OMIGOSH,stop it!! My sides are hurting !! This thread should be sent to the "Humor" site....

thanks Pavel.....you can report back to the Enterprise now....

To whom should i report? Please clarify.

In case you don't get it he's refering to Pavel Chekov, a character in the origional Star Trek series.

Which was actually kind of interesting in that Star Trek ran during the cold war. So it would have been tempting to avoid having Russian characters on such a show or have them have some negative traits or something, but the Pavel Chekov character was supposed be part of showing humanity finally working together and was reliable, skilled, and on his way up the ranks.

Washington's nuclear maneuver

18:59 | 28/ 08/ 2008


- Quoting anonymous sources, the Western media are making a stir by saying that the United States is ready to freeze the intergovernmental agreement with Russia for peaceful nuclear cooperation because of the Georgian conflict.

The Financial Times called the agreement one of the obvious victims of the tensions between Washington and Moscow, which have rarely been so high since the end of the Cold War.

Japanese publications are even more pessimistic. They believe that a step toward freezing the agreement raises a question mark over the future of bilateral nuclear cooperation.

However, Russia and the United States have been cooperating in the nuclear sphere for many years, and nobody is going to cancel their contacts. The two great powers guarantee nuclear non-proliferation and development of civilian nuclear power industry. The agreement in question was signed on May 6 of this year.

This agreement establishes basic principles of cooperation in the nuclear sphere, and is designed to provide a legal foundation for direct contacts between Russian and American companies in civilian use of nuclear energy. Before, all business in this sphere was based on exclusive intergovernmental agreements, whereas this document will allow American and Russian companies to cooperate without asking their presidents for signatures on every occasion.

Businessmen have been waiting for this agreement for many years. Its absence was due to political rather than economic reasons. The vestiges of the Cold War were not fully overcome, and the confrontation between the two powers in the super-sensitive nuclear sphere politicized even civilian programs.

However, the situation has changed since then. Both possessing considerable nuclear potential, the United States and Russia decided to remove political obstacles and develop a mutually advantageous partnership. The agreement was signed by Sergei Kiriyenko, head of the Federal Agency for Nuclear Power (Rosatom), and U.S. Ambassador William Burns, who said that the two former rivals in this sphere were now partners.

First you people claim that the Missile Defense System is just a pretext for an OFFENSIVE missile system on Russia's borders.

You base this claim on the "fact" that missile defense doesnt work...yet it seems to work well enough that Russia feels it needs to develop a missile specifically to counter...a system that doesnt work?

Please make up your minds, heh heh



We have the largest GDP in the world by a large margin. We aren't a credit risk.



It didn't help before...that was what we have been trying to tell you from the beginning! heh heh

Russia has THOUSANDS of warheads...ten interceptor missiles are not going to stop thousands of warheads. Thats what we have been telling you from the beginning. This stealth missile is a pointless and wasted effort. MDS was never intended to defend against a Russian attack. We already have a defense against Russian attack...it is called M.A.D.

This "stealth" missile is useless, even assuming it works exactly as claimed. Because it will not defend Russia against a counterstrike, and the threat of M.A.D. is the whole reason Russia will never attack the US with nukes.

If Russia wants to engage in this pointless ego stroking, hey, far be it from me to stop them. They can waste as much money as they want. Their "threat" to us is exactly the same as it was before. Nothing changed.


Yeah, there are mid and terminal phase missile sites in Alaska for sure.



Exactly...we have been telling them all along that the MDS was never aimed at Russia anyway. Why would we care if Russia developed a way to defeat a system that was never intended as a defense against them anyway?



It would depend on the wording of the treaty. The senate may have ceded authority to the President on this matter (which they did with the declaration of was powers in Iraq as well).

Is it Constitutional to do so? The Supreme Court, by their inaction, seems to say "yes". And they are the final authority.

more threats
Even if US attacks Russia with nukes first?
btw, USA is threatening Russia back into stoneage even as we speak

Can you even find so much as a Pravda link for that? Especially for a first strike. I mean we keep the missiles pointed at each other and all so that's an implied threat. But actually saying something?

No. Since the US will never attack Russia with nukes.



Source please.

I've never seen any evidence at all that the US is planning an attack of any kind against Russia. Not even a vague implication.
