Me: Oh please...."this time"? Russia is only a shadow of what the Soviets were.
I think you know nothing both about Soviet Union and Russia.

I know enough to know that the Soviets dwarfed Russia in every way that matters.

Me: I have a better idea. Lets sell them weapons, train them, and then start trade relations with them.
Like you already did with Saddam or Bin Laden.

Yeah, pretty much. Except this time we are arming a democracy. Making progress eh?

Train them and sell them weapons. Someday they'll bait your arse.

How many democracies have bitten us in the arse so far? Statistically speaking, its not that many.
We only get bitten in the arse when we arm and support NON-democracies.
Quote:
Me: Because they are being oppressed and want their own nation.
Oppressed?

Did I stutter?
I am an idealist. As are most Americans. Thats part of the reason threats are so ineffective against us.
Quote:
Me: And now we have changed our behavior. Arent you proud of us?
You were and are highly predictable.

Then tell me what you think we are going to do next. Lets test your theory that we are predictable.

You: I think that America should not back Kosovar Independence. European political affairs have absolutely nothing to do with you.
Me: When has that stopped us before?
What are you talking about?

The fact that we interfere where we please, whether it is our "business" or not. (Idealists, remember?)
The rules don't apply to despots or despotic governments. They have no rights.
Quote:
Me: What do you predict Russia will do besides "nothing"?
Nothing? We can train serbian nationalist to blow up so-called "Kosovar Independence".

Bring it on. Al Queada thought they could do the same.
How is that going for them?
Personally, I predict Russia will not even do
that much.
Quote:
Me: Oh yeah, so defeated that Saddam is now dead and Al Queada (by their own admission) utterly demoralized.
Mission Accomplished, huh??!

Getting there. I'm not sure why they even bother to continue to resist us. Their defeat is clearly inevitable. They dont have the resources to compete with us.
