Homer_Rice Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I think that this new admin ought to flex it's military might in a way that shows the world we really mean business. Like Reagan did with Grenada. Or Bush41 with Panama. I hear that Obama likes turtles, so in order to do a resource grab of turtledom, maybe we ought to land the jarheads on the Galapagos. Or we could just extract ourselves from Iraq, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|Bunghole| Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I think we need to look deeper at what this propsed missle shield is capable of, if it will even work. It's stated purpose I think is to protect Europe from rogue missles from countries like Iran. We also need to reexamine whom it's going to be built for. For NATO, or for ourselves? Did NATO countries ask for it, more specifically, Poland? Or are we building it out of hubris or a desire to "one-up" the Russians? I'm pretty uncertain on some of this. It's hard to trust the Russians motives here. It's clear they are pretty pissed at having a former Warsaw Bloc country become a NATO member...but whom can blame Poland? The USSR treated it's bloc countries like shitty possessions, not as allies like we treat fellow NATO members. Russia is also pretty upset about it's image as a second-rate superpower, and has been aggressively flying bomber missions very near or into other countries' airspace. I'm uncertain about the usefullness of this system. You know, as a NATO ally, we should provide support and help to other NATO countries if the situation warrants it, but that should probably be the extent of our help. If we're going to build a missle shield, build a bunch of those fuckers here in the USA and let's protect ourselves. Russia clearly doesn't like that we are trying to tip the balance of MAD in our favor with this, but there really isn't anything they could say about us building such a thing on our own soil...except build their own...it's the proximity to [i]their[/i] country that they don't like. Unless the preconditions of : NATO member asks us to build it out of fear of imminent Russian attack, NATO members agree to build such a thing (and share the cost!) for the stated purpose of missle defense against rogue nations aren't met, then we shouldn't build it. Also, fuck Russia. But there's no need to provoke them unnecessarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MULLY Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 [quote name='CTBengalsFan' post='721664' date='Nov 6 2008, 04:54 AM']No one here likes what Russia is doing, some of us question the value of getting involved. Why [i]wouldn't [/i]they be pissed off about us setting up a missile shield on their border? I mean fucking seriously. If Russia set up a missile shield along the Mexican border and said it was just to protect their ally Mexico, we'd just say "Oh, cool, have at it."? No, we wouldn't. We'd view it as an act of aggression, JUST LIKE THEY DO WHEN WE DO IT. The hypocrisy here is over-fucking-whelming.[/quote] Amen. MULLY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
