Nations more willing to fund a standing Army, Navy, and Air Force.

You might have forgotten about Poland, but Russia sure didn't.

 
The First 2008-08-16 06:46:41 PM  
Now, see if Russia still respected us and was scared of us, they'd never do something this stupid. But, thanks to Bush (yes, I went there...get over it) we have no standing in the world.

Iran can defy us and all we can do is shake our heads and say 'no'
China can ignore us and we can do is...well, nothing, since we owe China shiat load of money thanks to Iraq.
Russia can do this move knowing full well that we don't have any capacity to stop them

Essentially, Bush not cost us 1 trillion dollars, and 5000+ military lives, he also cost us our standing as a world power.

Thanks GOP!

ninjakirby: Haven't really been following this Russia/Georgia thing, how exactly is Poland now involved?

From what I understand, Poland isn't involved in the Russia/Georgia hostilities. The Russians just don't want the U.S. building a missile shield in Poland, as they believe it would weaken their position or some such. Anyway, I could be way off, but that's my take on it.

I haven't either, but Russia wants to get back into the penis waving contest and doesn't like the US having shiat in their front yard.

You will eat the meat folks, because this country was founded on two things. Meat, and war. You eat enough f**king meat, you wanna kill somebody. That's the way it works. That was the ultimate American dream. During that Persian Gulf War, I was sitting in my living room, naked, with a can of Budweiser and a three inch stake watching the war, live, on TV. I had a six foot erection with a giant cheese burger on the end of it.

Glad I'm not the only one who realizes that the nuclear shield only prevents attacks from nations with very few nuclear missiles. Russia could overwhelm any nuclear shield just through sheer numbers of nukes.

This is the age of intercontinental ballistic missiles. A huge land mass -- or being bordered by two oceans, a la the United States -- no longer guarantees protection from military attacks.
