Russia is still our enemy. They just know that they can't beat us on their own, that's why they team up with China on things like opposing Bush's missile defense program.

russia is our ALLY, therefore NOT our enemy.
BUT, i would keep an eye on them, their "balance of power" maneuvering is highly suspect at times. |

Russia is not to be trusted at all. They are a dangerous country in a financial crisis. It would not be unreasonable to think that they would sell Nuclear warheads to a wealthy Middle Eastern Nation to get out of financial ruin. Here is a small excerpt from a recent intelligence analysis: The Russian navy recently began trials of a third-generation
Akula II-class nuclear-powered attack submarine, the Gepard, in the White Sea. Moscow has also deployed a Delta III nuclear missile submarine in the Pacific Ocean. Both vessels surprised Western intelligence. Now President Vladimir Putin's government is directing scant resources into construction and finds shipbuilding boosted by orders from abroad. Russia's ship program also appears to be aided by an unwitting suspect: the U.S. Navy. The Russian navy apparently has garnered significant technology that will make future submarines quieter and harder to detect. This technology appears to have come from espionage allegedly conducted by former FBI agent Robert Hanssen, according to intelligence sources. The U.S. Navy reportedly is investigating the extent to which its submarine program was penetrated. |

In my simple mind, this is how i figure it:
we (the USA)and them(the USSR/CIS/Russia or whatever they decide to call themselves) were pointing guns at each other, waiting for each other to shoot, undermining each others policies, etc. Basically, each wanting to kill the other for almost 50 years. Then, one day, they decide to become our best buddy. I don't think so. [heavy] |

I don't like calling people names. But are these people voting, they are our friends, retards? The failure of the Soviet Union wasn't because they wanted to be friendly. [spank]

I miss the cold war. There was never any doubt as to who the bad guys were. We had good slogans too. Remember "Kill a commie for Mommy?"
I love that one. |

Actually- we in the U.S. owe the Soviets alot seeing as they did most of the fightin' and dyin' in WW2. We'd all probably be driving Volkswagens instead of SUVs if the Soviets hadn't kicked the German's butts. They lost 10 million dead and 15 million wounded destroying the Wehrmacht. If not for them the Germans would have won WW2. As far as today, with anticommunism gone as a "cause" the rich people who run things will have to find some other way to create mischief across the world to keep that ol' military-industrial ball rolling. The Soviets were never really our enemies, they just wanted an equivalent to our Monroe Doctrine in Europe so they wouldn't be invaded every 20 years. We were at least as much a cause of the Cold War as they were.

Rent the Brendan Fraser movie "Blast from the Past". The scene at the end where he is explaining to his dad (played by Christopher Walken) about the end of the cold war is hysterical. I think he's right on about it, too.
