Hm China is finally buying a carrier eh? They really need to up their Naval game to be a world military power.
CNN is talking about this right now.
EDIT: They never really said anything interresting, just a basic summary of what has happened then talking about coutries condemning it, then a quick word on what mcCain and Obama said about.

They have the worlds largest airforce (allegedly) so they are okay in respect
I've seen an interesting theory at another forum...
Georgia is very friendly with NATO, although it's not part of NATO (the same situation as Ukraine). What if part of Russia's objective is simply to show countries in their situation that NATO won't really protect them once the shit hits the fan?
In short, this could be just a way for Russia to decrease NATO's credibility.

Nukes have no really use since the US has the power to send the entire world back to the stone age. They also have the ability to pump out nuclear missiles at an alariming rate if they need to. The US army is made to fight other armies not go door to door looking for old women who hide AK's and bombs under their clothes. The US is the worlds biggest military power and no other countries have the power to match what the US can do. |
The US couldn't win in Vietnam and it can't win in Iraq. While it has the largest military budget the US military is all but incapable of winning wars. The Chinese military budget is expected to surpass the US military budget by 2025. Russia's military though downsized is still very powerful capable of operating on a global scale. While the US can send the world back into a stone age Russia can do that ten times over with a larger nuclear stockpile than the us. It's called MAD, Mutually Assured Destruction. If the US were to attack Russia then both countries would invariably be sent back a few thousand years under a hail of nuclear weapons. The US can only attack and possibly prevail against countries that do not have the nuclear power to murder millions of civilians in the US homeland. Russia and China do not need to answer to the public, both are more or less authoritarian, The US pulic however would not allow it's government to sacrifice millions of lives in a pointless war.

I don't really want to piont people out, but MrBubbles post about Russia wanting control of Georgia again is speculation based on US propaganda (sorry MrBubbles, but I needed to pick someone). I had read some comments on other forums and kind of trailed it into my post. |
if Putin can be considered US propaganda...then yes.

According to 'We Were Soldiers' Mel Gibson led the American army to victory. I think you need some history lessons. Mel Gibson is never wrong

Guys, lets not go overboard here. This conflict is not going to lead to a U.S. war with China (the Russia/China "friendship" is tenuous at best) and it's not going to lead to a new cold war.
It's a horrific occurrence and it does have the potential to destabilize the region for some time, but it will most likely stay fairly localized.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!
Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
this kinda makes me sick but while this is going on the big story in the states is the fact that Edwards the one politician had an affair and is saying he didn't have a kid.....so sad that is more important then what could lead to a major war
