Wake up guys.....the cold war isn't over

Post by Marc Martyn » Wed Sep 10, 2008 10:14 pm

Vivid memories of October 1962 just rushed to the front of my mind. I'm guessing that McDonald's in Moscow will be closing it's doors fairly soon.....

Unless George has alienated McDonald's too. In which case they will be closing their doors here.

I could give a rip about McDonalds. Russia now has another puppet country from where they can place strategic weapons within striking range. Maybe George should visit with Ted to find out what Jack did about the situation. :-k

Yep, it's on again. I wonder if the American people have the intestinal fortitude to win another one. Large oil reserves can make some countries uppity....all the more reason for a rapid transformation to alternative fuel and energy sources.

And what in the world was Georgia's leadership thinking?

I dont think it ever ended..If America wants to survive a real war we need a country like China as an allie.With 50 billion Chinese soldiers we could be unstoppable.Lets leave Bush in office and see where it all ends up at.Another 4 years of Bush could be quite exciting..Hahahaha.

I have a friend from Russia that I work with he told me from his point of view from living there that "the cold war never ended"
I agree with him.

Marc.... I was around during the time of the bomb cellers and it was scarey for some and others just went fishin' .... I just think I'll continue to fish.... The only reason I'll dig a hole is to get worms... I hear that NewZealand has killer trout streams....The time might come to check them out. But for now the the Samish is opening for Kings....Might see you there, Steve:salut:

I don't know what you are so scared about Marc....

Per our potential future VP:
Gibson alluded to McCain's recent statement that Alaska's proximity to Russia lent Palin some expertise on that nation, asking Palin to explain.

"They're our next-door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska -- from an island in Alaska," she said.
I think she has the diplomatic ability to stave off a world war, since she can see the country. God knows McCain would never lose his temper and start something like that.....

Im moving to Canada....

so much stuff is about to happen.and it will affect everyone here at home.ill post more about what im talking about.you will all be suprised and upset.and i must say a war with iran will be happening sooner than everyone thinks...and as far as russia goes.yea dude.they are building there troops up in cuba and venusawla..and russia says if iran is attacked then it will help iran.and send russian troops to help them.and right now at this moment a huge naval armada is heading to iran.and yes we will go to war with them.we invaded iraq cause we though they had weapons of mass destruction even though there was no proof of this.however there is proof of iran devlopeing enriched urainium .and they have enough nukeular centerfuges to build dozens of nukelar weapons.and that is a threat to isrial's existance.... however i think they just want electricity to power up their growing country

Its a fun little joke to pop off with Mike. You remember when Bush took office in his 2nd term, did you hear the statistic of hits the Canadian immigration website took?

400,000 the day after the election.

Any guesses how many emigrated?

0

Id rather stay and try to keep the country from going off the deep end of religious overemphasis in government, try to prevent overmilitarization and more attempted occupations, and keep a few sensible people in office that don't want to let commerce overrun common sense.

You righties need a few lefties to keep you all in line!
