Why do you speak in the past tense? What has changed that leads you to believe money is no longer a problem for Russia?

How did you determine that? Please post the source of this economic data.

Here is mine:

They do not even outnumber us numerically...at least China has that going for them.


We heard the same thing about Japan in the 60s.

We have a saying in America: "Talk is cheap".

(btw - You do know the Polar Bear is going extinct because of global warming right? Perhaps you might want to pick a better analogy, heh heh)



When? Carpet bombing is unacceptable because it puts civilians at risk. As far as I know, we don't do it anymore.

When did we last carpet bomb someone? I don't think we've done it since Vietnam.



It can be shoehorned with guided weapons, but was never designed to carry them.


Do you have a source for those weapons? I'd like to see the particulars. I don't think that is analogous to carpet bombing.

I think we may be using different definitions of carpet bombing. My definition is dropping an entire B-52 bombbay indiscriminately over a target area as opposed to dropping on pinpoint targets, or more simply a saturation bombing against a specific area.

Like I said, the air force doesn't use B-52 carpet bombing strikes over civilian areas, they use them up in the mountains against Taliban positions that are away from villages.

That was my point.

I don't want to shoot Albanians. Who told you that? I want them to live. But not to refer to our land as theirs. So, my intention is to reverse the decision in the future. Perhaps in 20, 30, 50 years... Doesn't matter. The Jews waited for 2000 years and got what they wanted. So will we. Strong Russia will be much helpful.

That was not the Bear. Those were communists. The true Bear is strong and rich orthodox nation, devoted to protection of fellow orthodox Slavs.

Perhaps those countries will make a strong alliance with the Bear. The resources are on that side of the planet. More than half of mankind is on that side of the planet. Things are about to change in the long-term future dramatically.

Au contraire. The EU has never been more divided. This is Europe, not America. You cannot invent a nation. By the way, nationalist movements are stronger every day all over Europe.

I guess we are about to find out.

I heard Japan and Canada just recongized an invented nation in Europe recently.

There was far more to the pacific war then you care to understand. There were more than two or three islands. You missed Guadalcanal, the Philippines, New Guinea (which saved Austrailia), the Solomon islands, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, Midway, the Battle of Coral Sea, the battle of the Philippine Sea, and the Battle of Leyte Gulf (the largest naval battle in history).

All of them were won because of the skill of the American Carriers

Wrong. They recognized another Albanian state in the Balkans.

The Alboes from Kosovo don't wave Kosovo flags (the one you introduced here), but the state flags of Albania. Think about that.

"..when word of crisis breaks out in Washington, it's no accident the first question that comes to everyone's lips is: where is the nearest carrier?" -President Bill Clinton






Oooh I likes. I will add it to my title:

Minister of Picnics, War, and Soirees; Her Majesty's Fänrich Commandant, Militärmestare Sultan of Ghanzibar, Prime Minister of Shangrila, King of Cuba (soon to be ruler of the world), Oberst Fältväbel, Capitaine de vaisseau, Kapitän zur See, Général de brigade, SAS Operative Captain, Överstelöjtnant, Everstiluutnantti, EvilDoer Obersturmbannführer und Mighty Dark Clown, The Supreme Overlord Ted

Not according to them. No offense, but I think they are more aware of who they are recognizing than you are.



What does that have to do with anything?

That has to do with you inventing a nation - Kosovo nation. Such nation does not exist, nor will it ever exist. You created a new Albanian muslim state in Europe.

So, Albanians have 2 countries now.

im split on the issue of kossovo. i tend to think that if a region of a country want to brake away im usually in favor of it. but with kossovo its much more complicated. if kossovo was annexed by albania it would be like they took the land from the serbs. i would want to support such an action..
